Dear Vanessa Kronjäger und Sarah Schuchter,
I would like to invite you to the First Interdisciplinary Symposium “Spaces of Memory” at the University of Vienna.
Please see the text and the link below, and find the Programme attached.
Please feel free to also forward it to your students and anyone who might be interested.
“/RaT invites you to join the first Interdisciplinary Symposium under the title Spaces of Memory. The Symposium will be held on 16 and 17 March 2023, in the Dekantssitzungssaal, University of Vienna. The Symposium forms a part of the FWF Lise Meitner Project “Reframing Space: Film as History” led by Dr. Milja Radovic. /
//
We invite researchers across the Arts and Humanities to engage in interdisciplinary thinking and knowledge exchange under the subject /Spaces of Memory/. The Symposium aims to explore the meanings and constructions of /space/ and /memory/ in contemporary culture, with film in centre focus as an axiological part of culture. We are interested in the conceptualisations of space as a site of memory in both on-screen and off-screen spaces. The goal is to gather different perspectives to assess the relationship between film, theology, philosophy, and the visual arts, promoting dialogue between academia and the film industry. The Symposium is an integral part of the FWF Project “Reframing Space: Film as History” focusing on how memory is communicated through filmic space and the ways in which history can be read via film language.
The speakers will include professors and researchers from Vienna and internationally, together with the world filmmakers. We will begin by reflecting on the meanings of memory and space, in theological, political, historical and cinematic contexts. The presentations will be followed by the Q&As and the panel discussions. The Symposium platform “In conversation with…” will host prominent filmmakers, including Andrei A. Tarkovskij and Amos Gitai, who will continue to explore the relationship between space, memory, and time. The second day will be an opportunity for a lively discussion with the filmmakers coupled with film screenings.”
