Friday, November 8 and Saturday, November 9, 2024 Dartmouth Hall 104

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. Friday, November 8, 2024 8:45 a.m.-5:00 p.m. and Saturday, November 9, 2024 8:30 a.m.-2:15 p.m.

Scholars in German Studies, Philosophy, Political Theory, Jewish Studies, and Comparative Literature will discuss pre-circulated works in progress.

Registration is required. Please write to Humanities.Center@Dartmouth.edu to register.
