Call for Participation

The conference seeks to bring together multidisciplinary perspectives in a discourse on contained memory. By encompassing a wide variety of ways of conceiving memory through different cultural and theoretical orientations and disciplinary backgrounds, it is hoped this conference can build a nexus of contained memories.

Possible Contained Memory sessions: The Land / Earth / Landscape, Containing public memory, Rituals of memory, Site / Space / Time, Memory and the senses / Autobiography, The human mind.

Because of the geographic location of the conference it is envisaged that some papers will respond to contained memory in Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific.

Call for abstracts

The call for abstracts is now over. We received many more proposals for papers than the conference schedule can accommodate. The selected papers represent a wide spread of disciplinary perspectives from around the world and all augurs well for a very stimulating multidisciplinary, international dialogue centred around contained memory. The organising committee would like to sincerely thank all those who submitted abstracts.
