Rövid leírás:

How can we understand the relationship between death and heritage? Using three case studies, Death, Memorialization and Deviant Spaces adapts contemporary spatial theory to develop a new conceptual toolbox, complementing existing work on dark tourism and difficult heritage, to explore the multifarious ways that memorialization functions.

Hosszú leírás:

This book offers an ethnographic exploration of three sites of infamous atrocity and their differing memorialization. ?Dark tourism? research has studied the consumerization of spaces associated with death and barbarity, whilst ?difficult heritage? has looked at politicized, national debates that surround the preservation of death. This book contributes to these debates by applying spatial theory on a scalar level, particularly through the work of Henri Lefebvre. It uses escalating case studies to situate memorialization, and the multifarious demands of politics, consumption and community, within a framework that rearticulates ?lived?, ?perceived? and ?conceived? aspects of deviant spaces ranging from the small (a bench) to the very large (a city).

The first case study, the Tyburn gallows site in York, uses Lefebvre?s notion of ?theatrical space? to contextualize the role of performativity in memorialization. The second, Number 25 Cromwell Street in Gloucester, builds on this by exploring the absence of memorialization through Lefebvre?s concept of ?contradictory space? and the impact this has on consumption. The third expands to consider the city as a problematic memorial, here focusing on the political subjectivities of Dresden ? rebuilt following the devastation of the Second World War ? and its contemporary associations with neo-Nazi and anti-fascist protests.

Ultimately, by examining the issue of scale in heritage, the book seeks to develop a new way of unpacking and understanding the heteroglossic nature of deviant space and memorialization.

Exploring different ideas on how to deal with the physical remnants of past atrocities, Spokes, Denham, and Lehmann identify overlaps and posit ways forward for understanding difficult heritage and dark tourism through the prism of spatial theory. They also suggest departures for further research into the intersection between death, spatiality, and infamy. Their case studies are The Tyburn Gallows in York, Number 25 Cromwell Street in Gloucester, and Neumarkt in Dresden.
