This lecture is funded by the Departamento de Filoloxía Inglesa, Francesa e Alemá and the Interuniversity Doctoral Programme in Advanced English Studies (iDAES) of the University of Vigo and is directly linked to the seminar (curso de formación) “The Representation of Conflicts: An Introduction to Trauma and Memory in Texts”, co-taught by Teresa Caneda and Martín Urdiales. This seminar approaches the representation of traumatic events such as the Irish Famine and the Holocaust which implied forms of enforced mobility and have become associated with cultural memory/ies. The seminar will focus on texts which deal with the representation of scenarios of conflict (dislocation, violent assimilation) and where the relationships among languages and speakers are marked by hierarchies of power.
