Places of Memory delves into the profound and multifaceted phenomenon of spatialized practices of remembrance, exploring its pivotal role in shaping societies across time, from prehistoric eras to the present. This groundbreaking initiative brings together a diverse group of researchers from various complementary fields, fostering a holistic understanding of memory. By adopting a diachronic perspective, the book offers invaluable insights into the diverse range of human and social reactions to memory, encompassing aspects such as remembering, the loss of memory, reclaiming memories, and even the remembrance of events that may not have occurred.

The contributions to this volume build upon Pierre Nora's concept of "lieux des memoire" (places of memory), emphasizing that memory is not merely stored in these physical spaces but is actively activated through human engagement. The volume explores the intricate process of creating memories through the organization and utilization of landscapes and spaces, considering the multiplicity of meanings associated with the past. This thoughtful reflection leads to a profound exploration of how social identities are shaped, reaffirmed, strengthened, and transformed through the founding, change, and reorganization of places and spaces of memory within the cultural landscape.

Through its comprehensive analysis, Places of Memory sheds light on the intricate interplay between memory, space, and society, providing a rich tapestry of insights that will captivate scholars, researchers, and anyone interested in the complex dynamics of human memory and its impact on the world around us.
