Abstract

This contribution responds to some issues raised by the papers in this issue by contrasting approaches to monumentality that emphasise scale and massiveness with those that concentrate on the experiential qualities of structures, and their capacity to engender memory. It is argued that there is no absolute distinction between large monuments and more intimate constructions and that monumentality can be an active force in society, rather than merely reflecting political organisation.
