[Report] Victimhood Nationalism in Contested Memories: National Mourning and Global Accountability
On April 21, 2010, Prof. Jie-Hyun LIM gave a talk titled “Victimhood Nationalism in Contested Memories: National Mourning and Global Accountability.”
The talk delivered at UTCP will be published in "Memory in a Global Age: Discourses, Practices and Trafectories" (Aleida Assmann and Sebatian Conrad eds, Routledge, 2010).
Prof. LIM's personality and his intelligence attracted participants. Especially his notion "transnationality" is really exciting. It will be setting the stage for serious self-criticism on our history (especially for Japanese).
