Project description
This research aims to historicize Western European practices and concepts of ‘sites of memory’ as places where
the memory of a specific historical event is anchored. Through the case studies of the battlefield of Waterloo and
the Berliner Stadtschloss an analysis will be made of dominant ideas about historical sites as establishing a
special connection with the past.
