Comment/Description

The lecture series focuses on different strategies to exhibit war, violence and trauma. Museums can be seen as a ‘battlefield’ where narratives reflect current societal changes and either confirm or confront public opinion and collective memory (or rather collective oblivion).

In this context public opinion/visitor perceptions (historical and current) is of special interest, but also the inherent biases of museums and the politics of display.
