Description

The Art of Forgetting by Adrian Forty and Susanne Küchler explores how monuments shape collective memories. This book examines the interplay between social remembering and object worlds, highlighting the significance of materiality in monuments. By tracing the process through which monuments give rise to shared cultural forms of memory, the authors reveal a complex relationship between memorials and individual experiences. The book fills a gap in anthropological literature by addressing topics such as physical space, material objects, and commemorative practice. With its interdisciplinary approach, this book offers a significant contribution to an emerging field, providing insights into how monuments influence our understanding of the past.
