Trajectories of Memory: Intergenerational Representation of the Holocaust in History and the Arts, March 23-26, 2006
Conference Organizers: Dr. Christina Guenther & Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle
We invite scholars across academic disciplines(history, literature, visual arts, political science, religious studies, philosophy, psychology and sociology) to present new research on explorations of the effect of the Holocaust on the present and on the way in which the present understands, defines, and/or represents that past.
Possible questions to consider would include: the evolution of the Holocaust as discourse; how does one negotiate the language of the Holocaust as survivors die, leaving future generations responsible for the vocalization of their memories; what are the limits of acceptable discourse when discussing the Shoah? How do survivors of perpetrators and bystanders navigate through feelings of guilt and responsibility? How do survivors talk to each other and how do they talk to their children?
Keynote speakers: Professor Marianne Hirsch (Comparative Literature and Professor Leo Spitzer (History), Columbia University and Professor Atina Grossmann (History)Cooper Union, New York University
