[ecrea] Call for Papers: The Cultural Politics of Memory

CENTRE FOR CRITICAL AND CULTURAL THEORY

CARDIFF UNIVERSITY



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.



Papers are welcome in areas such as:



·      Cultural memory and the archive

·      Curating memory

·      Globalised memory

·      Marginalised histories

·      Memory and affect

·      Memory and anti-colonial struggle

·      Memory and class

·      Memory as gender/sexual politics

·      New technologies and memory

·      Public history

·      Racialised memory

·      Religion and cultural memory

·      Space, place and memory

·      Theoretical approaches to cultural and collective memory



Please send a 300 word extract and a short CV to: (cpm /at/ cardiff.ac.uk)



Deadline for the receipt of abstracts: 31 January 2014
