New season of the Privacy Studies Podcast
The first episodes of the newest and fifth season of the centre’s very own Privacy Studies Podcast have been published. Listen to the podcast here on our website.
The new season follows the discussions of the symposium PRIVACY AND DEATH: Past and Present, which took place at the University of Copenhagen and online between October 12 and 13, 2023. The symposium aimed to bring to the fore the discussions of what kind of privacy, if any, we have given to our dead in different cultural and historical contexts. In this season of the podcast, you will hear presentations by historians, archaeologists, sociologists, and other experts.
Season 5 of Privacy Studies Podcast consists of twelve episodes based on some of the presentations of the symposium. The first six episodes have been released and the last episodes will be out soon.
The newly released episodes cover topics such as the relationship between post-mortem privacy and the law, public intercession in Hungarian Private Judgment frescoes, the impact of mourning rituals and traditions on rural Albanian women’s private lives, questions of decoloniality, privacy and representation in the Enlightenment period, research ethics of human remains, and dynamics of privacy and death in Nigeria. Thus, covering many different cultural, historical, and geographical contexts from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives.
The symposium and this season of the Privacy Studies Podcast is organized and produced by Felicia Fricke (Saxo Institute, University of Copenhagen) and Natacha Klein Käfer (Centre for Privacy Studies, University of Copenhagen).
