Coined by Marianne Hirsch in the 1990s the term Postmemory by now entered various disciplines who search to understand how memory form our identity and of how we position, articulate or just make sense of our place in the society and our relations with it. The term Postmemory problematizes the concept of memory by bringing attention to the memories that are not exactly personal but that keep on shaping one’s life and one’s way of seeing the world.

Few studies have been conducted on the topic of media in minority context. However, in
today’s plurilingual and multicultural societies, their role in the functioning of democracy
and in the construction of minorities’ cultural identities is crucial. These media are both
channels of communication and gathering places or common areas for communities. By
connecting individuals who share the same language, these media reinforce solidarity
within minority groups as well as their cultural identity, both at the local and global levels.
That there is a relationship between publicness and democracy has often been taken for granted. However, at this time of widespread instability, political upheaval and experimentation, when publics are increasingly being called upon to act, it is sometimes in the name of democracy, but not always. By exploring how ideas and practices of publicness and democracy are being constituted, enacted, related and reconfigured in different settings, this workshop aims to investigate the modes of public action and democracy being invoked, imagined and struggled over around the world.
