Digital Memories -This joint initiative between the Centre for Media and Culture Research (London South Bank University) and the Centre for the Study of Cultural Memory (IGRS) seeks to address the impact of globalization and digitization on the production of individual and collective memories. The seminar will open with Professor Anna Reading’s (University of Sydney) conceptualization of the notion of ‘globital memory’, which is changing the epistemology of memory, followed by an exploration of memory work in digitally networked environments. The second part of the seminar will focus on two specific case studies. The seminar is aimed at researchers, research students and those working in the broad memory studies field.
Venue: Centre for Media and Culture Research, London South Bank University, K2 Building (Room VG11), Keyworth Street, SE1 6NG
