International and interdisciplinary workshop, which will take place from the 4th until the 5th of November 2019 at the Istituto Storico Austriaco in Rome.
The question how European societies are dealing with the legacies of their colonial pasts are currently increasingly attracting both public and scientific attention. For some reason, Italy’s public is hardly concerned by this international discussion. Scholars, however, have begun to address the heritage of Italian colonialism almost 20 years ago.  Even though this research covered colonial heritage in a very broad context, it failed to address a key dimension: the material traces, such as architecture, arts, objects in museums, monuments, street names etc. In the context of Italy’s past such artefacts became objects of scientific research only recently and only in the context of the fascist regime’s legacy in Italy.  However, the colonial material traces of both the fascist and the liberal era have not been addressed yet. Italy’s colonial memory is still dominated by silence, denial, suppression, and various myths. While the Italian empire has almost been forgotten by most people today, it left - even though it was relatively small and short-lived compared to other European colonial empires - a lot of material and cultural traces throughout Italy as well as its former colonies.
This workshop intends to expand the knowledge about the material world of Italian colonialism and the materiality of its post-colonial memory. Furthermore, it will be examined how that ‘stuff’ left behind by the colonial epoch offers a new understanding of colonialism and its aftermath in both Italy and its ex-colonies. Therefore, this proposal aims at bringing together excellent scholars, who already made outstanding contributions to this new and innovative research field. The invited papers will challenge Italy’s postcolonial silence by examining its displaced institutional and public memory from a transnational and interdisciplinary perspective - including history, anthropology, literature, memory studies, media studies, architecture, art history, and public history.
Already confirmed talks are going to address material legacies of colonialism within as well as outside the former metropole. Thus, colonial traces of various forms such as architecture, arts, museums, monuments or toponymy will be tracked in the empire’s peripheries. Therefore, case studies will not only deal with Rome but also with Bolzano, Sicily, and the Dodecanese Islands as well as with travelling materials such as artistic objects.

Until recently, historical research rarely put the Middle Ages and fascist tyranny into context: This conference therefore looks at the reception of the Middle Ages in Italian fascism with interdisciplinary perspectives, bringing together new approaches in contemporary history and medieval studies, urban studies and art history. A keynote lecture by Tommaso di Carpegna Falconieri introduces the current research status and puts the conference in context of the discussion of "Medievalismo" between fascism, modernism and socialism. In order to stimulate fruitful discussions, the conference is structured around four round tables addressing various aspects of the usages of the Middle Ages during the Ventennio. The conference will be held as a virtual event.

Zeitgeschichtetag 2018 - Geschichte wird gemacht

„Geschichte wird gemacht“ – das ist das Motto des diesjährigen „Österreichischen Zeitgeschichtetages“ (ZGT), der zwischen dem 5. und 7. April 2018 vom Institut für Zeitgeschichte der Universität Wien ausgerichtet wird. Der Titel der Tagung, die heuer ihr 25-jähriges Jubiläum feiert, soll zum Ausdruck bringen, dass gerade im mehrfachen Gedenk- und Erinnerungsjahr 2018 unser Fach im Zentrum des öffentlichen Interesses steht. „Geschichte wird gemacht“ verweist aber auch darauf, wie sehr wir als Wissenschafter_innen das kollektive Wissen über die jüngere Vergangenheit mitgestalten können.

Herzstück der Tagung, die seit 1993 alle zwei Jahre abwechselnd in Graz, Innsbruck, Klagenfurt, Linz, Salzburg und Wien stattfindet, sind 44 Panels mit über 150 Vorträgen, die Einblicke in aktuelle Debatten geben und ein Ort offener Diskussionskultur sein sollen. Besondere inhaltliche Schwerpunkte des ZGT18 gelten den Themen, Methoden und Perspektiven der zeithistorischen Forschung. Drei Ausstellungen, zwei Podiumsdiskussionen, ein Festvortrag und ein Kabarettabend mit Florian Scheuba im Audimax der Universität Wien stellen weitere Highlights der Veranstaltung dar.

Wir wünschen allen Teilnehmer_innen drei intensive Tage mit vielen anregenden Diskussionen, neuen Ideen und interessanten Begegnungen, die – ganz im Sinne des Mottos – über den ZGT18 hinaus weiterwirken mögen.

In recent years, colonialism, its memory, and diverse legacies have been studied in various ways and contexts, demonstrating how colonial pasts still shape the present. While scholarship has dealt with colonial remnants, for instance in museums and public spaces, another ‘venue’ of collective memory has hardly been addressed: the sphere of family memory.
