9th Flying University of Transnational Humanities (FUTH)

The Holocaust Meets the Post-colonial in the Global Memory Space

CGSI, Sogang University, Seoul, Korea (August 25-30, 2019)

Context of the Summer School

Each year beginning in 2010, the Flying University of Transnational Humanities (FUTH) has gathered graduate students and young scholars in the humanities and social sciences across the globe for a summer school centering on presentations by leading scholars and sharing of information and perspectives by all participants. As a truly transnational, transregional, transdisciplinary collaboration, it profits from the willingness of participants to share the core argument of their current research project and to situate it in a global context.

FUTH takes its name from Poland's Flying University, an underground educational movement first started in Warsaw in the late 19th century under Russian rule, and later revived during the Nazi occupation to offer alternative educational opportunities beyond the confines of state control and government censorship. FUTH was founded in 2010 by Jie-Hyun Lim, while he was the director of the Research Institute of Comparative History and Culture (RICH) at Hanyang University. Since 2015, its head office has been relocated to the Critical Global Studies Institute (CGSI) at Sogang University. Currently, FUTH's partner institutions are University of Leipzig (Germany), University of Pittsburgh (USA), St. Andrews University (UK), University of Tampere (Finland), National Chiao Tung University (Taiwan), Cornell University (USA), NIOD (Netherland) and Sogang University (South Korea).ThehostingofFUTHisrotatedeachyearamongthesepartnerinstitutions.The9th FUTH will take place on the Sogang University campus in Seoul, Korea (August 25-30, 2019).

Thematic Focus:

“The Holocaust Meets the Post-colonial in the Global Memory Space”

A spatial turn of the globalization reconfigured the mnemoscapes dramatically in the 21st Century. With the emergence of the global memory space, the mnemoscapes have shifted from the national to global. Memories have become entangled, cohabitated, reconciled, contested, conflicted and negotiated across borders in the global memory space.

Today’s global memory formations carry a palimpsest structure reflecting the memories of upheavals and cataclysms of the modernity at large from the early accumulation of capital to

the post-Cold War neoliberalism. Memories of the slavery, racism, colonial genocide, nationalism, world wars, holocaust, anti-colonial liberation movements, Revolution ’68, feminist movements, social minority movements, multi-culturalism become more and more interconnected.

The 9th FUTH traces the processes of global memory formation and its profound influence on people’s life by investigating how the holocaust meets the postcolonial. We look at how these violent and destabilizing events can be traced in places, stories, objects, and practices. It intends to illuminate how nations’ territorialized collective memories have been interwoven with one another beyond the confines of nation-states by way of cross-referencing, imitating, confronting and competing. The 9th FUTH explores the significance of entangled memory formations in diverse regions, which allow us to deconstruct the monopoly of Eurocentrism in memory studies and helps building forms of global memory formation fostering mnemonic solidarity and dialogue. What is at stake are these questions as below.

● How can we go beyond the boundaries of national, territorial, and ideological memory formation?

● Which approaches we need to take in order to recognize hierarchies in global memory formations and its effects?

Format of the Summer School

This Summer School will feature keynote lectures & plenary sessions, group seminars (panels of papers) led by leading thinkers, and film screening & GV, a thematic field trip.
