(Re)collections: Trauma, Collective Memory and the Archive – Part II
Panel Discussion: “Bridging Individual and Collective Memory”
Join us for part two of the two-day series for exploring, reproducing, and the possible reprogramming of the human memory.
Part II
Using our experiences in the Shoah Foundation Institute's Visual History Archive as an entry point, this panel will look at the relations between individual and collective memory. How do we understand the interactions between these components? Which one is more powerful, under which circumstances, and what mediates the two? How does this understanding shape (or is reflected by) the methodologies we employ? Our panel members will present on their own work which touches on these questions, as well as engage in an interdisciplinary discussion.
Panelists:
Dr. Dan Leshem, associate director of academic outreach and research, USC Shoah Foundation Institute
Dr. Oren Meyers, visiting professor, San Diego State University Jewish studies program; professor, University of Haifa, department of communication
Dr. Josh Kun, associate professor of communication and journalism, USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, (Joint appointment in the department of American studies and ethnicity, USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences)
Dr. Viet Nguyen, associate professor of English and American studies and ethnicity, USC
Moderator: Neta Kligler-Vilenchik, Ph.D. student, USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism
