윌리엄 트레버의 『운명의 어릿광대들』은 아일랜드와 영국의 오랜 갈등 관계에서 발생한 폭력과 테러 그리고 그 과정 속에서 파괴된 개인들의 삶을 그리고 있다. 본 글에서는 트레버가 상상하는 아일랜드에 대한 은유적 공간이자 소설의 주 무대인 한 공간이 정치적인 소용돌이에 휘말려 파괴됨에 따라, 그 공간과 긴밀하게 연결 되었던 등장인물과 그들이 전하는 가족서사 또한 와해되는 과정을 추적하고 있다. 또 이 과정에서 발생한 정당화될 수 없는 아일랜드 테러와 폭력에 대해 트레버가 보여주는 비판과 비전에 대해 분석하고 있다.

Place memory is a new way of seeing as a new concept of cultural landscape research. Various research works and discussions have recently spread in landscape studies. In particular, the, which is visible and material, is a medium in which collective memory is embedded in place memory. The purpose of this study is to extract places of memory from the collective memory of residents of Janghang, Korea, and to visualize it through semantic relations. For this purpose, semi-standardized interviews (34 persons) were conducted with residents, and frequency analysis and semantic network analysis were used. As a result, the interviewees recalled only 127 places in Janghang that existed between 1920 and 2010. Locals remember the city based on places of memory. This means that the city could be illustrated according to specific places that are frequently mentioned. For instance, the top 25 places (top 20%) explain 65.6% of all the places in the city, and the top 39 places (top 30.8%) could describe 78.7% of the places. Some places are referred to more frequently when they are in the city’s symbolic landscape, and the city’s identity is projected on them. Some places were mentioned only infrequently but were nevertheless very important places by which to understand Janghang. These places of memory have not appeared in the documentary records before, which shows the value of the collective memory of the locals and the effectiveness of the interviewing method. In the clustering of the semantic network, six groups of places appeared. The local residents remembered the modern industrial city and recalled it in connection with the sites of daily life. This shows the possibility of looking not only at public memory and famous heritage as a macro history but also at daily life and meaningful places as a micro history about locals. This study has significance as an initial research that identified and visualized places of memory from the perspective of local residents. Such an approach could be useful in the study of everyday life and the conservation of modern heritage.

This essay presents an anthropological approach to embodied skills in brand rituals. In an ethnographic account of an everyday domestic practice of men’s shaving, this essay argues that men who apply skill to ritualized shaving practices evoke particular sensorial dimensions that elicit certain memories and ideals that situate time and place differently for them. Rather than evaluate ritual semiotically for its signs and symbols, this study “brings into being” (Ingold 2013) skilled human activity with branded material in ritual as it explores sensory awareness and environmental-temporal consumer perceptions of time and place. As such, this essay examines the less obvious and less frequently addressed issue of time and place as they occur in embodied practices of everyday consumption. The human body is suggested as a particular consumption site for applying skillful embodiment and a new conception of ritual.

Buram training course remembers the place as a comradeship and specific training landscape for insiders, although not an official training ground. Playground means a rootage of athletes. Dormitories and champion house show the place of communication and rest as an ordinary life. Besides, gold medal, a symbol of perspiration and impression, and Dr. Min, the father of the center, are also important places of memory. This paper attempt to reveal the intrinsic values of authenticity and integrity of the modern cultural landscape. This study is an initial research about the place of memory. It will help to understand not only cultural heritage but also urban and landscape.
