The Life and Times of Community

The representation of community entails a particular imagination of time, simultaneously chronological and subjective. The subjective sense of time is a central feature of heritage representational practice, which utilizes reconstruction and spectacle to supplement the chronological time of linear historiography with a plurality of personalized cameos. A particular audio-visual heritage exhibition, Black Gold at the Rhondda Heritage Park, is discussed in terms of its representation of `community time'. This is discussed in relation to Ricoeur's theory of narrative identity, in order to show the dependence of the trope of community on a particular homogenizing concept of time. Some of the reasons why Black Gold imagines community in the particular ways described are suggested, with respect to the dialogic relations between these texts and the world `outside' text in the local `structure of feeling' and socio-economic context.
