Regularly-scheduled colloquia begin at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesdays
and are held in the MARIAL Seminar room.
Fall 2001
Colloquia Series Theme:
BURDENS OF MEMORY
In recent years, the dynamics of memory have
emerged as a pervasive concern across the human sciences.
During Fall 2001, the MARIAL Center colloquium series explores
intersections of personal and collective memory, with particular
attention to remembrance within families of the American South.
To what extent have the historical legacies of “southern
experience”-- including slavery, the Civil War, agrarian
transformation, segregation, racial violence and liberation
struggles--generated atypical or unique modes of historical
and familial memory? To what extent do these local configurations
of “pastness” cast light on operations of memory
elsewhere in the world? Speakers will address the ritual and
narrative production and negotiation of memory in diverse
institutional settings -- including civil war re-enactment
groups, religious campgrounds, Native American reservations,
family homes, cityscapes and factories –and in varied
media, including language, sculpture, photography, and architecture.
