Abstract in another language
The paper examines the role of the senses in conflicting urban memories through a study of the Smithfield Market area in London. It investigates which histories are silenced in cultural and communicative memories and which ones are mobilized to construct a narrative of Smithfield as a liminal place that can resist and shape broader processes of change. Beyond discussing how a better understanding of sensory memories might inform the development of the site, the paper aims to reflect more broadly on two questions: how to widen historical approaches to the study of conflicting urban memories through interdisciplinary attention to the senses; and, by comparing and relating the case studies to other areas in and beyond London, how to conceptualize uneven distributions of conflictual memories in urban spaces.
