KIU-Vorlesungsreihe „History and Beyond: Frames for Sense-Making during the War“
War is an ultimate disruption in human experience; it causes reevaluation and reframing, as the predictability of everyday life is lost due to violence and destruction. People learn to navigate in a new reality and search for possible connections—to experiences of others, family narratives, history textbooks, stories available in the culture, etc. Natalia Otrishenko will refer to the documentation project “24/02/22, 5 am: Testimonies from the war” that was launched in March 2022 as a reaction to the russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine. She will reflect on the examples from the interviews where people refer to the idea of "impossible war” but also provide different meaning-making frames to explain the event. The lecture will describe the transformation of the extended self during the war as people reframe their lives regarding the past(s)—their personal ones, families, communities, and society in general. It will conclude with notes on new war temporalities that not only disentangle personal stories but also make new connections within them. The series forms the first part of a multi-semester lecture series of the Competence Network Interdisciplinary Ukrainian Studies Frankfurt (Oder) - Berlin (KIU), which is organized alternately by the members of the network led by the European University Viadrina. The lecture series entitled “War in Ukraine: Destruction of Heritage - Mastering Legacy” will take place this winter semester on Mondays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in German or English in the auditorium of the Jacob-und-Wilhelm-Grimm-Zentrum of Humboldt-Universität, Geschwister-Scholl-Straße 1-3 in Berlin. As part of the lecture series, speakers from the fields of science, art and literature, who work on Ukraine from different perspectives, will give lectures on the tension between cultural heritage and legacies in the form of imprints, legacies and traumas. The series consists of various formats: Classic lectures on endangered archives, decommunization and decolonization of Soviet monuments, resistance and resilience of Ukrainian civil society as well as the challenges of reconstruction are flanked by panel discussions and artistic contributions.Zusammenfassung:
