Webinar: Memorial Sites. Acts of remembering through media and visual culture

Friday 24 February, 2023 – Thursday 15 June, 2023
Autor: Marcos Centeno

Pierre Nora’s Lieux de Memóire (1984) pioneered the study of cultures of memory that are built around the so-called “memorial sites”. This approach marked a significant shift from the prevalence of time to space within the historical enquiry. Simultaneously, interrogating images has also become crucial for remembering and representing these historical sites. The growing interest in the socialisation of these sites is part of the global rise of memory studies that have prompted a “mnemologic turn” in cultural studies from late 20th century to early 21st century.

 

This seminar series proposes to examine critically the narratives that have been articulated around places where the collective memory of certain societies and communities as well as the global imaginary is anchored. Our emphasis is the narratives that can be found in film, media and visual culture in general. Scholars from a variety of research fields including Memory Studies, Tourism Studies, Trauma Studies, Genocide Studies, Perpetrator Studies, Film and Media Studies, Archaeology of Images, Museology and Conservation are encouraged to contribute and discuss the visual representation, appropriation and reinterpretation of memorial sites.
