European University at St Petersburg lectures
The European University at St Petersburg presents a series of lectures entitled Don’t forget to remember, focusing on the study of the politics of memory in a variety of aspects. How does information pass from generation to generation through scholarship and folklore, how and for what purpose were the monuments of the Soviet period built, what is happening to monuments in the USA, and how do monuments reflect the periods in which they were built. The lecturers will cover issues ranging from the regeneration of authoritarian regimes to sensory memory and unique religious discourse.
The lecture series will feature leading specialists and professors from the University, who will show the latest results of studies in the fields of history, anthropology, political studies and art history.
