In the second symposium of the Centre for South-East Europe Studies at the University of Wales, practioners of all disciplines are invited to consider how social memory is generated, maintained/consumed and reproduced, through texts, images, embodied experience, monuments, sites, landscapes or other forms.
In keeping with the inter- and cross-disciplinary emphasis of the Centre, we are keen not to reproduce stereotypical views of disciplinary concerns, in which historians and archaeologists are said to deal with the general and long term, and anthropologists to lack a historical sense.
