“…Der Themenkomplex ,Erinnern und verräumlichte Erinnerungen' ist in der Kultur-und Sozialgeographie zu einem wichtigen Beschäftigungsfeld geworden, das aus vielfältigen Blickwinkeln betrachtet wird (Maus, 2015). Zwar kann das Konzept des kulturellen Gedächtnisses im deutschsprachigen Raum nicht nur im wissenschaftlichen Bereich, sondern auch in gesellschaftlichen Erinnerungsdebatten als durchaus populär bezeichnet werden, im internationalen Kontext aber werden theoretische Überlegungen in erster Linie bei Nora gemacht, viel seltener bei A. und J. Assmann.…”

Dazu greifen sie fast ausnahmslos den Begriff des kulturellen Gedächtnisses auf und reichern ihn mit weiteren Konzepten an: Petermann (2007) fügt ihm zum Beispiel ein Desiderat verschie-dener Ritualtheorien hinzu, Maus (2015) u. a. die Praxistheorie von Theodore Schatzki (1996) und Leipold (2022) die Idee des alltäglichen Geographie-Machens (Werlen, 1999). Kübler (2021) bildet eine Ausnahme.…”

Abstract. The study of places of memory is an expanding field in international geography, in which the concept of cultural memory by Aleida and Jan Assmann, which has its origins in German-language cultural studies, has received little attention. However, in a concentration of the concept on the specific concerns of a cultural-geographical study of places of memory lies the possibility – especially as an important intellectual style of German Theory – to explicitly ask about the mechanisms of origin and function of places of memory. The basic assumption of the concept is that cultural memory functions as a medial storehouse of experiences from the past. Based on the assumption that places of memory cannot be a storage, but only an anchor of memories, the article develops a space-oriented conception of cultural memory spaces derived from the basic features of cultural memory. The following four characteristics are elaborated: Cultural memory spaces are (1) dynamic and (2) present-related (3) supports of memory, (4) in which individual memories intertwine with cultural memory.

“…First, a number of scholars have highlighted the role of landscape in the production and stabilisation of memory (Holdsworth 2022;Legg 2007;Maus 2015;McEwen et al 2017;Storm 2021). For example, emphasis has been placed on the relationship between landscape and collective memory of identity belonging to territory and nationality (Paasi 2020;Tolia-Kelly 2016;Wylie 2007).…”

This article assays geographical research into nuclear cultures, and cognate conversations in atomic heritage, toxic waste studies, and memory and landscape studies, as one way to develop the notion of nuclear memory. In doing so, we survey how geographers and social scientists have sought to think and communicate memory of nuclear things through three specific modes: the archival, the aesthetic, and the speculative. Our central argument is that nuclear memory provides a theoretical orientation for geographers to engage with alternative possibilities for thinking nuclear waste futures besides anthropocentric notions of common sense.

In this study, how landscape architecture students associate the traces of the past of a given site with their conceptual approaches and spatial components in the design process is discussed. Karagöz Square, located in the city center of Trabzon, has undergone dramatic and mostly negative changes from the past to the present in functional, visual and semantic terms. the area which is under urban transformation process in order to revitalize, to make it a part of urban life and in this context to regain its old functions has been given to students as the subject of design within the scope of Environmental Design Project IV course. Within the scope of this paper, how students investigated the past of design area and physical and social dimensions of collective memory, how they reflected on their conceptual approaches and main design decisions, and then through which spatial components and usage types these decisions were reflected on projects are determined and explained. In a design group of 9 students, 5 designs, conceptual approaches of which were based on the history of the city and the design area and traces left in collective memory were discussed in detail. As a result of the content analysis of the presentations and reports of the students it was determined that some students were inspired by the past functional (such as socialization) and semantic dimensions of the area (such as entertainment and play) or the physical components of the area (such as olive trees, amusement park-entertainment equipment). The other students were inspired by the historical features of the city of Trabzon (the empires of the past) or the traces of cultural features in the society such as Trabzonspor and determined their design approaches based on these. In line with these, spatial components and usage types-activities in the final products are detailed in this study. How collective memory can be a tool for determining conceptual approaches in landscape design is also discussed.
