The concept of cultural trauma has become increasingly central to contemporary cultural, political and academic debate. This interdisciplinary conference considers academic and creative approaches to understanding the processes associated with collective memory, its signification, preservation and reproduction through mediation.



Is the memory of others also our own? By taking into account that it might be, societies expand their sense of identity and belonging. Conversely social groups can and very often do refuse to recognise the existence of othersâ?? trauma and the validity of their memory and such refusal is manifested through particular media practices and artefacts.



How have artists, film makers, media producers and academics generated and intervened in debates on global formations, national identity and cultural homogeneity?



This conference will explore possible responses to the proliferation of (personalised) media production, dissemination and social networking in order to understand and analyse memory from within and create new collectivities and conceptualisations of memory.
