The Holocaust by Bullets in Literature, Film and Visual Art conference In brief Dates - 18 and 19 September 2024 Venue - Senate House, London Speakers - Dr McKenna Marko (University of Leeds); Professor Roma Sendyka (Jagellonian University, Kraków); Dr Steven Samols (University College London) Format - a two-day conference with three panel sessions, three keynote lectures, a film screening and a pedagogy workshop Book your ticket on the ILCS website About the event Organised by Dr Jenny Watson of the Department of European Languages and Cultures at the University of Edinburgh, in collaboration with the Institute of Languages, Cultures and Societies, this conference explores the concept of 'The Holocaust by Bullets' in literature, film and visual art. In recent years, popular histories have provided a language for speaking about mass shootings that has been taken up by artists and scholars alike. However, the idea that a mass shooting should be considered separately and individually is only gradually taking hold. This conference will bring scholars together to showcase interdiscplinary research and illuminate trends in the representation of Holocaust mass shootings, in order to interrogate the extent to which works dealing with this history would benefit from consideration as distinct resources. It will consist of three panel sessions, each with two to three speakers, a film screening of Beyond Babi Yar (dir. Eli Adler, 2023) and Q&A with producer John Pollick, three keynote lectures, and will conclude with a pedagogy workshop (which can be booked separately). The keynote lectures are: Dr McKenna Marko (University of Leeds): Spectral Landscapes: Retracing the Holocaust by Bullets in East/Central European Literature, Film, and Visual Culture Professor Roma Sendyka (Jagellonian University, Kraków): Between Lieux de Mémoire and Non-Sites of Memory. New Approaches to Sites of Holocaust by Bullets. Dr Steven Samols (University College London): The History of the Holocaust in Jewish Photo Books Photo credit: Babi Yar Monument, Kiev.
