The Chair Lecture: If My Memory Serves Me Right — How Is National Memory Created?

The Cathedra Lecture: If My Memory Doesn’t Deceive Me – How Is National Memory Created? – Shahar Shaklesh – 17.5.27

National memory is shaped not only by history itself, but also by the way it is told, interpreted, and etched into consciousness. How is national memory created, and what turns a historical event into part of the collective consciousness? In this lecture, we will become familiar with the mechanisms that shape consciousness and see how a historical narrative is formed, and how film directors, politicians, leaders, and interested parties influence not only the way we remember the past, but also what will remain in the memory for generations.
