“…These deeply emplaced social contexts were noted by many participants, emerging through references to living in the same home one's whole life, living next door to one's mum (W9) or (for midwives) being able to watch babies whose births they had attended grow up over the years (MW6). 8 As the opening quote suggests, our interviews highlight the way memory and sense of place can intertwine (Jones and Garde-Hansen, 2012;Micieli-Voutsinas, 2017;Drozdzewski and Birdsall, 2019;De Nardi, 2019;Ratnam and Drozdzewski, 2020); in the image of feeding time in a particular home, on a particular settee. That the memory of this scene was also fused, for this participant, to the "lovely atmosphere" it created illustrates Drozdzewski and Birdsall's point that places can be felt (Drozdzewski and Birdsall, 2019, 8) and Ratnam and Drozdzewski's point that "sensory memories are both embodied and emplaced" (Ratnam and Drozdzewski, 2020, 767).…”

“…Practices of remembering are embedded within specific social contexts, subject to rules of how to remember that are associated with particular memory communities. 17 Following Chernobrov and Wilmers' analysis of diaspora Armenian youth identities in France, the United Kingdom, and Russia, 18 and Gül Kaya's research on Armenian youth identities in Canada, 19 the current research draws on the theoretical concepts of postmemory, past presencing, and transnational memory to understand the role of the Genocide and practices of remembering in shaping youth identities within the specific context of Jerusalem's Armenian community.…”

Considering commemorative practices of postmemory, past presencing, and transnational memory, this study considers how Genocide memories and the conflict in Artsakh intersect to shape the performance of diasporic Armenian youth identities in Jerusalem as members of a disempowered minority community. Drawing on ethnographic research in Jerusalem’s Armenian School, participant-observation in community events, and interviews with youth and community leaders, this article documents processes of intergenerational memory transmission within educational and community settings and suggests ways in which inherited narratives of victimization find new expressions via transnational acts of citizenship. As Jerusalem’s multilingual Armenian youth engage in commemorative ceremonies and take protests to the streets in acts of diaspora mobilization, memories are (re) interpreted to construct novel identity narratives tied to an imagined Armenian transnation.

“…We contend that a focus on valuation is crucial for gaining a better grasp on the appeal of specific urban values, on their successes or failures, and the contestations they provoke . This asks for a methodology that is not only formulated by abstract theoretical concerns but also rooted in daily, bodily, sensory experience (Drozdzewski & Birdsall, 2019; Pink, 2009), as the contributions in this special issue demonstrate. A redefined approach to urban valuation helps us to critically attend to the bodies that interact with the urban artefacts being managed, curated, and maintained as “heritage,” “modern,” or “hip,” and how they are, in turn, affected by particular “aesthetic formations” (Meyer & de Witte, 2013).…”

Introduction to Sensing Urban Values. This special issue assembles a set of papers that respond to a neglected, undertheorized yet crucial question relating to spatial politics and urban renewal: How do economic and non-economic values depend on and co-constitute each other in different urban contexts? In response, the contributors to this special issue build on recent critical reassessments of value; they explore how the spatial and cultural politics of value unfolds in contemporary urban environments globally. They examine cases that traverse Poland, South Africa, Malaysia, Germany, and The Netherlands. The papers demonstrate a theoretical and empirically engaged concern with themes such as the cultural dimensions of place-making processes in contemporary cities; how identity, memory, heritage, and value-making processes may matter for the production of urban spaces today through sensing; aesthetic reorganizations of places, movements, and interactions with urban matters; and through storytelling. Taking up the theme of urban valuation with a multisensory approach has prompted the contributors to explore the multiple and translocal ways through which urban valuations unfold, are performed, and are experienced. This approach reveals the multiple valuations of spaces—not only economic but also symbolic—that inform the struggles for social and spatial justice in cities across the world as well as their scholarly examinations.
