Exile and Memory – Interdisciplinary Perspectives
September 24-29, 2017
---
In 2017 Marie Jahoda Summer School invites young scholars working on
the issue of exile and memory. The aim of the summer school is to
establish an environment for intellectually open and interdisciplinary
exchange
of research projects. Research may be related to historical experiences
of exile or to forms and types of exile in current contexts of forced
migration. We encourage in particular projects focusing on individual
or collective forms and practices of /doing memory/ and its social and
institutional conditions. This includes scientific work on artistic
forms of exile-related ‘memory work’, research on group-specific
and private memory practices and questions of intergenerational
transmission, projects on institutionalised remembrance practices
carried out in conflicting fields of tension with dominant forms of
memory and discourse (associations, archives, museums), and research
on marginalised, informal and invisible experiences of exile and memory
which may provide access to /counter memories/.
The summer school offers seminars and lectures, field trips and
workshops with researchers and practitioners. The faculty brings
together an international and multi-disciplinary faculty of
distinguished scholars: Prof. Marianne Hirsch (Columbia University,
NYC), Prof. Smain Laacher (Université de Strasbourg), Dr. Breda Gray
(University of Limerick), Dr. Marie Rodet (SOAS University of London),
Prof. András Kovács (Central European University, Budapest).
The Marie Jahoda Summer School is open to 22 young scholars, advanced
master students, PhD-candidates and early stage researchers from
humanities and social sciences. The participating PhD students are
required to present their research (PhD) projects and receive feedback
from faculty members.
Applicants shall submit a description of their research/dissertation
project (max. 2 pages) and a CV (max. 1 page) by *30 April 2017*. The
applicants will be informed of the faculty’s decision by 20 May
2017. Accepted papers need to be submitted by 15 August 2017 (maximum 7000
words).
The fee payable to those attending will be 140 Euro, and it includes
the Summer School Dinner. Travel and accommodation costs have to be
