📄 New publication:
In his article ‘Weltmeister des Vergessens’ published in the journal MERKUR, William C. Donahue reflects on American #exceptionalism and ponders whether our perspective on American memory culture needs readjustment. #MemoryCulture, he argues, is also a culture of forgetting.

📅 CONFERENCE: 8–9 May
Cultures of Memory, Amnesia and Misprision: Germany, the US and Beyond

Does #MemoryCulture promote a healthy #democracy? Can the USA learn from Germany’s experience of “working off” the Nazi past? This conference takes a comparative perspective on practices of commemorating.

Graphic featuring a quote from Silja Vöneky's text on a green background with a bold orange arrow symbol in the top left. To the right, large white serif text reads: ‘If we don't speak uo, it will remain unchallenged and no one else will speak up.’. Beneath the quote, in smaller white text aligned to the right, is the attribution: ‘Rüdiger Wolfrum’.

How diverse the approaches to commemorating historical injustices can be became evident in the conference ‘Cultures of Memory, Amnesia and Misprision’ last week. Scholars, journalists and other professionals elucidated various facets of #memoryculture in the USA and Germany.
