Desde 2014 ha habido a lo largo de Europa diversos programas conmemorativos de los acontecimientos que marcaron la Gran Guerra de 1914-1918. Uno de estos eventos fue la temprana exposición de fotografías Paris 14-18, la guerre au quotidien que tuvo lugar en la Galerie des Bibliothéques de París. Todas las fotografías habían sido tomadas por Charles Lansiaux, y versaban sobre la vida cotidiana en la ciudad desde el reclutamiento y salida de los soldados franceses a las celebraciones de la victoria en 1918. La exposición señalaba, de manera importante, el hecho de que la Gran Guerra fue el primer conflicto en el que las experiencias de la población civil fueron visualmente documentadas de manera extensa. Además, como se indicaba en la publicidad de la exposición, «La presencia recurrente de grupos de niños en estas fotografías revela el nuevo lugar que les corresponde en los comienzos del siglo XX». Tomando como guía esta exposición, este artículo investigará las experiencias de los niños, durante el tiempo de guerra, en una ciudad inglesa, concretamente Birmingham, y cómo fueron visualmente captados. En particular, nos centraremos en documentar y analizar las conexiones entre la representación de la infancia en guerra, la propaganda y la promoción del patriotismo.

“…Placemaking verstehe ich in Anlehnung an Doreen Massey (1994) als umstrittene Verknüpfung lokaler und potentiell globaler Prozesse -in diesem Fall der Seligsprechung der katholischen Kirche und der EU-Europäisierung -zu einer Assemblage, die Geschichtskonstruktionen und Zukunftsentwürfe verbindet (Massey, 1995). Diese Assemblage kann, den Vorstellungen religiöser Akteure gemäß, auch nicht-menschliche Aktanten wie Götter, Geister und Heilige umfassen (Orsi, 2010).…”

Kurzfassung. The initiation of the beatification process of catholic stigmatist Therese Neumann of Konnersreuth/Bavaria (1898-1962 in February 2005 marks the beginning of the touristic marketing of her birth place in the context of EU-regionalization. In the case concerned, I argue, the Postsecular emerges in the evolution of new forms of EU-regional governance and in the controversial valorisation of a catholic popular cult as "cultural heritage". I examine postsecular placemaking in Konnersreuth as a process, in which actors of the local civil society, the official church and the EU bureaucracy stage Therese Neumann by the valorisation of her material heritage, by sacralization and profanation. In doing this, actors renegotiate boundaries and transitions between the religious and the secular sphere, as well as between the regional, the global and the singular universality of grace. In their productions of space, local actors mediate between tourist and spiritual experiences of authenticity, between the popular demand for "heritage" and the awaiting for the religious event of grace. The postsecular, I argue, emerges in the insistence of parts of the local civil society to authorize the deceased Therese Neumann herself as an -though unwilling -supranatural actor in the placemaking process and in their legitimation of their own (un-)willingness to participate in the sacralization and touristification of "their" heritage with the will of the stigmatist. The article shows, how religious belief can play the role of a ressource as well as a disruptive factor in postsecular placemaking processes and neoliberal "governing by community".

“…Set against this background, 'local historical work demonstrates a concern for, and a potential to foster, a contemporary sense of local and regional identity, distinctiveness and consciousness' (Jackson, 2008, p.364; see also Massey, 1995). Matless and Cameron (2007) show how this concern for the local was evident in the activities of Marietta Pallis and friends; a circle of educated women interested in the area of Hickling, Norfolk, in the early twentieth century.…”

“…These historical representations can provide people with an important link to the 'roots' of a place or (for some) their forbearers, thus contributing to a sense of belonging. However, if place identity is to a large extent based on the past (Massey, 1995) then it follows that changes are likely to be judged partly according to how they 'fit in' with what is customary in that place (Huigen and Meijering, 2005). Similarly, the desire to preserve a place's historical elements can be understood as an attempt to retain or reassert (one version of) its identity.…”

Local history as productive nostalgia? Change, continuity and sense of place in rural England

Local history groups are often negatively associated with a tendency to indulge in nostalgic practices that yearn for a romanticised past and propagate resistance to change. Their role in local politics and power networks (particularly in relation to planning and development processes) has also been critiqued as exacerbating issues of social inequality and exclusion. While not contesting the realities of such arguments, this paper adds nuance to such debates by using the notion of 'productive' or 'mobile' nostalgia to explore possibilities for more positive renderings of local history and heritage activities. Empirical evidence from qualitative research in a rural village in Norfolk, England, is drawn on to demonstrate the role of these practices in providing a sense of continuity amid a continuously changing locale through the reassertion of place identities and attachments. Although by no means apolitical, this process need not necessarily be one of preservationism and resistance to change, but can be a mechanism through which residents are able to accept, or even welcome, changes to the social and physical constitution of their village. The paper also critically considers the value of productive nostalgia as a concept through which to explore local history practices and wider heritage movements.
