Long abstract:
Digital media ecologies open-up publics for articulations of people and groups
beyond the established institutions. They promise to break with traditional
knowledge hierarchies by providing new modes of participation and publicness.
However, participatory memory making for people and groups in vulnerable
social situations did not emerge by itself through the re-mediation of
memories, which emerges from digitalization with its particular capacity for
representing, sharing and sustaining knowledge (including emotional, practical
and tacit knowing). Being aware of the fact that culture may cultivate
integrative or disruptive forces, establishing inclusive politics of heritage
for envisioning possible futures has become a key issue in memory making.
Building on the rich knowledge on participation in memory making, we thus want
to move on and explore the wide array of modalities, in which mediated
memories contribute to opening-up established knowledge orders in public
memory.
This panel invites contributions on how memory modalities open-up established
knowledge orders and foster social inclusive, future envisioning memory
making. We seek to discover and inquire which organisational settings,
discourses, business models and finances, cultural economies, legal frameworks
or potential other modalities facilitate accessibility, agency and motivation
of people and groups to partake in public memory making. Being part of the
public memory is important for envisioning positive possible futures
acknowledging people's and groups' history, identity, belonging, and
membership, in questions of eligibility for public support or redemption, for
partaking in economic outcomes or questions of ownership of cultural heritage
resources.
We are looking forward to your contributions!
Best wishes on behalf of the convenors,
Gertraud Koch, Maria Economou, Isto Huvila, Samantha Lutz
