Evocative Memories: Media, Materiality, Affect

SWWDTP Memory Studies Research Cluster

The Memory Studies Research Cluster is delighted to welcome you to its 2022 symposium on the themes of memory, media, materiality and affect

University of Exeter

Memory is both evoked – by things, places, people, words, images, events – and evocative in its own right, prompting thoughts and feelings that may connect or distance us from the past. Everyday objects and material culture play a vital role in triggering and expressing memories, and reveal, as Sherry Turkle (2007) puts it, the intensity of our connection to the world of things - but how does this work and what are the processes involved? How is memory mediated through material (and non-material) forms, spaces and times? And what are the feelings, emotions and affects that engender memory and are in turn evoked by it? The Memory Studies Research Cluster, a cross-disciplinary research cluster of the South West and Wales Doctoral Training Partnership, is delighted to welcome you to its 2022 symposium which will host national and international researchers committed in investigating critically the themes of memory, media, materiality and affect. Confirmed keynotes: Marianne Hirsch, Marcelo Brodsky, Maryam Wahid.The symposium will run as a hybrid event, welcoming people both online and in-person at the University of Exeter on May 26-27th, 2022.
