Negotiating National and Cosmopolitan Memories

PURPOSES AND IDEAS OF THE WORKSHOP

This section explores how cosmopolitanism has become an important topic in the study of identity formation and the changes of memories in an increasingly globalized world.

The keynotes will address the Holocaust as a transnational object of memory that has had a profound influence on memory politics in terms of lawmaking, commemorative gestures and in educating new generations. The section consists of the following three sessions:

  1. Transformed places
  2. Politics of memory
  3. Clashing memories.
