OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
What can Berliners’ dreams under Nazi rule teach us about life-writing in our increasingly authoritarian present?
Filmmaker Amanda Rubin-Lewis and writer Devorah Baum discuss The Third Reich of Dreams, Charlotte Beradt’s clandestine archive of Berliners’ dreams under Nazism, newly republished by Princeton University Press.
Praised by Zadie Smith as ‘Essential reading for anyone who has known what it is like to live within a totalitarian state—or is worried they’re about to find out’, this collection—assembled at great personal risk—stands as both testimony and warning, a seismograph of history registering the tremors of totalitarianism in the minds of those who lived it.
Open to all. Registration recommended (required for online attendance).
