HC 895 - Topics in Memory Studies3 credits
This course topic explores the study of public memory through a historical approach, in order to analyze issues of identity politics and political transition. Topics will analyze why certain forms of memory emerge when and where they do, and in what form (museums, postcards, annual parades, or temporary artistic spaces); including the impetus to remember, appropriate forms and technologies of memory, monuments, the production of a memorial site, and the inaugural rituals associated with its public unveiling, and the life of the “monument” or the national memory of an event, period or person. Also explored is the impact when second and subsequent generations inherit sites and public memories. Topic varies. Course may be repeated.
