REMINDER: The organizers welcome panel/paper proposals for the conference Old Conflicts & New Media: Commemorating the Socialist Experience Online. DEADLINE: 28.01.2011.
Location: Solstrand/Bergen, Norway

Hosted by the team of the HERA-funded project Web Wars, Old Conflicts & New Media takes the emerging field of online memory studies to post-Soviet space. In the 2000s, former Soviet states still face the challenge of constructing national identities, producing national memories, and relating to the Soviet legacy. Their pasts are principally intertwined: changing readings of history in one country generate fierce reactions in others. In this transnational memory war, digital media form a pivotal discursive space - one which provides speakers with radically new commemorative tools. This conference unlocks the online vectors of post-Soviet memory by uniting leading scholars and practitioners in the field.
