Thursday’s first panel was on the social memory of war. The researchers were looking for answers to the following questions: How can people understand the past through emotions with others\u2019 traumatic memories, artifacts, or landscapes. What are the possibilities of interpreting the affective politics of war memories, and how do individual, familial or collective memories intersect across cultures and national borders? The second panel featured presentations on video games. This panel aims to explore the various roles of video games and map the ways in which they can shape young people\u2019s perception of culture and the impact of the past in the times of crises. It will explore the issues of inclusivity, trauma and representations of war.<\/p>\n
