Paper abstract bibtex The article presents a discussion related to one of the chapters of the book "Prosthetic Culture," which deals with the question of memory. Journalist Lawrence Wright's account of false memory syndrome is motivated by the desire to stem the dire consequences for society arising from the threat to masculine self-identity associated with the spread of the mimesis or suggestion paradigm. It was further argued that the fact that these representations occur at the site of some of the most contested issues in contemporary gender politics is an indication of the seriousness of what has been called a backlash to feminist political activity. However, the fact that Wright is apparently critical of false memory syndrome does not mean that his account is not, at least in part, responsible for the classification of the syndrome as such: while it is declared to be false it is also given fixity, and is in this sense rendered a snap-shot that is also a snap-shut, as a syndrome through this account and other reports such as this. What this chapter suggests is that Wright's account of this phenomenon contains not simply a backlash, a defensive response to the contemporary politics of identity, but also some indication of a more aggressive development in the gendering of cultural politics.
