Session Information

Intergenerational Memory Transmission: Current Interdisciplinary Challenges
The transmission of memory across generations remains central to how individuals, families, and societies understand themselves and their pasts. This session explores why memories are transmitted, what kinds of knowledge and emotions are conveyed, and how transmission changes across personal, familial, communal, and national contexts.
The panel addresses the relationship between facts and emotions, tensions between bottom-up and institutional remembrance, and the transformation of memory as living witnesses disappear. It further considers postcolonial and marginalized perspectives, literary and performative mediations of difficult pasts, and the impact of contemporary authoritarian and far-right movements on memory practices.

Chair: Olivier Luminet (UCLouvain)

Transmisión intergeneracional de la memoria: desafíos interdisciplinarios actuales
La transmisión de la memoria entre generaciones sigue siendo fundamental para comprender cómo individuos, familias y sociedades se entienden a sí mismas y a sus pasados. Esta sesión explora por qué se transmiten las memorias, qué tipos de conocimientos y emociones se comunican y cómo cambia la transmisión en contextos personales, familiares, comunitarios y nacionales.
El panel aborda la relación entre hechos y emociones, las tensiones suscitadas entre las prácticas conmemorativas originadas en ámbitos sociales o institucionales y la transformación de la memoria a medida que desaparecen los testigos directos. Asimismo, considera perspectivas poscoloniales y marginadas, mediaciones literarias y performativas de pasados difíciles, y el impacto de los movimientos autoritarios y de extrema derecha contemporáneos en las prácticas de memoria.
