Memory and Countermemory: For an Open Future, Arizona State University, November 8 & 9, 2012
Full Program - printable pdf
Presentation abstracts
On November 8 & 9, 2012, we will mark the first anniversary of the 2011 symposium on Memory and Countermemory. Last year’s gathering gave birth to lively conversations and new areas of questions about inheritance and transmission of memory. The event brought together scholars, writers, and activists from Holocaust studies, indigenous and decolonial studies, trauma studies, and memorial and memoir projects. Given the intensity and impact of the conversations, we are seeking to extend an opportunity for our productive exchanges. We are particularly interested in exploring the productive tension between oral and written (and now digital) modes of transmissions as well as between indigenous, post-traumatic, and post-Holocaust trajectories of the inherited past that we memorialize (forget as well as un/forgive) for an open future.
