Re-telling stories of the Central and East European Jews from transnational, translocal and transmedia perspectives
The aim of the panel is to discuss various ways of re-telling stories of the Central and East European Jews in cinema and literature, from transnational, translocal and transmedia perspectives. Analysis of selected fiction and documentary films, novels and (auto)biographical writings will allow to explore visible/ invisible, forgotten/ not-yet-remembered histories of individual people and of Jewish communities. In the East-Central European context – a region fraught with overlapping memories - the idea of re-telling stories comes together with a need of theoretical and methodological reflections on (trans)nationality, (trans)locality and interconnectivity of media.
