10/06 12pm-2pm: CHMST WIP; When Memories Come Alive: 'Vivid' Remembering in Early Modern Britain' -Martha McGill

When Memories Come Alive: 'Vivid' Remembering in Early Modern Britain

In cognitive science and psychology, 'vivid' memory is a recognised conceptual category, associated with particular sensory and emotional qualities. Can this category be usefully adopted by historians? The study of early modern memory has flourished in recent years, but scholars have typically explored the collective and social dimensions of memory over and above the individual experience of remembering. However, early modern natural philosophers did theorise about how bodies and souls cooperated to produce compelling mental images, while theologians discussed how the Holy Spirit could make the naturally 'dead' memory operate 'lively and powerfully'. Life-writers, meanwhile, described their formative experiences in ways that parallel both classical rhetorical models for lively narrative, and modern-day psychological templates for vivid memory. An interdisciplinary analysis of early modern memory accounts may open up new avenues for debate, and guide us towards a richer understanding of how memory was felt and understood.

When: 11:00 - 13:00, Tue, 16 Jun '26

This workshop will introduce key concepts from public engagement theory that can support good practice. From understanding your purpose to tailoring for your audience, we will explore the important questions to consider when designing and developing public engagement activity and the value of this to both individuals and the institution. We will reflect on how this could be applied to your own research, and discuss the wider support available from the Warwick Institute of Engagement - wherever you are on your engagement journey.

The workshop will be led by Laura Harford, the strategic lead for Resonate, WIE’s public events programme. She has extensive experience in outreach and public engagement, and works closely with students, staff and community partners to create accessible and engaging projects.

17 June 5pm, FAB cinema (FAB0.21)

'The Uprising' screening and Q&A

Peter Snowdon's film The Uprising (2013) – which J. Hoberman called a 'masterpiece of iPhone cinema' – coalesces YouTube videos from the Arab revolutions. It shows the Arab Spring from the inside, as it was experienced by citizens of Egypt, Tunisia, Syria, Bahrain, Libya, and Yemen – marking the first time that participants took it upon themselves to film, narrativize, and broadcast their efforts to overthrow oppressive regimes in real time. This movie and Snowdon's book The People Are Not an Image (Verso, 2020) treat the phone camera as an extension more of the arm than of the eye, examining what happens when film becomes a direct tool of revolutionary action.
