The plastic site is characterised both by its resilience, its form never entirely altered from an earlier mould, and by its malleability, which ensures that whatever persists is inevitably transformed. Embodied in its present configuration are the many moments that have produced it over time, and these are continually supplemented and modified. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eSurveying examples from Paris, Algiers and Marseille, and media as diverse as literature, film, photography, blogs and video games, \u003ci\u003ePlastic Pasts\u003c\/i\u003e interrogates how different communities and cultural producers have grappled with the present past in space as an enduring and dynamic memory. It argues that understanding sited memory as plastic entails recognising a multiplicity of immutable pasts that exist in a permanent state of ongoing evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2023-11-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789819956159\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-99-5616-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210.0cm x148.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 297.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44523311267980,"sku":"9789819956159","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789819956159.jpg?v=1758727958","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789819956159","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
