*****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
eproduced, 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:

or by post or fax to the address at the bottom of this message.
