Proposal Deadline: 15.09.2018
Diverging forces across European societies - most visible in both the
contemporary nationalist movements and Islamist radicalization - place
particular relevance on social and cultural inclusion. Culture may cultivate
both integrative and disruptive forces; in this light heritage experts, policy
makers, social entrepreneurs, and other facilitators are seeking to establish
inclusive memory politics for envisioning possible futures of how we should
remember our past in Europe. The recognition of "difficult" and dissonant
traditions and the contestation of public memory in respect to the
representation of colonial traditions and immigration, multiculturalism and
transnational history, non-Christian religious heritages in European
societies, female heritages, or the inclusion of deprived groups are important
issues in this debate. Being part of the public memory is crucial for
envisioning positive futures, acknowledging people's and groups' history,
identity, belonging, and membership. Furthermore, questions of eligibility
play an important role in relation to public support or redemption, for
partaking in economic outcomes, or in relation to questions on ownership of
cultural heritage resources
However, the participatory turn in memory work, essential for a socially
inclusive public memory, turns out to be not as easy to implement in practice.
Aside from the established memory institutions, people and groups explore
Internet platforms for commemoration and sharing personal texts, photos, or
videos and collaboratively contribute to an emergence of open access
"archives" of everyday life. The diverse platforms, e.g. YouTube, Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc., broadly attract people and groups for
contributing cultural materials, articulating their views of history/histories
and enfolding personal and group-related memory practices. Even though they
are public, these Internet "archives" are beyond the scope of public memory
politics and institutions; they are run for economic purposes in private
ownership. The accessibility of these "archives" is regulated by business
models and remains unclear towards the future. Connecting personal and
group-related memory work in the public to participatory memory politics is
thus confronted with legal and economic obstacles, ethical issues, as well as
with discontinuities and gaps of individual and institutional social practices
of memory work. This highlights the changed technical, organizational, and
legal modalities of doing participatory memory work for social inclusive
memory politics [...].
