  Conclusion

  Sep 5, 202516 minS0

  <p>The COST Action Slow Memory (2021–2025), led by Jenny Wüstenberg and Joanna Wawrzyniak, brought together 323 scholars from 44 countries to reframe memory studies. Emerging from a critique of event-focused, fast-paced approaches, the project emphasized slow-moving, dispersed, and structural temporalities of memory. Organized into five working groups, it explored industrial decline, welfare transformations, right-wing memory politics, conflict transformation, and environmental memory. The Action produced publications, teaching resources, policy briefs, and a virtual exhibition, while fostering collaborations across disciplines. As it concludes, Slow Memory endures as a conceptual and methodological framework shaping future scholarship and collective practice. In this episode, hosts Annemarie Majlund...

  Slow Memory in the House of European History

  Sep 5, 202517 minS0

  In this episode of the Slow Memory Podcast, members of the COST action travel to Brussels to explore the House of European History’s Present Pasts exhibition through the lens of “slow witnessing.” Guided through powerful photographic projects that reimagine how Europe remembers, they focus on two striking case studies: Julien Sales’ Glacier, The Last Image, a haunting self-portrait of a disappearing glacier, and Hugo Passarello Luna’s Nostalgie de la Boue, which blurs the line between First World War history and reenactment. Reflecting on these works, the curators show how slowing down to notice details, connections, and emotions can deepen our unde...

They explore their approach to immersive, slow ethnography—spending extended time in the region, engaging with local communities, interviewing activists, and mapping tourist experiences. The discussion highlights the methodological, ethical, and wellbeing challenges of long‑term, place‑based research, and argues for the value of slowness in producing meaningful, critically engaged scholarship.<p > Hosted on Acast...

  Solidarity: A Slow Memory Concept

  May 15, 202516 minS0

  <p>The concept of solidarity occupies a central yet contested place in the history of Europe’s labour movements. Frequently invoked by trade unionists across ideological traditions, its meanings have never been singular or fixed. Drawing on life story interviews with retired union activists from several European countries, this podcast – hosted by Joanna Wawrzyniak and Natalie Braber – explores how solidarity is remembered as a lived, evolving practice shaped by the experience of industrial reorganisations. Both hosts bring insights from their collaboration in a broader oral history project on trade union memory in Europe, as part of Working Group 1, "Transformation of Work"...
