International Conference on 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
