Considering Hannah Arendt's reflections on historical memory from an interdisciplinary perspective, this workshop explores the reach and contemporary relevance of Arendt's strategies for narrating history in "dark times"—in the absence of continuity and in the midst of political fragmentation.   Scholars in German Studies, Philosophy, Political Theory, Jewish Studies, and Comparative Literature will discuss pre-circulated works in progress.  

Seating is limited and registration is required.  To register, please write to Humanities.Center@Dartmouth.edu. 

Organized by Michael McGillen and sponsored by the Leslie Center for the Humanities and the Department of German Studies
