Memorial landscapes: analytic questions and metaphors

Abstract: Over the past two decades, geographers have probed the intersection of collective memory and urban space. Their sustained interest in the subject reflects an understanding of the social condition of commemoration and the important role that space plays in the process and politics of collective memory. Along with other critical social scientists, geographers envision these public symbols as part of larger cultural landscapes that reflect and legitimate the normative social order. A review of the extant literatu… Show more

“…Till studied the debate in the process of national memory reconstruction in Berlin, and believes that collective memory is built on the basis of personal and socially shared experiences [31]. Human geographers regard memorial spaces as a narrative medium [32] and scrutinize memorial landscapes through three conceptual lenses that may be understood via the metaphors of 'text', 'arena', and 'performance' [33]. The most recent views, such as the research perspectives of physical and performance, are reflected in memory studies.…”

“…Unlike many memory studies scholars, geographers understand place-making as a process of constructing and helping us understand the world (adams et al 2001; cresswell 2006), including embodied personal and social memory practices at multiple scales (KuusisTo-arponen 2009;. In particular, geographers pay attention to the sociospatial processes associated with place and memory according to inter/textuality, arenas of contestation, and landscape representation and performativity (dwyer and alderman 2008;Till 2003).…”

“…This corresponds with practice-informed views of landscape as a way of seeing (Cosgrove, 1998) or a place of human dwelling (Ingold, 2000). Landscape, Dwyer and Alderman (2008) argue, is applied in metaphorical ways in geographies of memory: as semiotic texts, as cultural arenas, and as constituted in commemorative performances. These metaphors help to describe the tension between memory as represented in both meaningful materialities and social practice, but as a concept they remain unspecific.…”
