KEYNOTE

"The Politics of Regret Revisited"

Prof. Dr. Jeffrey Olick (University of Virginia)

In the talk, Jeffrey Olick will review the trajectories of what he has called the politics of regret - acknowledging and apologizing for difficult pasts - from its heyday in the 1990s through the last two decades, with particular attention to transformations in the last five years. He will give particular attention to debates over postcolonial memory in Europe (with particular attention to recent German debates) and to the end of what he has called American exceptionalism in memory politics following the murder of Geroge Floyd and the rise of BLM (showing how the discourses are intertwined).?
