In Germany remembrance of the Nazism-period plays a key role in the culture of remembrance. This seminar gives a brief introduction to this topic and the ways of remembrance (“’museumification” & “monument-mania”) in this country. We will start this course with the visit of the historical site and memorial “Haus Schwarzenberg” in the former Jewish quarter and the Museum of Anne Frank.
But how is remembrance made e.g. in Africa? This should be an initial point to start an exchange and discussion about different cultures of remembrance in the countries of origin of the participants. Possible topics include various forms and ways of remembrance, how memories are shared to the next generations, which historical events are transferred to the collective memories and how it´s possible to make invisible perspectives visible within a community.
