Political Memory and its Archives: Symposium

How is political memory layered, recorded and reconfigured? This symposium considers some of political memory’s many archives, in the literal and the figurative senses, and explores the traces left by exile, displacement, war and political struggle.

The symposium has been conceived as a platform for interdisciplinary discussion and features 30-minute talks on political history’s intersections with archives, memory, film, literature and the visual arts.

Speakers:

• Dr Lauren Arrington (Centre for Irish Studies, University of Liverpool)
• Professor Max Silverman (Department of French, University of Leeds)
• Kate Sweeney (visual artist, University of Newcastle)
• Dr Clare Tebbutt (Department of History, University of York)
• Professor Michael White (Department of History of Art, University of York)
