Lecture at the meeting of the Polish Commission of Balkan Culture and History (AIESEE)

Members of the POSTCOMER Agata Domachowska and Francesco Trupia took part in the meeting of the Polish Commission of Balkan Culture and History (AIESEE).

They gave a lecture on "Post-Memory Culture and Politics in the Valley of
Albanians in Sicily".

This project investigates the post-memory culture and politics in the "Valley of Albanians" – Italy’s most famous municipality home to the Arbëreshë community. 

It precisely looks at how post-memory generations recollect and care about the events of the Portella della Ginestra massacre of 1947.

• How do young Arbëreshë, if at all, remember the massacre of 1947?
• Which are the old and newer venues for exploring the local memory? 
• What does the post-memory recollect about the identity, language, and sense of belonging to Arbëreshë culture?
