Description
In a time of global migrations after twentieth-century wars, how does cultural memory strengthen or undermine social and political cohesion?
The points of departure for this panel are two books: Memories and Representations of War: The Case of World War I and World War II, edited by Elena Lamberti and Vita Fortunati, (New York/Amsterdam: Rodopi, 2009); and Memory and Migration–Multidisciplinary Approaches to Memory Studies, edited by Julia Creet and Andreas Kitzmann, (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, forthcoming Sept. 2010). Both collections of essays explore the complex cultural identity/ies of Canada and the European Union and the bonds between the two political entities through individual, institutional and artistic expressions of cultural memory.
