"This conference takes the 50th anniversary of 1968 as an occasion to critically assess the various ways in which radical events and movements since the 1960s have been retold, not just in historical writing, but through a broad range of cultural media, activities, and practices, including by activists themselves. It also seeks to explore how the representation of the past is involved in the struggle over cultural and political meaning in the present, over what counts as history and what does not. Finally, it aims to reflect on how memory and history continue to inform political activity in the contemporary moment".

Sono questi gli obiettivi del convegno organizzato dal Dipartimento di storia dell'Università di Liverpool, in agenda per il prossimo 8 giugno 2018. La call è rivolta a storici, ma anche attivisti, giornalisti, artisti, musicisti, educatori, esperti di cinema e archivisti. Le proposte di contributo sono da inviare entro il 16 febbraio 2018, seguendo le indicazioni al seguente link: http://events.history.ac.uk/event/show/16186
