Reviewing Geographies of Memory/Forgetting

Abstract

In this paper I seek to review the literature regarding the spaces of memory and forgetting outside the geographical core of the Western discipline. This takes in two bodies of literature. First, works from outside the geographical discipline on memory and forgetting, as conceived at both the individual and the collective scale. Second, I move beyond the scope of ‘developed’ countries to look at works on memory in India, where subaltern, communal, and rural memories have been explored.
