The fifth international symposium of the Finnish Oral History Network:
Travelling Memories: Lives in Transition, Helsinki, 27–28 November 2014

Mass migration and new media are the key characteristics of today’s world.
Though people have always moved from place to place, never before has migration
in all its forms affected so many people’s lives as it does today. Even when
we ourselves do not move mediated memories of people living in diaspora and
exile are a part of our everyday life. Travelling is also an essential feature
of memory. To stay alive memories must continuously be on the move. Memories
move across and beyond territorial and social boundaries from one individual to
another, from one media to another, and each time new layers of meaning are
added to them. The keynote speakers are

Baiba Bela (University of Latvia): Complexities of Memory Travel: Latvian Case

Alessando Portelli (University of Rome-La Sapienza): An Open World. Refugees,
Migrants and Guest at Europe's Borders

Outi Fingerroos (University of Jyväskylä): Reuniting Families: Oral Narratives
of Somali Immigrants and Finnish Officials

The program includes keynote lectures, paper sessions and a closing panel. The
language of the conference is English. See www.finlit.fi/fohn-seminars for the
