INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON

THE CULTURAL POLITICS OF MEMORY


14-16 MAY 2014

CALL FOR PAPERS



The politics of remembering and forgetting are important social and 
cultural issues. The authority, power and resources with which to create 
hegemonic versions of the past – to give authoritative accounts that are 
available in the public domain – are largely the property of 
institutions. Questions of power, voice, representation and identity are 
central to Cultural and Collective Memory. This interdisciplinary 
conference will address how hegemonic narratives of the past are 
reproduced or challenged. It will examine the role of Cultural and 
Collective Memory in shaping meanings, values and identities. Papers are 
encouraged to address the relationship between past and present in 
Cultural and Collective Memory and how this relates to social power 
relations.

 Plenary Speakers:

Professor Valerie Hill Jackson, Texas AM University; Dr Glenn Jordan, 
University of South Wales; and Dr Roshini Kepadoo, University of East 
London; Professor Amritjit Singh, Ohio University.
