| Abstract: | A tense interplay between memorialization, commemoration, and violence is active, to varying degrees, throughout Ukraine and Eastern Europe today. This interplay has been called by some a Memory War. Recently Cambridge Ukrainian Studies -- in partnership with the Cambridge-based research project Memory at War: Cultural Dynamics in Poland, Russia, and Ukraine -- invited Professor Timothy Snyder of Yale University to make sense of this Memory War from a broad conceptual, geographical, and historical perspective.
Timothy Snyder is Professor of History at Yale and the author of such prize-winning publications as The Reconstruction of Nations: Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, Belarus, 1569-1999, published by Yale in 2003, and The Red Prince: The Secret Lives of a Habsburg Archduke, published by Basic Books/Random House in 2008. His most recent book Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin, published by Basic Books/Bodley Head in 2010, has been named to over 10 Book of the Year lists. Professor Snyder spoke at Cambridge on February 10, 2011. |
