DESCRIPTION:How individuals cope with the memory of traumatic large-scale e
	vents (such as wars\, famines\, pandemics\, natural or industrial disaster
	s) is of great interest to social sciences such as psychology\, psychotrau
	matology or sociology. Since the Great War and what was then described as 
	’shell shock’\, i.e. an individual’s bodily response to trauma – better kn
	own today as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) – the study of trauma h
	as developed significantly. But how are the memory and reality of dramatic
	 past events experienced and worked through at a collective level\, includ
	ing those that are direct consequences of armed conflicts or violent revol
	utions? \nThe aim of the conference – carried out as part of the 13th edit
	ion of the Genealogies of Memory project – will be an attempt at drawing a
	ttention to the discourses of memory and non-remembrance of large-scale na
	tural and human induced disasters in 20th-century Europe. We want to bring
	 to the fore the perspective of diverse social actors – both individual an
	d collective\, thus thematising the presence of such events in both indivi
	dual (family)\, regional and collective memory\, for which an important ar
	ea of expression were changing public narratives (of both authoritarian an
	d communist\, as well as democratic governments of 20th-century Europe) as
	 well as popular ones\, present particularly in cultural texts (film\, lit
	erature\, etc.). We are also interested in reflecting on the presence of t
	his issue in the contemporary public space – material and artistic (monume
	nts\, memorials\, exhibitions\, etc.) as well as discursive.
