Prof. Amos Megged (University of Haifa)
The course will provide students with an understanding of the role played by memory and concept of time in the formulation of historical narratives. Students will be presented with a range of questions pertinent to the discipline of Historical Studies as well as some of the cultural and philosophical concerns that underpin cultures and societies across the globe: What is memory? How is memory connected to remembering (and forgetting)? What are the different modes of remembering and transmitting historical knowledge that societies have developed?
