"Remembering by Dissolving? Memory Work and the
Blurring of Genre Boundaries": Postgrad Symposium in
Nottingham, UK, January 2007
The Nottingham Trent University invites proposals for
papers to be given at a 2-day postgraduate symposium
on the 25th and 26th of January 2007. The idea for
this symposium arose from the realisation that more
and more postgraduates across the disciplines are
working in an area loosely defined as "memory
studies". Often, however, postgraduates find
themselves crossing discipline boundaries in their
research. Indeed, the hypothesis behind the symposium
is that the interdisciplinarity of memory studies is
the inevitable result of the increasing dissolution of
boundaries between forms such as historiography,
literature, biography, autobiography and public art, a
dissolution particularly noticeable when the focus is
on the processes and character of memory.
The organisers of the symposium would welcome papers
which examine the overlapping of genres in relation to
ANY memory theme.
Please submit your proposal to Professor Bill Niven at
[log in to unmask] no later than the 10th of
November 2006.
