Public Defence Doctoral Thesis Goda Palekaité

The result of this Ph.D. research is a book that gives space to fields of knowledge ordinarily disregarded by academic historiography and by the sciences – fields that, nevertheless, profoundly shape our relation to the past. It is imagined as a conversation with her teachers, most of whom Palekaitė had to find herself, none of whom the education system introduced her to, a large majority of whom she encountered only through text, film, or artwork, half of whom were dead before she was born.
