Instytut Historii Sztuki UJ zaprasza na wykład prof. Felicitas Schmieder (FernUniversität w Hagen, Historisches Institut) pt.

"What do you know of the German East?" (1940/42). Addressing and creating medieval memory in image and text

Abstract:

Memories of the common Middle Ages have been used quite differently in Poland and Germany, and very often against each other. The talk will look at a period when Germans used the Middle Ages for legitimizing expansion to the East, against Poland or sometimes even ignoring Poland at all. Starting from a schoolbook "What do you know of the German East" - meaning, by German East, mostly Poland with the "truly German town" of Cracow - we will end at focusing on the contested memory and contesting monuments of Tannenberg-Grunwald.

Wykład odbędzie się 14 listopada (wtorek) o godz. 18.45 w sali 40.
