This book bridges theoretical gaps that exist between the
meta-concepts of memory, place and identity by positioning its lens
on the emplaced practices of commemoration and the remembrance of
war and conflict. This book examines how diverse publics relate to
their wartime histories through engagements with everyday
collective memories, in differing places. Specifically addressing
questions of place-making, displacement and identity, contributions
shed new light on the processes of commemoration of war in everyday
urban facades and within generations of families and national
communities. Contributions seek to clarify how we connect with
memories and places of war and conflict. The spatial and narrative
manifestations of attempts to contextualise wartime memories of
loss, trauma, conflict, victory and suffering are refracted through
the roles played by emotion and identity construction in the
shaping of post-war remembrances. This book offers a
multidisciplinary perspective, with insights from history, memory
studies, social psychology, cultural and urban geography, to
contextualise memories of war and their 'use' by national
governments, perpetrators, victims and in family histories.
This book reframes commemoration through distinctly geographical
lenses, locating it within experiential and digital worlds. It
interrogates the role of power in representations of memory and
shows how experiences of commemoration sit within, alongside and in
contrast to its official normative forms. The book charts how
memories, places and experiences of commemoration play out and
have, or have not, changed in and through a digital world. Key to
the book's exploration is a new epistemology of memory, underpinned
by an embodied research approach.

Memory studies is a nascent and multidisciplinary research field,
drawing from an impressive array of qualitative investigative
methods deployed to do memory research. The authors in this
collection offer an explicit engagement with the 'doing' of memory
research. The contributions demonstrate how attention to
methodology reveals rich insights about memory and its links to
place and identity.
