How do some monuments become so socially powerful that people seek
to destroy them? After ignoring monuments for years, why must we
now commemorate public trauma, but not triumph, with a monument? To
explore these and other questions, Robert S. Nelson and Margaret
Olin assembled essays from leading scholars about how monuments
have functioned throughout the world and how globalization has
challenged Western notions of the "monument."
Examining how monuments preserve memory, these essays demonstrate
how phenomena as diverse as ancient drum towers in China and ritual
whale-killings in the Pacific Northwest serve to represent and
negotiate time. Connecting that history to the present with an
epilogue on the World Trade Center, "Monuments and Memory, Made and
Unmade" is pertinent not only for art historians but for anyone
interested in the turbulent history of monuments--a history that is
still very much with us today.
