The Historical Geographic Context of Remembering and Forgetting
• Memory formation as a process of remembering the particulars of one’s lived experiences • in a specific place, city, neighborhood, home and or
household• As we move from on place to another from one
generation to the next
• The forgotten past as those things, people and events that we choose to not do, remember or talk about
• Generational transmission of memory, secrets and silences
