Weimar Seminar Unpacks Germany’s Culture of Remembrance and Memory Politics
A new seminar in Weimar is set to explore Germany’s complex culture of memories. The event, hosted on Eventbrite, will delve into the political and social layers of remembrance, examining how the past shapes democracy and cohesion today. Weimar, a city steeped in German history, provides a fitting backdrop for these discussions.
The seminar will tackle key questions about remembrance culture and its relationship with memory politics. Participants will debate whether the two concepts differ—or overlap—in shaping public consciousness. Workshops, discussions, and excursions will form part of the programme, offering different ways to engage with the topic.
The Weimar seminar brings together historians, activists, and the public to reflect on Germany’s past and its present impact. By examining memories through multiple lenses, the main event aims to deepen understanding of how remembrance shapes society. The discussions will build on decades of work by survivors, scholars, and advocacy groups.
