Segnaliamo il seminario “Forests, Archives, Memory: Decolonizing Environmental Humanities through Turkish Literature”, patrocinato dal British Insitute of Ankara e con la partecipazione della dott. Deniz Gündoğan İbrişim, in programma il 6 maggio 2025 alle ore 16.30 (UTC +1). Sarà possibile seguire il seminario sia in presenza che online, registrandosi al link allegato.
Drawing on environmental humanities and the emerging field of environmental memory studies, it introduces and explores the concept of “arboreal memory,” positioning trees and forests as living archives that bear witness to environmental and social traumas. Through an analysis of literary representations of Mediterranean and Anatolian landscapes, the talk investigates how arboreal spaces serve as sites where both human and nonhuman collectives remember and respond to ecological destruction and its lasting aftermath.
