Moving Cultures, Shifting Identities: a conference about migration, connection, heritage and cultural memory. This conference will examine issues of migration, transnational connection, displacement heritage, global space and cultural memory created by the movements of peoples between cultures in the modern world. For more information, visit the conference site.
In association with the Moving Cultures, Shifting Identities conference, the Flinders Humanities Research Centre presents a masterclass with Dr Susannah Radstone:
Memory/Nation/Culture.
Thursday, 6 December 2007, 9.00 a.m. - 1.00 p.m. Maximum number of participants: 15.
How do film, literature and other media ‘remember’ national pasts? Over the last fifteen years or so, theories of cultural memory and trauma have had a profound impact across the humanities, encouraging researchers at all levels to approach novels, films and television as ‘memory media’. The same period has witnessed the production of a wide range of films, novels and other art forms whose concerns are with recent - and not so recent - national pasts, including W G Sebald’s Austerlitz and Kate Grenville’s The Secret River, and the films Amistad and Rabbit Proof Fence. Such texts have become the primary sources for many studies of cultural, literary and film memory. But how do theories of trauma and cultural memory help us to engage with national literatures and cinemas and what are the most useful methods for the analysis of memory media?
Susannah Radstone is Reader in the School of Social Sciences, Media and Cultural Studies at the University of East London. She writes on cultural theory, particularly on psychoanalysis and memory and on contemporary film and literature. Recent publications include (ed. with C. Bainbridge et al.) Culture and the Unconscious, Palgrave, 2007; (ed. with Perri 6 et al.) Public Emotions, Palgrave 2007; The Politics of Memory: Contested Pasts and Memory Cultures (both ed. with Katharine Hodgkin), Transaction 2005; Memory and Methodology (ed.), Berg, 2000. Forthcoming books include On Memory and Confession: The Sexual Politics of Time, Routledge, and Mapping Memory (ed. with Bill Schwarz), Fordham University Press.

The Screen & Media Department has been lent a Dome setup by ANAT (Australian Network for Art and Technology) for four weeks. Consisting of a portable dome shaped structure and a mirror set-up which facilitates the projection of still and moving images, the Dome is a novel and spectacular screening environment, usually only seen in Planetaria and Natural History Museums.
This is a unique opportunity for the Screen & Media Department to trial this technology, demonstrating it to students and exploring research opportunities. We believe it is also a perfect opportunity to initiate discussions with other Schools and Faculties across the University, about possible research and other collaborations, particularly given we have dome-specific expertise on our staff.
To this end, the Screen & Media Department is hosting a symposium on Experiential Media at Flinders on the afternoon of 28th May, with the intention of pursuing research linkages and networking opportunities within and across faculties at Flinders.
