PY1091 Introduction to Memory Studies
CM1091 Memory Lab
CM3037 Museum as Medium

Visit sites of social and public memory, with particular attention to the public display and
representation of traumatic historical events within museums, memorials and monuments.
The trip to Warsaw, Treblinka and Otwock addresses issues of social construction and how
the processes of memorialization and 鈥渕useumification鈥� following mass atrocity create
possible sites of restorative justice and collective witnessing. The Shoah serves as the point
of reflection on how memory is materialized and put into social practice. Investigate
鈥渉istory tourism鈥� while exploring the meaning and the 鈥渓ived experience鈥� offered by
historical sites and museums for visitors. How is history told and displayed and to what
end? What effect do these representations (and preservations) have on the personal
meaning of history? Why are sites of destruction increasingly popular tourist destinations?
What does it mean to 鈥渂ear witness鈥� today?
