Social Memory Production in the Human Rights Museum: A (Trans)National Perspective

This research project engages with current debates in memory and museum studies regarding the shifting nature of collective memory production in a world of unprecedented global interconnectedness. It critically examines to what extent globalization effects may have decreased the capacity of nation-states to generate a sense of community based on a culturally bounded collective identity construct. In doing so, the analysis uses human rights museums from around the world as case studies to evaluate their possibilities and limitations in producing solidarity communities beyond the national.
