Call for papers deadline 30th March 2015
This year’s School of Arts & Humanities postgraduate conference seeks to explore the broad theme of cultural memory from a variety of perspectives. It invites contributions on any aspect of this theme from across the Arts & Humanities community. Proposals from Masters & Research Postgraduate Students are equally welcome. The organising Committee are also keen to hear from practitioners who could provide a creative response to the theme.
The conference seeks to explore key questions relating to the broad theme of memory, such as:

• How can we historicise memory?
• How do digital forms of record keeping impact on cultural memory?
• How is cultural memory constructed & mediated through art & language?

Topics may include (but are in no way limited to):

• Community memory
• Constructing cultural narratives
• Cultural memory & mass media
• Cultural memory in translation
• Cultural memory of language
• Evidence & testimony
• Folklore & storytelling
• Memory as an historical problem
• Memory, media & cultural mediation
• Myth & identity
• Oral history
• Remembrance & tradition
• Theories of memory
• Trauma & mass atrocities.

Please submit proposals of c. 250 words by Monday 30th of March 2015 to the Organising Committee at ahpgconf@stir.ac.uk with “Conference 2015 Abstract” in the subject line.
