Death, Memorialization and Deviant Spaces by Matthew Spokes
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.
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 theoryThey 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. -- Annotation ©2018 * (protoview.com) *
