Debatten und Positionen zur Erinnerungskultur mit Prof. Dr. Andreas Fickers: „Digital Public History“

In the organizer's words:

Today, history can be documented in real time thanks to digital possibilities. But what impact does this have on the creation of archives and what challenges does this pose for academia? Prof. Dr. Andreas Fickers focuses on so-called "living archives": To what extent can such initiatives be understood as interfaces between history and memory? And how does the ephemeral nature of digital sources affect remembering, forgetting and our general understanding of time?

All interested parties are welcome, no prior knowledge required.
