UNIVERSITY OF WALES
CENTRE FOR THE STUDY OF SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE
*****CALL FOR PAPERS*****
"INTERSECTING TIMES: THE WORK OF MEMORY IN SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE"
A Workshop
25-28 JUNE 2000
Clyne Castle, Swansea, Wales, UK
In the second symposium of the Centre for South-East Europe Studies at the
University of Wales, practioners of all disciplines are invited to
consider how social memory is generated, maintained/consumed and
reproduced, through texts, images, embodied experience, monuments, sites,
landscapes or other forms.
In keeping with the inter- and cross-disciplinary emphasis of the Centre,
we are keen not to reproduce stereotypical views of disciplinary concerns,
in which historians and archaeologists are said to deal with the general
and long term, and anthropologists to lack a historical sense. Rather, the
organisers are concerned to highlight the different time-depths involved
in studies of the area, and how these intersect within the lives of
people, communities and objects. What might be the relationships between
tradition, histories (textual, oral or otherwise) and memory? How are
senses of the past more generally reconciled with present-day and future
political and cultural strategies?
We are also concerned to devote part of the workshop to non-textual
strategies of remembering, telling and persuading, and the rhetoric of
vision and experience. Such visual projection includes narratives created
through monuments, the role of images and films in constructing
biographies of individuals, places, communities and nations, and the role
of material culture in shaping past and present-day realities.
If you are interested in participating please send a 300 word abstract and
a short statement of background and interests to: cssee@lamp.ac.uk or by
post or fax to the address at the bottom of this message.
