REMEMBERING (IN)CORRECTLY? INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE MEMORIES IN TIMES OF CRISIS
15 October 2023 @ 19:00 - 20:00
There is no correct or incorrect way to remember. But we are constantly being disciplined into particular ways of recollecting: by memory politics, media discourse, our families, our surroundings, our own changing ideas of ourselves, and so on. During crises - and wars as an extreme manifestation thereof - such disciplining becomes even more pronounced. We constantly feel we should rethink our memories, reconceptualize them, adjust them somehow. We are made to believe that there is a correct way to remember. The idea behind the suggested topic is to question this and to discuss ways to negotiate our different identities and memories actualized under extreme conditions.
