Kommentar/Beschreibung

In this course, we will be working on memory as a cultural practice with a particular focus on migration processes. As we look closer to the question of how migration has been remembered (or forgotten), the postmigration perspective, which has been prominent regarding critical reflexive research on migration in the German speaking context in the last decades, will guide our analysis.
Empirical materials of the course have a particular focus on young generations in Germany with migration history in their families. Drawing upon the definition of cultural memory as “the interplay of present and past in socio-cultural contexts” (Erll 2010), this course aims to open space for a collective scrutinization of cultural practices of remembering migration, social inequality and otherness in relation to current senses and definitions of belonging in society.
The course will provide an introductory theoretical discussion of concepts such as cultural memory, collective memory as well as postmigration as a new perspective in analyzing the current complexities of immigration societies. Examples such as collective memory projects, autosociobiographical texts and documentaries will be used as course materials for a deeper exploration of configurations of cultural memory in postmigrant settings.
Course readings/empirical materials are in English and in German. Discussions are also open to bilingual participation. All participants are expected to read the assigned texts for each block session and take actively part during the course sessions.
