Sebastian Jobs
Kommentar
During the recent BLM protests Confederate monuments became a the center of criticism and resistance. While some have maintained that they ‘simply’ represented an image of Southern tradition, manly courage and valor as well as the tragedy of conflict, especially Black activists have read them as a message of conservative defiance, as a symbol of a racist past or, more pointedly, as an ongoing threat against Black political activism. In that these monuments represent a more general conflict over historical memory that constantly takes place in the. U.S. In our seminar we will explore the different layers of remembering certain elements of U.S. history while dismissing or forgetting others. Based on the assumption that historical memory is in itself highly selective we will discuss different sites and practices of memorialization as well as political and cultural claims that are attached to them.
