Holocaust Memory has been established as civil religion in the West since the 1970s. But the venerable tradition has problems transitioning into the digital age as a closer look at museum culture, social media, and the video game industry indicates. The established strategies of remembering the Shoah are difficult to reconcile with an increasingly simulative, immersive, and counterfactual historical culture facilitated by digitization.

 

Religionsvidenskabelig Forening (RvF) er en uafhængig foredragsforening med tilknytning til Religionsvidenskab på Aarhus Universitet. Hensigten med foreningen er kontinuerligt at skabe og udvikle et forum for diskussion og inspiration i relation til det religionsvidenskabelige fagområde i videste forstand.
