Forgetting and Remembering Children’s Heritage
conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-24, 17:34 authored by Katherine Darian-SmithKatherine Darian-SmithIn this presentation I will discuss some examples of children’s cultural heritage to interrogate the ways that the past may be remembered and forgotten, and what this might mean for the role of heritage in contemporary society. Childhood is a transitional stage in the life cycle, and is experienced in both universal and individually unique ways. The cultural heritage of childhood is predominantly collected, archived and interpreted by adults and the voices of children are often forgotten in that process. I will explore children’s heritage in relation to social and cultural memory, including discussion of the ‘everyday’ forgetting (and sometimes re-remembering) of childhood.
