From the commemoration of September 11 to the Holocaust memorial in
Berlin to the 2004 unveiling of the National World War II Memorial
in Washington D.C., recent decades have witnessed a substantial
increase in the number of new public memorials built in both Europe
and the United States. This volume considers the contemporary
explosion of public commemoration in terms of changed cultural and
social practices of mourning, memory, and public feeling. Positing
memorials as the physical and visual embodiment of our affective
responses to loss, Erika Doss focuses especially on the memorial
ephemera of flowers, candles, balloons, and cards placed at sites
of tragic death in order to better comprehend how grief is mediated
in contemporary commemorative cultures.
