Document Summary
The central theme of the lectures and readings in this month is the relationship between memory and history. History and memory are similar in a way where they both create a concept of narrating the past . Without visual arts, photographs, documentaries, writing, scriptures or physical sites we wouldn"t be able to narrate history. Without these things, memories of these moments will break away and will eventually vanish. Although we have discovered every location on earth and all types of individuals and cultures have crossed paths, to this day we still witness some of the greatest tragedies of our time in history. By creating memories of these historical events, it has created a need to remember these occurrences in order to help everyone to make sense of what has happened. Also it helps us to find a solution to how to manage these horrible events that are going to happen in the future.
