Towards recommendations for working with Holocaust testimony in the digital age – USC Shoah Foundation |
Posted By admin on October 2, 2022
Testimony has always posed challenges for educators: for example, whether to treat it as historical source or personal memory; how testimony transform over time; the trauma-literacy of recipients and the well-being of testimony-givers. Nevertheless, digital technologies introduce further complications, especially concerning access, provenance, ownership, and agency.
As part of the Digital Holocaust Memory: Hyperconnective Archives and Museums of the Future research project, a team led by the University of Sussex and University of Bern have run a series of co-creation workshops focused on six core themes. The aim of these workshops has been to adopt a fast approach to research recognising that we need to be more reactive to changing digital environments. The workshops have been based on a model of global, trans-sector and transdisciplinary participation. The question driving the research has been: what happens when we bring together a wide range of experts and stakeholders (quickly) what can we produce?
In this lecture, Dr Walden will present the initial outcome of the two workshops on the theme digitally recording, recirculating and remixing testimony which brought together scholars, archivists, Holocaust educators, artists and filmmakers from the UK, USA, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany, and Israel, including colleagues who have been involved in the USC Shoah Foundations Dimensions in Testimony project. The presentation will introduce the broader project and its methodology, before focusing on the recommendations designed to support the global Holocaust education, museum, and archive sectors for the future. In the spirit of participation that has informed this project from its beginnings, discussion, debate, ideas, actions, and suggestions for memory activism are deeply encouraged from attendees during the session.
