What the Body Remembers. Dance Heritage Today Aleida Assmann und Jan Assmann: Erinnerung, Körper und Kanon
Lecture and Talk
No other scholarly work has dealt so systematically and sustainably with the topic of memory culture as that of Aleida and Jan Assmann. Both have described cultural memory as a field of collective conflict, have recognised remembering and forgetting as survival strategies, have identified the inscriptions of suppressed history in the body as trauma, and have asked about the canon of Eurocentric historiography. While Aleida Assmann queries the recording of memory in the body, Jan Assmann addresses the problem of finding a canon.
