»Terrortimes – Terrorscapes?« Tagung an der Akademie Tutzing, 1.-4. Aug. 2014

Vom 1. bis 4. August 2014 findet an der Akademie für Politische Bildung Tutzing in Kooperation mit der Arizona State University eine Sommerakademie statt, die die Frage nach räumlichen und zeitlichen Kontinuitäten und Diskontinuitäten in den Gewaltexzessen des 20. Jahrhunderts stellt.

Terrortimes, Terrorscapes? Temporal, Spatial and Memory Continuities of War and Genocide in 20th Century Europe

Anmeldeschluss ist der 27. Juli 2014. Im Ankündigungstext der Veranstalter heißt es:

»2014 marks the centenary of the beginning of the Great War and the 75th anniversary of Germany’s attack on Poland in 1939. This calls us to explore temporal and spatial continuities between the diverse horrors of war and genocide in the first half of the 20th century as well as investigate diverse forms of memory and memorialization of atrocity. Furthermore, the conference seeks to include transnational perspectives by inviting scholars from different national backgrounds working in Europe and the US as well as providing explicitly transnational perspectives. As such key concepts like temporal continuities of war and atrocity, colonial and decolonization violence, spatial approaches to define violence as well as gender and generational memory of war and atrocity are to be explored in this conference.«
