About event
What is memory culture? How does the political and intellectual elite (and Czech society) work with historical memory? What direction does the production of Czech recollection go? Can we create living places of memory? Are they a source of healthy and confident patriotism? How can fiction, cinematography and film documentary can contribute to the memory culture? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Czech reflection of the history of the 20th century and experience with totalitarian regimes? What helps the resistance of civil society in the face of misinterpretation of the history of opponents of freedom and democracy? Where in Europe can we look for inspiration and lessons? As usual, historian and philosopher Petr Hlaváček, director of the research and education department, moderates.
