The 13th conference of the series 'Genealogies of Memory'! This year's theme was 'Pandemics, Famines, and Industrial Disasters of the 20th and 21st Centuries.'
For three days scholars from a variety of countries discussed discourses of memory and non-remembrance of large-scale natural and human-induced disasters in Europe and beyond.
The event aimed to shed light on how individuals and collectives cope with the memory of traumatic large-scale events, including wars, famines, pandemics, and natural or industrial disasters.
The core idea of 'Genealogies of Memory' is to facilitate academic exchange among Central and East European scholars of individual and collective memory, with the intention of promoting the study of memory in this region within the broader international academic community.
