The Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures presents a talk with Diefenbaker Chair Prof. Dr. Werner Nell (MLU Halle-Wittenberg/Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s 카지노게임사이트):

Preserving Memory in View of Diverse Historic Narratives?
The reception of Michael Rothberg카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Multidirectional Memory in contemporary German discourse on Holocaust memory.

The German translation of Michael Rothberg카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Multidirectional Memory: Remembering the Holocaust in the Age of Decolonization (2009) was published in 2021. The translation brought the extensive discussion of Rothberg카지노 게임 컬렉션™s study of essayistic and autobiographical texts into the German-speaking context. In Germany, a discussion ensued that reveals the relevance and specificities of Holocaust memory in German academic and public discourses in general and with respect to the reception of Rothberg카지노 게임 컬렉션™s book in particular. The talk examines the specific challenges of Rothberg카지노 게임 컬렉션™s claims in the context of Germany카지노 게임 컬렉션™s multi-layered societies: The post-colonial challenges discussed in Multidirectional Memory are informative for an ongoing importance of Holocaust memory in a society that includes various groups of migrants and complex Jewish-Muslim relations.
