Students consider survivor testimony, fiction, film, public histories, the memory and memorialisation of the Holocaust in Germany, the transition of the Holocaust from ‘lived memory’ into history and the globalisation and commodification of the Holocaust. On this foundation, the pathway continues by developing a detailed investigation of Holocaust Memory. You will study concepts of individual, collective, transgenerational and multidirectional memory, the contested nature of shared memory, and how the ‘memory boom’ of recent decades is big business, a new field of academic inquiry and central to struggles for social justice. Students build a strong repertoire of analytical skills for understanding the importance of cultural memory today. The two-semester pathway introduces cultural memory theories and practices by engaging a wide range of sites, contexts, forms and media.

#MEMORY MASTER SOCIAL STUDY 1 PROFESSIONAL#
We offer flexible modes of study for students with personal or professional commitments. Making Histories: Public History and Heritage.
The course has three pathways, each of which explores a particular field with a distinctive thematic and methodological focus. Your lecturers have expertise across cultural, social and political history, cultural, literary, film and visual studies, and the history of ideas – and we take an interdisciplinary approach. Topics range from oral history and digital media to the contested memorial landscape and struggles for social justice. Our programme will equip you with the analytical, critical and practical skills needed to make new historical accounts and representations, and to investigate a variety of cultural forms and practices in a global context. On this MA you will examine how cultural constructions of history and memory are fundamental forces in shaping contemporary life.
