Invitation
\nWhat Trauma Tells Us About Ourselves as Nations -
\nA Discussion with Asal Dardan and Karolina Wigura<\/h3>\n

Date: Monday, 24. November 2025
\nTime: 06 p.m. \u2013 8 p.m.
\nPlace: Polish Institute in Berlin, Burgstra\u00dfe 27, 10178 Berlin<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do traumatic experi\u00adences shape nations and societies? If so, how? In the case of Poland, historical traumas seem to leave Poles fearful, anxious, and unhappy. Yet, in moments of crisis, these traumas enable them to mobilize and prepare to fight. Germany\u2019s history of violence against ethnic and social groups has perma\u00adnently raised questions about victimhood, guilt, and belonging.<\/p>\n

History shapes our contem\u00adporary relation\u00adships, obses\u00adsions, and fears. What causes this, and how can one break free from it? Are we doomed to constantly remind ourselves of our difficult history? Is trauma passed down through gener\u00ada\u00adtions? What does trauma reveal about Poles and Germans? What unites and divides us? How has history shaped our daily behaviors, fears, and obses\u00adsions? During the debate, Asal Dardan<\/strong> and Karolina Wigura<\/strong> will address these questions. Katharina Blumberg-Stankiewicz<\/strong> will moderate the evening.<\/p>\n

Asal Dardan<\/strong> is a freelance essayist and writer. She holds degrees in cultural studies from the University of Hildesheim and in Middle Eastern studies from the University Lund. Her 2021 collection of essays Reflec\u00adtions of a Barbarian<\/a> (Hoffmann und Campe, 2022) explores topics such as origin, exclusion, racism, and femininity. In her recent book Traumaland: Searching for Traces in Germany\u2019s Past and Present<\/a> (Rohwolt, 2025) she confronts entrenched German discourses on memory.<\/p>\n

Dr. habil. Karolina Wigura<\/strong> is a historian of ideas, sociol\u00adogist, and journalist. She is member of the Board of Kultura Liberalna Foundation, based in Warsaw, and a Senior Fellow of the Center for Liberal Modernity, based in Berlin. Wigura is also lecturer at Warsaw University\u2019s Institute of Sociology and focuses on the political philosophy of the 20th century and emotions in politics, as well as sociology and ethics of memory, partic\u00adu\u00adlarly transi\u00adtional justice, historical guilt, and recon\u00adcil\u00adi\u00adation. Wigura was awarded fellow\u00adships at Institute of Advanced Studies in Berlin, Robert Bosch Academy, Institute of Human Sciences in Vienna, German Marshall Fund, and St. Antony\u2019s College at University of Oxford. In 2008, she received the Grand Press prize for her interview with J\u00fcrgen Habermas \u201cEurope in death paralysis.\u201d Wigura is the author of \u201cPosttrau\u00adma\u00adtische Souver\u00e4nit\u00e4t\u201d, \u201cEndo. Sztuka akcep\u00adtacji choroby\u201d, \u201cPolka ateistka kontra Polak katolik\u201d, \u201cWynalazek nowoczesnego serca\u201d. Her work has also been published in The Guardian, The New York Times, Neue Zuercher Zeitung, Gazeta Wyborcza, and other periodicals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Katharina Blumberg-Stankiewicz, <\/strong>has been a researcher and lecturer at the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder) focusing on migration, in- and exclusion, and belonging. She lives and works as a freelance cultural scientist in Berlin, where she co-founded the initiative Between the Poles<\/a>. Since 2022, she has co-curated the collab\u00ado\u00adrative online repos\u00aditory Trauma Tables vs. Waiting<\/a>.<\/p>\n
