| Abstract | Moving beyond western, eurocentric visions of memory, this two-part series explores unchartered academic territories both in a geographical and a methodological sense. Adopting interdisciplinary approaches to land- and seascapes of the Eastern Occident and the Global East, the panelists examine both textual and pictorial representations of the fabrication and exchange of memory within urban communities. The second panel addresses the issue of creative memory policies in the urban eastern borderlands of Western Christianity. The Bohemian towns and their Central European counterparts receive a focus both via anti-Hussite mercantile (re)membering and through the role of saints in recall traditions. Finally, the closing paper examines the partly fictional memory discourse attached to the public worship of the Eucharist in the metropolitan contexts of Hungary and Poland. |
