Shaping Transatlantic Memories – Public Diplomacy and Commemoration Practices in Postwar European American Relations: Historical events such as the founding of the colonies in North America, the transatlantic slave trade, and World War II have shaped the transatlantic memory of a shared past. While recent memories of the Atlantic slave trade have urged activists to demand the toppling of statues in Europe, there is a long-standing history of state and non-state actors who reformed and changed the memory landscape. The aim of the seminar is to shed light on the significance of transatlantic memories in diplomatic relations and how these practices have changed the ways in which we perceive and think about our entangled histories. The end of World War II has spurred the race for domestic and international commemoration of historic events. Over the course of the seminar, we will engage with different commemoration practices such as memorials, museums, historic sites, or national holidays and investigate how their histories have affected and impacted the transatlantic relations through a memory culture.
