CASCA2014 CFP: Un-settled Histories, Certain Remembrances, Uncertain Futures: Power of/ over the Past

Un-settled Histories, Certain Remembrances, Uncertain Futures: Power
of/ over the Past

The panel raises a number of questions pertaining to unsettled pasts,
when the present might be fearful, and the future uncertain. The
focus is on three main themes: a. how radical transformations reshape
how the past is remembered, especially when lives and livelihoods
have been unsettled by more powerful actors; b) the interplay between
the private and public constructions of the past; c) the importance of
power structures and the political context in understanding how
memories/histories are produced and received.

The panel is seeking two more faculty members as presenters and/or
discussant.
Deadline February 10, 2014
