Remembering and Forgetting: Memory in Images and Texts

 

 

Keynote

Prof. Maryemma Graham / University of Kansas

 

"Toni Morrison: Cultural Memory and the New World Novel"

 

Memory is one of the most important ways in which we construct individual and collective identities. Memory constantly surrounds us in texts, film, photography and architecture, and it has become a culturally contested praxis in the academy and beyond. During the conference we intend to investigate processes of how memory is constructed, how memory is transmitted in cultural and political discourse, and how remembering and forgetting shape our private and public lives. We will therefore pursue an interdisciplinary approach and welcome presentations from literary and cultural studies, film and media studies, linguistics and history. Please send your abstract (200-300 words) to stephen.joyce at uni-bielefeld.de and julia.andres at uni-bielefeld.de by March 15th, 2008. We support travel from abroad (200 Euro per speaker).
