17-18 September 2024 | Universität der Bundeswehr München, Neubiberg
Keynote speaker: Prof. Andrea Petö (Central European University)
Narratives of violence pervade our discursive environment and manifest materially, often in normalising the narratives of violence and making them less contested, establishing hegemonic narratives and silencing others or visibly demonstrating these struggles over acknowledgment of various narratives. While narratives of violence permeate political discourse, education and commemorative events and spaces, narratives of violence also accompany our daily lives: from Stolpersteine, street names, and other practices of memorialisation to social media feeds, newspaper accounts, Hollywood movies, and inappropriate jokes.
If you are interested in presenting a paper, please submit a 300-word abstract and a short bio; if you are interested in leading a workshop, please submit a 500-word abstract outlining the workshop concept, room or equipment requirements, and a short bio. All abstracts should be sent to Kirsty Campbell (kirsty.campbell@unibw.de) by 4 April 2024 and we will send notifications of acceptance out shortly after.
