International conference on the Cultural Politics of Memory
---------------------------------------------------------
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.

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.

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

Deadline for the receipt of abstracts: 14 February 2014
