ESF workshop

On October 3-4 2011, the Centre for Social Studies hosted the European Science Foudation Exploratory Workshop, "Colonial Wars: collective traumas, European memories" (EW10-017, SCSS). Margarida Calafate Ribeiro and Luísa Sales were the convenors of this workshop, sponsored by the European Science Foundation and the Centre for Social Studies.

The meeting was a follow-up to the project Children of Colonial Wars: postmemory and representations, coordinated by Margarida Calafate Ribeiro at the Centre for Social Studies (2007-2011). This 3-year project (sponsored by FCT and the Ministry of National Defense) had as one of its aims to open comparative lines of research at European scale to study the postmemory of the Colonial Wars.

This multidisciplinary exploratory workshop was the first step. It assembled participants from three different fields of research (cultural studies, history and psychiatry) in order to discuss the intergenerational transfer of memories related to the overseas experience of the European colonial wars.
