Gedächtnisakademie (2020-2023)
The project “Arts of Memory”, which explores the historical arts of memory as transtemporal and transcultural modes of community building, has become a hub for other projects at the Cluster that are interested in questions of memory, materiality, text-image-relations and assemblage as a critical concept. Members of these projects have gathered for a series of meetings, in particular in the year 2021, to present and discuss their respective work and address overarching questions, at times involving external speakers such as Johanna Abel (Leibniz-Zentrum für Literaturforschung) and Christian Kiening (Universität Zürich). From 2022 onwards, members of the group have focused on convening a series of workshops, which typically involved several members of the “Gedächtnisakademie”. These workshops included “Illustration and the Arts of Memory” (2022), “Cultivating the Page” (2022), “Das abjekte Bild: Affektive Bildlichkeit zwischen den Medien in der Frühen Neuzeit” (2023) and “Libraries in Exile: Old Books, New Homes” (2023).
