HISTORY IN WORDS AND IMAGES
Conference on Historical Re/Presentation
University of Turku, Finland
September 26-28, 2002
http://www.utu.fi/hum/historia/2002/
Since 1997, the Department of History and the Department of Political
History at the University of Turku have organized conferences on the
theory and methodology of history. These conferences have dealt with
the themes of memory, time, space and change and have aimed at
drawing together methodological debates. The 2002 conference
"History in Words and Images" focuses on the debate over historical
representation in recent decades. As historians have investigated
the problems involved with the narrativization of the past,
questions concerning non-literary means of representation in the
production of historical knowledge and conceptions of the past have
also come increasingly to the fore.
The lecturers of the conference include prof. Peter Aronsson
(University of Link–ping), prof. Stephen Bann (University of
Bristol), prof. Christopher Frayling (Royal College of Art, London),
prof. Harry Harootunian (New York University), prof. Maunu H”yrynen
(University of Turku), Dr. Ilona Reiners (University of Helsinki),
and prof. Gabrielle M. Spiegel (Johns Hopkins University).
The conference also has a session programme, consisting of 20 thematic
sessions with 71 speakers from 19 countries.
