2nd International Seminar on Sites of Memory and Tourism, which will address the touristic uses of memory.
Date: 9 and 10 October 2024.
Place: Gernika-Lumo, Bizkaia (Basque Country) Spain.
The practice of tourism in places of memory emerges as a dynamic that enhances the impact of the sites themselves. A greater number of visitors, and a greater diversity in their typology, increases the site's own complexities and makes it difficult, in turn, for management to consider questions that escape its singular symbolic nature. How are these places presented? What mechanisms of mediation and interpretation are necessary? Who should be addressed? In what language? With what objectives?
