The EU-funded Marie Sklodowska-Curie Global project ‘Cultural Memory in LGBTQ Activism for Rights - MemoRights’ () ran from 2019 to 2022. Dr. Daniele Salerno was the principal investigator with the supervision of Prof. Ann Rigney. The project was based in 2020-2021 at the 木瓜福利影视 of Buenos Aires, with the supervision of , and at the in Amsterdam.
LGBTQ activism is a key example of a transnational social movement. Activists create images, practices, texts, symbols, and narratives to shape their claims and make them socially visible; their cultural production builds on earlier social movements and struggles and may become inspiring sources for later generations.
Cultural memories of activism travel with and through activists and media, in time and space. The production, use, remediation, and recirculation of cultural memories in LGBTQ activism is the primary focus of the project. MemoRights addressed this question: how is cultural memory used as a resource in LGBTQ activism?
The project engaged with this research question by analyzing commemorations, memorials, and archives as settings and tools in LGBTQ activism from a transnational perspective.
