Fifth International Conference in the Humanities History & Memory April 5-7,
2018 

Texts act like receptacles for an ever present remembered past, or what the
French philosopher Paul Ricœur calls ''the present representation of an absent
thing'' (7).1 They might embody an efficient remedy to forgetting but could
also become a vivid testimony for exorcised traumas, and ''it is on this level
and from this viewpoint that we can legitimately speak of wounded, even of
sick memory'' (Ricœur, 69). According to Ricoeur, ''the work of mourning is
the cost of the work of remembering, but the work of remembering is the
benefit of the work of mourning'' (72). Thus remembering brings back a bitter
past but might heal revived memories. As to history, it is always in tension
between memory and forgetting; it relies on memory and prevents from
forgetting. But it is also questionable because it depends on its source and
its context and sways between hiding and revealing. During this conference the
debate will focus on Ricœur's phenomenology of memory, epistemology of
history, and hermeneutics of forgetting. A special emphasis will be laid on
the dissension between individual and collective institutional memory.
