Politics of Memory, Coloniality, and Recognition: Conceptual Interrogations

Thursday, 19 July 2018: 08:30-10:20
Location: 206A (MTCC NORTH BUILDING)
RC35 Conceptual and Terminological Analysis (host committee)

Language: English

This session invites scholars who are interested in the communicative process of individual and collective memory transmission across generations and cultures. Memory is conceived as a natural tool of the mind, however, when it is communicated and shared in society it needs to be exercised based on the speakers' capacity to recall and transmit and the listeners' capacity to understand and resonate with the memory of the others. How are these intersubjective understandings made possible in different cultural and historical contexts? We welcome submissions that focus on the methodological and conceptual difficulties as well as creativity regarding this matter.
