| Abstract | Memory can differ in many ways. It can present itself in a landscape, a certain place, a certain name, a manuscript or oral tradition for example. It can be interpreted and it can influence history and memory on its own. So it is no surprise that this topic can be found in various disciplines. The papers of this session illustrate how houses of worship and religious communities functioned as a repository of memory. It will be shown how communities themselves may function as lieux de memoire. |
