 Welcome to Madrid and to the Third Annual
Conference of the Memory Studies Association!

After the founding conference in Amsterdam in December 2016, the MSA’s “legal
birth” on 26 June 2017, and the successful Copenhagen conference in December
2017, lots of things have happened. In the last 18 months, we have continued
working to make the MSA into a hub for the rapidly growing and interdisciplinary field
of memory studies:

• We further expanded the webpage as a place to find the information you need
–on academic literature, jobs, conferences, career advice, lecture recordings,
teaching practices, a members’ directory and more.

• In addition to the partnership agreement with the Memory Studies journal and
Sage Publications, which gives free access to the journal for all of our members,
we launched the “first book in memory studies” and “best paper presented
at the MSA” awards. This year’s book award will be presented during the
conference.

• Starting with our issue on “Memory of Joy” in January 2019, the MSA will
edit one issue of Memory Studies per year. Each will bring highlights from the
conference and provide an overview of what is happening in the association.

• In early 2018, we kicked off our Mentorship Program to provide assistance

to junior memory scholars (and those who would like to move into practice-
oriented fields) by matching them with more experienced colleagues. There
will be a mentor’s breakfast on June 27 at 8:00. Please stop by or email info@
memorystudiesassociation.org to learn more about the program.

• Many of you have been active in setting up and joining more than twenty
working groups and regional groups that facilitate collaboration and scholarly
exchange on specific topics or specific geographical areas within memory

studies. We provided them with space on our website, a grant program so that
working groups can organize their own events, and more. Here in Madrid, a
number of working and regional groups have submitted their own panel streams
and organised workshops on June 25th. Join one by going to our website and
meet like-minded colleagues for coffee on June 27 at 11:15 (more details later
in the program)!

• In addition to our large annual conference, some regional meetings are in the
works. For instance the MSA Africa regional group will hold its first conference
on October 17-19, 2019 at the University of Pretoria in South Africa.

• We organized a methodology workshop and fifteen masterclasses on various

methods taught by experts on June 25. Most of them were booked up so
quickly that we know there is a demand for more methodological training. We
are planning more offerings for future conferences and a working group on
methodology is in formation.

• In order to expand the number of excellent publishing outlets in the field, we

started the MSA Berghahn Books Series Worlds of Memory. Come to the official
launch on June 26 at 10:00 after the Publishing Roundtable and consider us for
your next book!

The MSA is still a project-in-the-making and staffed entirely by volunteers. So we

hope that many of you will get involved in shaping this new organization over the
coming years. We continue to envision the association as an inclusive network where
scholars and practitioners, people who are junior and more senior, and researchers of
different regions and approaches can meet, exchange ideas and feel equally at home.
We hope that the MSA will become the organization able to represent your interests
as the memory field is further institutionalized under the challenging conditions of
academic life in the twenty-first century.

Our conference program promises to provide many engaging discussions and

opportunities for meeting like-minded scholars and practitioners in the field of
remembrance. After the successful Amsterdam and Copenhagen conferences, it
was clear that there was a demand for more opportunities for memory scholars and
practitioners to gather. Nonetheless, we were overwhelmed by the extraordinary
response we received to our Call for Papers for 2019. This year’s conference will bring
over 1500 participants to Madrid –almost three times more than to Copenhagen!
This created a number of logistical challenges but also provided certainty that the
MSA is needed.

Given the positive feedback from previous years, we have designed the panels in a
way that encourages lively exchanges –many of them with shorter presentations and
more time for debate. We have organized events to address professional development
questions faced by memory scholars: publishing, pedagogy, and methodology. We have
assembled roundtables that bring together many of the most exciting personalities in
memory studies to debate pressing questions of theoretical innovation, real-world
impact, and the future of our field. And we have built in lots of opportunities to meet

 Welcome

informally, over coffee, lunch, movies, exhibitions and dinner.

We wish everyone a fruitful conference and a lovely time in Madrid with old and new
friends! After months of electronic communication, we look forward to meeting all of
you in person! And we hope to see you again at the fourth conference of the Memory
Studies Association in Charlottesville in June 2020! Watch our website for our Call for
Papers and the opening of the submission system in August 2019.

Please get involved in the MSA and let us know what you would like to see done:
email us, talk to us, or most importantly, please join us for the official MSA members’
meeting on June 28 at 9:00!

III Annual Memory Studies Association Conference 7

 Greetings from the MSA2019
Local Organizing Committee!

We would like to warmly welcome all MSA2019 participants to Madrid. When

over a year ago MSA asked us to organize the third conference of the association
in June 2019, we were thrilled at the prospect of bringing such an exciting event
and hundreds of memory scholars to our city, but we surely never expected the
scale and complexity this was going to take. Step by step we have been involved in
the challenging endeavor of organizing the largest conference ever held in the field
of memory studies while disposing of limited resources and even less experience.
However, during this last year and a half, we have constantly been growing with our
responsibilities and we hope that you are all happy with the outcome of our effort,
and that you enjoy this year’s MSA conference in all its aspects.

The growth of MSA as a global organization and the increasing richness and constant
transformation of the field of memory studies are clearly reflected by the impressive
length, richness and depth of the conference program, which provides a powerful and
comprehensive map of the area today. Besides the already established routines of the
former MSA gatherings in Amsterdam and Copenhagen, there are two elements in
the 2019 conference we want to highlight. First, we thought that one central theme
of the conference should be to promote a better knowledge and engagement of non-
Western epistemologies of the past, as a necessary step in making the field more
open-ended and inclusive. Second, in this same vein, Madrid appeared to us as a
superb opportunity to further promote the ongoing cooperation between English
and Spanish speaking memory scholars, so the program has some bilingual spaces
that we will try to bridge through different modalities of simultaneous or consecutive
translation.

In our opinion, both the university campus and the city as a whole provide the best
possible scenario for a conference of this nature. Madrid is an attractive, open, busy,

III Annual Memory Studies Association Conference 9

Welcome

and welcoming city, particularly in early summer. Of course we want everybody to

submerge themselves in the many wonders and surprises that the academic face
of the conference offers –including keynotes, roundtables, special sessions, panels,
posters, exhibits, tours, performances, a theater play and a film festival–, but we also
encourage you to walk to the center of town, visit the monuments and museums,
taste the deservedly acclaimed Spanish food and perhaps more importantly, indulge
with friends and colleagues in the celebrated Madrid street terraces for a beer or a
glass of wine at night.

2019 marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the Spanish Civil War and the
Republican Exile, and there are traces of these events in the program. The facility
where most of the conference will take place, the Faculty of Philology, is itself a
powerful and multi-layered memory site connected to the Spanish Civil War. When
you stroll through its halls, sit down in its classrooms or, more generally, when you
walk across the campus of Complutense University, you may be aware that this area
was a crucial part of the frontline during the long siege of Madrid in the Spanish
Civil War. The image of the ruined building on the MSA2019 conference poster and
program is in fact the very Faculty where this conference takes place as it stood in
1939, right after the end of the war, showing all the scars of bombings and heavy
combats. Many buildings in the campus area still have bullet marks in their walls. Very
close to the main facility, near the Ciudad Universitaria metro station, you may also
find the monument to the International Brigades, which was inaugurated in 2011 and
is frequently vandalized. Very recently, the large avenue connecting the campus with
the neighboring area of Moncloa, where the Arch of Triumph commissioned by Franco
–finished in 1959– still stands, was renamed by the City Council as the Avenue of
Memory, in an attempt to revert the narrative of military victory inscribed in the urban
fabric during the dictatorship in this area of Madrid. No doubt, this seems like a very
suitable location for a conference on memory studies.

Looking forward to a very fruitful conference for all of you, for all of us!

Sincerely,

the Local Organizing Committee

 CONFERENCE VENUES

The MSA Conference Madrid 2019 will take place at the Moncloa Campus of the
Complutense University of Madrid. The headquarters of the conference will be
the main building of the Faculty of Philology and Philosophy, but due to the large
attendance we have been obliged to split the activities with another philology faculty
building, the Faculty of Geography and History and the nearby “Pablo VI” Conference
Center.

All these buildings are in the same campus and/or within walking distance.

Getting to UCM
The UCM is located at “Ciudad Universitaria” at the center of the city. Madrid ́s public
transport system offers easy, fast and convenient transport not only within the city
limits, but also to destinations outside Madrid. The closest Metro station to the
Campus is “Ciudad Universitaria” (Line 6, gray). You will have to walk 10’ to the Faculty
of Philology and Philosophy. The metro runs approximately every 4-8 minutes.

TICKETS

All pay-per-ride tickets must be loaded onto a Tarjeta Multi, a contactless, transferable
plastic smartcard that you can purchase for 2.50 at all Metro stations from ticket
machines that have a red sticker saying Tarjeta MULTI Disponible AQUÍ. For further

III Annual Memory Studies Association Conference 31

Pre-conference Events

Participants will engage in a series of activities aimed at exploring the various

pasts of the demolished Prison of Carabanchel. We will visit the spot where
the prison used to be together with activist and local collectives that want it
to be a memory site and a hospital for neighbors. They are also fighting against
the only building still in existence, a migrant detention center. Through these
activities, we will consider the opportunities and challenges of collaborative
work, as well as various concerns when attempting to bridge local, national,
and transnational memory work.

Mechanisms for Remembering: A Workshop

Alex Kelly (Third Angel Theatre Company)
Maximum:12 participants

How do we remember? How do we find and tell memories? How might

memories become performance?
A workshop demonstrating techniques designed to allow participants to
access memories, and draw on those memories to tell their own stories, in a
safe space, and without feeling the pressure of coming up with ‘good material’.
Exercises that allow participants to be both an expert in their own experience,
and also be ‘put on the spot’ and so re-discover memories that are not just the
stories we always tell.

34 Madrid, June 25 - 28, 2019

 Pre-conference Events

The workshop draws on exercises developed for the creation of a number of

Third Angel shows, in particular Senseless (1998), Where From Here (2000),

MEDIA AND CULTURAL MEMORY

INTERDISCIPLINARY SERIES

Edited by Astrid Erll and Ansgar Nünning

This interdisciplinary series addresses the relationship between media and cultural
memory. Its publications study how media construct, store, and disseminate
memory. The series focuses on different media and technologies, such as text
and image, cinema and new digital media, and on transmediality, intermediality,
and remediation, as well as on the social (and increasingly transnational and
transcultural) contexts of mediated memory. The aim of the series is to provide a
vibrant international platform for research and scholarly exchange in the field of
cultural memory studies. Manuscripts submitted to the series are peer reviewed by
expert referees.

 Fourth Annual Meeting of
the Memory Studies Association Charlottesville,
18-20 June 2020:
Democracy and Memory

We are very pleased to announce that the 2020 Annual Meeting of the MSA will take
place at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia (USA) on June 18-21,
2020. Though Charlottesville only recently came to international attention because
of the violent gathering of white nationalists and counter-protests that took place in
August 2017, and because of President Donald Trump’s notorious reaction to them,
Charlottesville has long held an unusual and complex place in U. S. history. It is the
birthplace of three U. S. Presidents (Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James
Monroe), all of whom were slaveholders, as well as home to Merriweather Lewis and
William Clark, who were tasked by their neighbor Jefferson to undertake their famous
Northwest expedition. Charlottesville has a long and difficult history, and it is this

history that made —and makes— Charlottesville such a potent terrain for debates
about the complexities of history and memory.

Since 2017, the University of Virginia has undertaken a number of efforts to examine
its own complex and difficult past, including the erection of a memorial to the
enslaved laborers who built the university as well as a new “Democracy Initiative.”
As part of this Democracy Initiative, “The Memory Project” is focusing specifically on
the relationship (s) between democracy and memory, and in particular on what kinds
of memory are conducive, and what kinds of memory are antithetical, to democratic
politics. This inquiry also matches the memory work being done at Jefferson’s home
at Monticello, which has developed new exhibitions and narratives to highlight
and explore the complex lives of Jefferson’s slaves, as well as the implications of
Jefferson’s slaveholding for American identity. Local activists for racial justice, such
as #blacklivesmatter, are raising related concerns. The theme of our Annual Meeting
in 2020 will thus be “Memory and Democracy,” though papers in all areas of memory
studies will be welcome. Please check memorystudiesassociation.org for updated
information and a Call for Papers shortly!
