The conference asks how transmission happens\, through family storytelling\, commemorati ve practices\, education\, museums\, archives and digital media\, and how trauma disrupts and reshapes that process.\n\nCentral and Eastern Europe\, marked by twentieth-century wars\, genocides\, forced displacements and p olitical repression\, provides the conference's main geographical focus\, examined comparatively alongside traumatic histories from other world regi ons.\n\nDiscussions will be organised around four themes: the processes an d patterns of transgenerational trauma transmission\; hegemonic narratives of trauma alongside counter-memories and dialogic practices\; artistic an d reconstructive forms of memory work\, including postmemory and archival engagement\; and the digital mediation of trauma\, from polarisation and e cho chambers to new possibilities for personal and interconnected storytel ling.\n\nThe programme features a keynote by Marianne Hirsch (Columbia Uni versity) and Leo Spitzer (Dartmouth College)\, nine thematic panels\, a ro undtable discussion\, and a guided tour of memory sites in Iași.\n\nPartic ipation is free of charge\, but registration is required.\n\nOrganised by the European Network Remembrance and Solidarity (ENRS)\, Alexandru Ioan Cu za University of Iași\, and the National Institute for the Study of Totali tarianism of the Romanian Academy.
