Abstract

If we think about how history becomes important to us personally, how an event from the past becomes embodied, we venture into the domain of memory. For memory surely is our personal echo chamber to the past. There are the obvious remains of the past, the archives of important objects and the historical records, but even when we think about our knowledge of these, how we approach and understand them, we must also think about how we perform the equation between past and present, between materials and events that shape them and how our performative relationship to history is often based on what remains, but also on what remains differently as it is embodied through the act of remembering.
