Spatial Aesthetics of Memory: Place, Perception, and Performative Experience

Memory is deeply connected with space, shaping the ways individuals perceive, experience, and assign meaning to their surroundings. The spatial aesthetics of memory explores how places serve as repositories of personal and collective histories, influencing emotional responses, cultural identities, and social interactions. Beyond their physical characteristics, spaces acquire significance through lived experiences, sensory perceptions, and acts of remembrance that reinterpret the past. Through a performative lens, memory is actively produced and re-enacted through movement, ritual, storytelling, and practices. Examining the relationship between place, perception, and performative experience offers valuable insights into how environments embody memory, foster belonging, and contribute to the construction of individual and collective identities. Spatial Aesthetics of Memory: Place, Perception, and Performative Experience explores memory as a performative, embodied, and spatially situated process, with a particular focus on site-specific practices, audiovisuality, and arts-based research. It examines how memory is constructed, mediated, and re-signified through sound, image, movement, space, and technological environments. This book covers topics such as art and design, scenography, and visual media, and is a useful resource for artists, sociologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
