Conference: Assassins of Memory – Political and legal problems of uncovering,

whitewashing and rewriting history; November 19, 2021

CMC continues its cooperation with the Polish Academy of Sciences in Vienna (PAN) within the project “Law and Memory” by supporting this year’s conference “Assassins of Memory – Political and legal problems of uncovering, whitewashing and rewriting history”. Information about the details of the conference can be found on the official conference page: https://lawandmemory.eu/

 

The conference “Assassins of Memory – Political and legal problems of uncovering, whitewashing and rewriting history” will provide political and legal input to the discussion of politics of history and the broader aspect of memory as an essential part of political strategic planning. The problematic aspects of individual countries’ history and the politicians’ approach to using them in public discussion are part of a particularly heated debate in contemporary Europe, where facts have to face their public reinterpretation. These practices may influence the perception of history both positively (as preserving certain inviolable facts) and negatively (whitening the history, rewriting it, highlighting only selected elements). The issue of the transitional justice will be at the center of the discussion. The conference will take place in the Scientific Centre in Vienna, Boerhaavegasse 25, 1030 Vienna. It will be livestreamed on the website: https://lawandmemory.eu/
