Annotation
The events in the past 20th century are reflected today in intergenerational communication in families, communities, or at the macro level of society. The way we remember the past reflects our current value anchoring and our efforts to make sense of the past. The topic of the PhD study is focused on the issue of remembering the historical period of the candidate's own choice, as well as the geographical scope of the research. The research of the forms and contents of memory of the historical period selected or historical phenomena/events should trace the relationship between communicative and collective memory, strategies of remembering, and/or silence and forgetting. Alternatively, the PhD project could focus on the dynamics of the remembrance politics and their impact on biographical and/or family memory.
