This call for papers seeks to assemble a conversation among critical scholars interested in more-than-representational (affective) ways of engaging with places of memory and memorialization. Paper contributions grounded in theoretical, methodological, and experiential approaches are welcome. Themes include, but are not limited to heritage architectures; performativity and spatial narratives; critical museum studies and space; hauntings, ghosts, and deathscapes; thanatourism and heritage economies; navigating emotion, embodiment, and subjectivity; methodological approaches; ethical dilemmas. We are particularly interested in interdisciplinary and disciplinary approaches grounded in heritage studies, museum studies, and architecture.
