The 13th conference of the series 'Genealogies of Memory' begins today!
This year's theme is 'Pandemics, Famines, and Industrial Disasters of the 20th and 21st Centuries.'
For three days scholars from a variety of countries will discuss discourses of memory and non-remembrance of large-scale natural and human-induced disasters in Europe and beyond. The event aims to shed light on how individuals and collectives cope with the memory of traumatic large-scale events, including wars, famines, pandemics, and natural or industrial disasters.
