Reanimating Industrial Spaces explores the relationships between
people and the places of former industry through approaches that
incorporate and critique memory-work. The chapters in this volume
consider four broad questions: What is the relationship between
industrial heritage and memory? How is memory involved in the
process of place-making in regards to industrial spaces? What are
the strengths and pitfalls of conducting memory-work? What can be
learned from cross-disciplinary perspectives and methods? The
contributors have created a set of diverse case studies (including
iron-smelting in Uganda, Puerto Rican sugar mills and concrete
factories in Albania) which examine differing socio-economic
contexts and approaches to industrial spaces both in the past and
in contemporary society. A range of memory-work is also
illustrated: from ethnography, oral history, digital technologies,
excavation, and archival and documentary research.
