How do authoritarian governments impact current society and memory? How does the current economic situation impact how citizens—individuals and communities—act?

'Framing the Self: Anxieties of Identity in Modern Literature & Culture (31/1/10; 21/5/10)

updated: 
Thursday, October 15, 2009 - 11:06am
Centre for Studies in Literature, University of Portsmouth

Keynote speaker: Dr Sarah Churchwell (University of East Anglia)

Identity remains one of the most central and most contested concepts in circulation today. No individual or group can escape the question of identity in a range of categories be it gender, class, nationality or race. Yet, an understanding of one's 'self' in relation to these somewhat rigid categories is problematic and as a result representations of identity are continually plagued by an irresolvable sense of unease and anxiety.
