‘Early Modern Memory Practices and the Making of Community’ is a two-day symposium taking place at Newcastle University on Friday 7th – Saturday 8th of June, 2013.
Here we will explore the ways in which early modern memory is embedded in different cultural practices (oral records, memorials to the dead, clothing, histories of the nation and lineage) and how these shape ideas of community. Additional events will include a film screening, and an opportunity for postgraduate and early career researchers to discuss the future of memory studies.
This symposium is part of a series of events investigating memory and community in early modern Britain and is funded by the AHRC. For more information on other events in this series, see the network home page:
