Pathways to Agonism: Testing New Approaches to Managing Memory for Peacekeeping in Disputed Territories

Activity: Public, Community and School Engagement › Public talk, lecture, debate, seminar, workshop

Description

This paper draws on the RISE H2020-funded 'Disputed Territories and Memory' (DisTerrMem) project and explores how an agonistic memory framework inspired
by the writings of Chantal Mouffe (2005) and Cento Bull and Hansen (2016) can contribute to maintaining, supporting, and developing non-conflictual memory practices aimed at peacekeeping in former and present-day disputed territories in Eastern and Central Europe, the Caucasus region, and South-Asia. It tests practical applications of the concept of agonistic memory as a means of managing competing memories in lesser-studied geographical areas plagued by recent or even ongoing armed conflicts and experiences of autocracy.
