Café Literario La Nava: “Historical Memory Beyond Spain”
New session of Café Literario La Nava.
On Monday, December 1st, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., we will be at the Municipal Library of Navalafuente (c/ Iglesia 13 – Navalafuente, Madrid) with a new session titled “Historical Memory Beyond Spain. Collective Traumas in Europe, Latin America and Palestine.”
Presentation by Harry Rijnen, followed by a debate.
On this occasion, we will discuss how different societies have dealt with their collective wounds, how narratives about the past are constructed, and how these traumas influence present-day identity and coexistence.
We hope you find this topic as engaging as we did while preparing it, and that you will join us for this new afternoon of conversation and reflection.
We’ll be delighted to see you there again.
We look forward to welcoming you!
