Book synopsis

The book will identify landscape scars as significant contemporary cultural tools for memory work and future orientation. The metaphor 'landscape scars' highlights the flipside of industrial materiality in the shape of contamination, abandonment and dramatic landscape transformation. Landscape scars are examined as possible sites of healing and reconciliation as well as important triggers of heritage, memory and identity. The empirical basis is original research focusing on a number of selected sites, primarily in northern Europe. The contemporary situations in each of these places form a point of departure, while the historical perspective is decisive for the book's narrative and analysis.
