Remembering and Forgetting the Ancient City by Sam Ottewillsoulsby
This volume tackles the subject of the survival and transformation of the ancient city through memory, drawing upon the methodological and theoretical lenses of memory studies and resilience theory to view the way the Greco-Roman city lived and vanished for the generations that separate the present from antiquity.
The real power of this volume is that these changes through time are not seen as mistakes obfuscating a ‘true’ classical heritage in need of being saved from later accretions through excavation and correction, but as indicators of how thesemonuments and memories serve a dynamic role within successive generations’ cognitive maps of their environment* Greece and Rome *
