Finding the Shape Described by an Absence. On Reading the History of Sites; course by Rose-Anne Gush
Rose-Anne Gush’s excellent course invites students to explore absences and repression in the history of places. With the help of feminist and situated research methods, archival work and oral history, participants develop new approaches to the critical interpretation of history. The focus on gender, ethnic origin and the history of National Socialism makes structural invisibilities in academic knowledge tangible. The students’ strong desire for an extension of the course shows the lasting effect of this format. It not only imparts knowledge, but also shapes attitudes – thus creating an impact that is rarely so clearly felt.
