Participants got to know each other and made a presentation of their own research. Different fields of humanities are represented in the group and intersect with trauma and memory studies, specifically: 

• Law: transitional justice, memory and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; 

• Law and communication: media, law and its audience - litigation’s strategies and evolution;

• Anthropology: representation of trauma in Goya’s “Disasters of War”;

• Visual arts and sociology: elaboration of traumatic past in different former KGB prisons turned into museums; political activism and trauma in post-dictatorial Brazil; 

• Psychology: ex-soldier’s visual representation of war experiences in Israel;

• Literature: exile, war and forced dislocation during the period of the Russian Revolution.

The group decided on the format of the meeting and what should be discussed in the next meeting.
