Salve Regina University presents the 10th Annual Conference on Cultural and Historic Preservation
September 14-16, 2006 |
Commemorative spaces and their accompanying rituals represent windows into nineteenth-century American culture. Religion, patriotism, and sentiment were integral components not just in the creation of National Parks, battlefields and landscape cemeteries, but also in contemporary movements in urban planning, interior design and architecture. Frequently, efforts to remember and perpetuate stories, persons or events resulted in competing versions of the same memories, creating contested and contentious debates that have reverberated into the present. Salve Regina's 10th Annual Conference on Cultural and Historic Preservation will focus on this intersection of memory and place as well as on the preservation of these places in the modern age.
