Comment/Description

This course discusses memory as a cultural practice from a postmigration perspective with a particular focus on young generations in Germany, with a migration history from Turkey. Drawing upon the definition of cultural memory as “the interplay of present and past in socio-cultural contexts” (Erll 2010), the course aims to open a space for a collective scrutinization of how younger generations deal with their migration history in relation to their current experiences in society through different media, spaces and forms of cultural practices such as online archival projects, films, biographies, music etc. The course will provide an introductory theoretical discussion of concepts such as cultural memory, collective memory, acts of 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.
