Description:
As memory and heritage studies continue to grow within inter- and trans-disciplinary spaces, the spatial dynamics of our relationship simultaneously evolve. Both memory and heritage center around concepts geographers often find core to our discipline: place, landscape, regional and national identity, nation and state-building, travel and tourism, urban planning, and development. While certainly important to the broader study of geography, the discipline does not solely bind and hold these concepts. Regardless, neither memory nor heritage studies as fully emerged fields of study in their own right rest upon geography (or any single discipline) and have increasingly transitioned from their interdisciplinary beginnings towards what many hope to see as their transdisciplinary future. Even stepping back and exploring memory and heritage as concepts leads to the inevitable branching of conflicting and pluralized definitions as we wield the terms to discuss processes of shaping, interpreting, communicating, obscuring, and reworking how the past is framed, the intersecting space-time of material culture, or the social consciousness or constructed-ness of past experiences. Whether studying (or shaping) these concepts as social processes, material discourses, institutionalized structures, or community values, such work spans far beyond the geographer.
