📄 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.
Next time you walk past the bust, ask yourself: What stories are we telling—and which ones are we leaving out?

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.
„Wehrt Euch!“ - Public lecture by Dr Kristine von Soden (Schwerin) today in Greifswald.
Topic: The rise of seaside anti-Semitism on the Baltic Sea in Wilhelmine Germany.
All interested parties are welcome!

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

Monday: "Introduction to #UsesofthePast, #HistoricalConsciousness and #MemoryCulture" and "Expansion, #Resources and #IndigenousPeoples in a #HistoricalPerspective" in a combined lecture.
Tuesday: "#Uses of Myth and History in #Antiquity"
