School of Advanced Study, University of London
SUMMER SCHOOL
MEMORY, EMPIRE AND TECHNOLOGY
29 JUNE-3 JULY 2010
Held at the School of Advanced Study and organised by the Centre for
the Study of Cultural Memory, this Summer School consists of a series
of seminars, lectures and workshops on a broad range of subjects
related to the relationship between memory and technology. The
sessions will be taught by a team of internationally renowned scholars
and range from experimental early flying to colonial memories in film,
to photography and workshops on digital archives. These sessions will
be complemented by afternoon activities centred round London
understood as technological city: the Greenwich History Project,
visits to the Stanley Kubrick Archives and the Warburg Library, and an
architectural tour on the famous Routemaster bus. This School welcomes
researchers, students, artists, archivists, conservation and heritage
professionals and any others interested in memory, technology and the
industrial legacy of London.
Deadline for Applications: 30 April 2010
