Remarkably, history is currently not simply politized, but history is also being sacralized. Historical evidence, myths and stereotypes are declared &#8220;authentic&#8221; and therefore beyond doubt or criticism. Secular and sacral rituals, venerated objects and marked spaces are used to strengthen feelings of national identity and belonging. Religious authorities and churches are often involved in the sacralization of historical politics. Populist parties and regimes also make use of history in this manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Programm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>28.06.2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10.00\u201310.10 am OPENING REMARKS<br>Heidi Hein-Kircher (Marburg), Liliya Berezhnaya (Amsterdam\/Leuven), Johannes Paulmann (Mainz)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10.10\u201310.45 am KEYNOTE<br>Johannes Paulmann (Mainz): Sacralization \u2013 Historical Concepts and Practices<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Break<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>11.00\u201312.30 am SECTION I: INTERCONFESSIONAL AND MNEMONIC CONFLICTS<br>Moderation: Liliya Berezhnaya (Amsterdam\/Leuven)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Radu Nedici (Bucharest): Remembering Religious Dissent Through Its Martyrs: The Orthodox Church and the Appropriation of Historical Memory in Postsocialist Romania<br>Wiktoria Kudela-\u015awi\u0105tek (Krak\u00f3w): The (Ab)Use of Orthodox Marian Iconography in the Holodomor Visual Culture<br>Ursula Woolley (London): &#8220;Holier Than Thou?&#8221; Russian Sacralization of History and Ecclesiastical Politicization in<br>Ukraine in Discursive Competition Over Ukrainian Autocephaly<br>Discussion<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lunch Break (1 hour)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.30\u20133.30 pm SECTION II: MARTYRS OF FAITH AND NATION<br>Moderation: Heidi Hein-Kircher (Marburg)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tatiana Nikonorova (Aprelevka): Nicholas II in Modern Russia: Between Sacralization and Politics<br>Yuliya Yurchuk (Stockholm), Andriy Fert (Kyiv): Sacralization of Memory of Euromaidan Protests from a Postsecular Perspective<br>Pawe\u0142 Duber (Birmingham): Two Coffins: Right-Wing Politics of Memory and the &#8220;Sacralisation&#8221; of History<br>in Poland after 2000<br>Irina Paert (Tartu): Passion According to Nationalists: Martyrs for Faith and Sacralization of History in the Baltic Provinces and Estonia<br>Discussion<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Break<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3.45\u20134.45 pm SECTION III: NEW PAGANISM AND THE SACRALIZATION\/INVENTION OF TRADITION<br>Moderation: Johannes Paulmann (Mainz)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Karin Reichenbach (Leipzig): &#8220;Nacjopoganie&#8221;?
