This book tells the story of monuments in two cities that share a
parallel and turbulent history: Strasbourg and Poznan. With the
Franco-Prussian War begins the well-known story of the destruction
and erection of memorials. This book not only explains the
mechanisms related to how memorials have functioned in the past,
but also contributes to our understanding of current modes of their
perception. It analyzes their material shape, the problem of
affect, and their meaning, not only in relation to the political
context and the work of memory. This book shows how the form of
monuments reflects the social understanding of such basic questions
as the perception of nature, gender issues and the image of those
who are in power, and how, and in which aspects, those kind of
objects actually change the city space we live in.
