Conference Alert: Upheavals of Memory
From H-Museum:
Upheavals of Memory: Defining, Imagining, Creating, Contesting Humanities Institute, University College Dublin
27-28 April 2007
The Humanities Institute of Ireland is funded under the Programme for Research in Third Level Institutions (PRTLI), administered by the HEA.
The aim of this two-day conference is to examine the discourses in which memory is defined, imagined, created, and contested. The focus of the event is to examine the identical, oppositional, complementary, and contradictory boundaries of the powers of remembrance across various disciplines. This event focuses on the overarching theme of the initial HII research programme, Identity, Memory and Meaning in the Twenty-First Century, by tangling the issue of the upheavals of memory from a variety of intersecting discourses including, but not limited to, philosophy, psychology, anthropology, archaeology, sociology, language, literature, linguistics, history, art history, classical studies, film studies, geography, and music.
