First sentence: HAVING sketched out broad theoretical issues that frame this project, I now lay out the landscape of memory in the Julian March, that is, the terrain shaped by historical processes and, in turn, the field in which the production of memory and history occurs Some anthropological accounts of displacement, loss, and nostalgia have offered superb microstudies focusing on individual houses and neighborhoods as sites of remembrance and social architecture (Bahloul, 1996; Hirschon 1998).
