[ecrea] Conference on Affect, Memory, and Trauma at Goldsmiths

AFFECT, MEMORY, AND THE

TRANSMISSION OF TRAUMA


Friday 15th March 2013 GOLDSMITHS, University of London


You are invited to this interdisciplinary symposium that explores the 
connections between affect, memory, and trauma, and examines their 
crucial role in how we construct our individual and collective 
identities. It offers innovative perspectives on memory as a productive 
and performative affective practice that might disobey cognitive 
conventions, shaping our understanding of the past, and affecting the 
imagination of the future.

Within the recent ‘turn to affect’ in cultural studies, the arts and 
humanities and, increasingly, in the social sciences, the symposium 
gathers a number of scholars to stimulate an interdisciplinary dialogue 
that intersects the fields of affect, memory, and trauma studies.


Keynote speaker: Professor Valerie Walkerdine, Cardiff University

Author of Gender, Work and Community after De-Industrialisation (2012);
Children, Gender, Video Games (2007); Growing Up Girl (2002)


In conversation with Dr. Lisa Blackman, Goldsmiths, University of London

Author of Immaterial Bodies (2012); The Body: Key Concepts (2008);
Hearing Voices (2001)
