> 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.
