There is still time to submit a proposal for the annual conference of the Memory Studies Association, to be held from July 14 to 18 2025 at Charles University and the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague.
Deadline for submissions is October 20.
With the theme Beyond Crises: Resilience and (In)stability, the conference seeks to explore how the memory of critical events and turning points “has led to new tensions but also generated new possibilities. What patterns of decisive change can we observe? What is the role of memory in these processes, and how have they been commemorated? How have such critical turning points and their actors been collectively remembered and commemorated? And what can memory teach us amid the ongoing polycrisis?”
It invites “a multifaceted discussion on what memory scholars can learn from the memory of earlier crises and how that knowledge might be used to deal with ongoing political and social standoffs. Looking at shared and divided memoryscapes and the voices of marginalized communities, the conference will make a major contribution to the understanding of how societies remember and learn from crises.”
