ABOUT CONFERENCE

​

​        How do we remember and represent our migration experiences? Who is involved in these processes? How does history remember these events? What helps migrants and societies to adapt? The significance of these and related questions have made their way into our daily lives, from the refugee crisis to policy decisions, individual psychotherapy to (re)building identities, communities, and memories.  

We warmly invite additional chapters for The Handbook of Trans Cinema, with high priority for chapters exploring transgender films from Africa, Latin America, Asia, Oceania, and Europe.

The ways in which Europe remembers its past are central to shaping its future. From the memory of the Holocaust and the Second World War to the legacies of colonialism, dictatorship, and conflict, the continent’s history remains a site of both reconciliation and contestation. This conference invites scholars to explore the role of cultural memory in shaping European identities, values, and policies. How are memories transmitted across generations? How do different national narratives interact, clash, or converge within a shared European framework? What national and transnational memory cultures are created?

In Blue Ecocriticism, Sydney I. Dobrin provocatively calls for viewing “oceanic deficit” as form of “disciplinary critique” (9) in order to open up the epistemic realm of ecocriticism which primarily deals with the representation of ecological substance in literary and cultural works.
