Dr. Violeta Davoliūtė, Institute of International Relations and Political Science, Vilnius University
Read MoreThe rise of political populism in Europe has catalyzed a new round of debate and controversy over collaboration with Nazi Germany. This presentation will examine several works of "perpetrator postmemory" in East Central Europe -- memoirs by the children and grandchildren of individuals who participated in the Holocaust -- against the background of the more conventional narratives of national martyrdom and resistance during WWII.
Dr. Violeta Davoliūtė is a Professor in the Department of Political Philosophy at Vilnius University Institute of International Relations and Political Science, and Senior Researcher at the Lithuanian Cultural Research Institute. She was a Fellow at the Imre Kertez Kolleg Jena (2018-2019), Visiting Professor at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (2016) and an Associate Research Scholar at Yale (2015-2016). Professor Davoliūtė completed her Ph.D. at the University of Toronto and has been the principal investigator for major national and European research grants. She is a specialist in matters of modernity, historical trauma and the politics of memory.
