Title
The Digital Afterlife of the 1947 Partition
Abstract
The study of Partition has been growing in many diverse directions over the past two decades, taking the discipline from a niche subject to a significant area of exploration. The developments and changes in technology have made this process easier, allowing for the exchange of memories and oral histories through virtual spaces where international boundaries divide. However, with this growth there are also challenges for the study of Partition specifically, but for the discipline more widely. This paper begins by tracing the origins and context of these developments in Partition Studies, before discussing the impact this has had on the ongoing debates and discourses in the field.
Information
The seminar will be held in English.
