This first edition of the LIMS Summer School (Trento, 26-31 August 2024) aims to offer an introduction to this increasingly rich and stimulating discipline, with classes and activities that especially concentrate on one of the basic questions driving the field, namely: what is memory? Is it a function of the mind, the result of a socio-historical process, or something in between? During the classes and the related activities memory experts from different fields, namely history (ancient to contemporary), sociology, psychology, semiotics, anthropology, literature and media studies will introduce the possible answers to this major question and contribute to configuring a multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary picture of memory studies and their major research topics and approaches.
The Summer School is open to up to 15 advanced international undergraduate and graduate students (upper-level Bachelor and all Master students) as well as PhD students. 5 more places are reserved for UNITN students.
Call now closed.

Memory Studies Courses (MA level)
Memory studies courses are going through a reconfiguration. Starting from academic year 2026-2027 they will appear as follows:
Memory Studies I (first semester) - from 2026-2027
(NOW, ACADEMIC YEAR 2025/2026, TEMPORARILY CALLED INTRODUCTION TO MEMORY STUDIES)
Since 2019/2020, a curricular course dedicated to Memory Studies has been offered at the Department of Humanities. It is turned to MA Students, but it is also open to PhD students. It introduces the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary field of memory studies, offering a basic knowledge of the field across several disciplines (sociology, history, literature, psychology, anthropology, philosophy, media studies, cultural heritage studies).
Memory Studies II (second semester) - from 2026-2027
(NOW, ACADEMIC YEAR 2025/2026, TEMPORARILY CALLED MEMORY STUDIES I)
Starting from 2024/2025, a second course dedicated to Memory Studies has been introduced at the Department of Humanities. It is specifically turned to MA Students of the Public history curriculum of the MA course in History (but it is open to MA students from any course, and to PhD students as well). Building on the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary background of the field, it focuses on the relationship between memory and history and their entanglement within historical research, from Antiquity to the 19th century, from the Ecole des Annales to today.
