We welcome presenters from any areas of the humanities and the possible fields of research may relate to:
• The role of power in constructing memory (censorship and canon/ dissent and subversion)
• Redemption as ‘citability’ of one’s own past (narratives of personal and national identities)
• Digital memory and identities (avatars, role play games, cosplay)
• Gendered memory
• Archives as repositories of memory (genealogy, journalism, new media)
• Contested memories (subalternity, gender issues)
• Memory and progress
• Performative memories (commemorations, re-enactments)
• Counterfactual memories (authentic vs fictional memory)
• History and historiography
• Anthropocene and post-human re-inscription of memory (systematic memory, automatic memory)
• Psychoanalysis (memory, trauma, remembering violence)
• Memory and the philosophical subject
• Non-verbal memory transmission (visual communication, imitation, animal behaviour)
• Translating memory
We particularly encourage papers which bring together more than one of these areas, and entail inter-disciplinary research in postgraduate work.
