This Brown Bag Lunch features Dr. Nigel Young, Editor of the Oxford International Encyclopedia of World Peace, and will explore the implication for memory work in the US and other parts of the globe and will also look at how it integrates with peace and conflict research.
There is a shift in European memory work from nationalist to transnational memory work -- universalized, redemptive and demilitarizing -- this reflects a more nuanced, positive analysis of memory making than the post Balkan deconstructive work on myths and nationalist memory -- and is drawn towards a transcendent regional memory post European wars and holocaust and post 1989 cold war. The word inventing is provocative -- it is more a making of memory that has its roots in early 20th centry Modernist and anti-war responses to cataclysm.
