Inhalt
This lecture explores memory as a socio-cultural process that is inextricably entwined with power dynamics and a key aspect of identity formation. Rather than conceiving of memories as straightforward reflections of the past, the course will analyse how they are constructed, negotiated, and represented within specific cultural and historical contexts. The lecture will address questions such as: How do social and cultural forces shape individual and collective memories in Britain? How is memory deployed in the construction or contestation of British national identity? In what ways can the study of memory provide insights into the experiences of marginalised groups in Britain? How do various media influence the production and consumption of cultural memory? What is the relationship between memory, history, and identity in contemporary British society?
