Introduction -- Memory, space/place, tourism : paradigms and problems -- Unpacking "dark" tourism -- Consumption, meaning, commemoration -- Marking memorial spaces, making dialogic memoryscapes -- The material culture of violence and commemoration in public display -- The social life of things : material and visual culture of travel and personal historiography -- Conclusion: The contest of meaning and cultures of commemoration.
Memorial sites are vernacular spaces that are continuously negotiated, constructed, and reconstructed into meaningful places. Through in-depth interviews, photographs, and graffiti, the author compares the 9/11 memorial with other hurtful sites to show how tourists construct knowledge through performative activities.
