The Human Science Doctoral Student course: Monuments, visual representations, and spaces of dark heritage, 3 credits, in the University of Oulu, 12. – 16. August 2019.
The course outlines international dark heritage scholarship, focusing especially on memorialization of civil wars, places of atrocities and other painful and traumatic sites. The course will focus on memorialization of civil wars, like in Ireland, the USA and Finland, sites of colonial atrocities towards indigenous people in Australia, and sites of ethnic violence at the end of 19th and 20th centuries. The course will focus on different kind of memorials and other visual materials and representations, for example photographs, of these sites and people; how memorials and photographs visualize the memory of the painful incidents that occurred in the places. This course is interested in the intersection of what we consider dark heritage, what is remembered (and what is forgotten, or even silenced) and how they are remembered in terms of how they link to wider identity issues of race, class and gender.
This course will be the fourth Doctoral Student course, which archaeology and cultural anthropology have organized since 2016.
