HOW DO WE TELL HISTORY?
PERSONAL MEMORY, HISTORICAL TRAUMA AND LITERATURE
A conversation with authors Sacha Bronwasser and Liliana Corobca
Moderator: Aleksandar Madjarovski
History is not written only in textbooks. It lives on in family stories, personal memories, in what remains unspoken, and in traumas passed down from one generation to the next. But how does such a legacy become a literary story? And what happens when personal memory encounters the official historical narrative?
In this conversation, Sacha Bronwasser and Liliana Corobca will discuss the ways literature re-examines history, the relationship between memory and forgetting, and the possibility of using literature to give voice to historical traumas that continue to live in the present.
The conversation will be held in English and moderated by Aleksandar Madjarovski.
