Territory and Memory: The Palimpsest Concept
The 'Territory and Memory' chapter explores how landscapes are not just geographical coordinates, but containers of human history. Through the concept of place-making, physical sites become central to our collective identity. Landmarks, monuments, and urban architecture act as a palimpsest, showing layers of history that communities navigate daily. Conflicts often arise when different groups claim the same territory for opposing memorial purposes. In the digital age, this connection between geography and history is shifting, as global narratives challenge traditional local anchors. Understanding this ensures we respect the complex layers embedded in our environment.
