DESCRIPTION
The aim of this unit is to critically examine cultural construction and consumption in relation to the idea of cultural memory. We will explore theories of memory (with a focus on the relationship of identities to memory) and apply these theories to case studies exploring film and memory, photography and memory, digital memory, Empire and slavery and memory and the Holocaust and memory. The unit will explore people's processes of identification with dominant and subaltern discourses of history, memory and the nation articulated within and by three dimensional and virtual spaces, focusing on museums, digital technologies, film and advertising.
