Methodologies
The examination of social memory and heritage tourism has grown considerably over the
past few decades as scholars have critically re-examined the relationships between past
memories and present actions at international, national, and local scales. Methodological
innovation and reflection have accompanied theoretical advances as researchers strive to
understand representations, experiences, thoughts, emotions, and identities of the various
actors involved in the reproduction of social memory and heritage landscapes.
Social Memory and Heritage Tourism Methodologies describes and demonstrates
innovations – including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed method approaches – for ana-
lyzing the process and politics of remembering and touring the past through place. An
introductory chapter looks at the history of social memory and heritage tourism research
and the particular challenges posed by these fields of study. In subsequent chapters, the
reader is lead through the varying methodologies employed by presenting them in the
context of an in-depth case study from a range of geographical locations. The resulting
volume showcases innovative research in social memory and heritage tourism and pro-
vides the reader with insights into how they can successfully conduct their own research
while avoiding common pitfalls.
This title will be useful reading for scholars, professionals, and students in tourism,
geography, anthropology, and museum studies who are preparing to conduct research on
the reproduction of social memory, in particular landscapes and places, or are interested
in investigating heritage tourism practices and representations.

Contemporary geographies of leisure, tourism and mobility
Series Editor:

nomics, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand
The aim of this series is to explore and communicate the intersections and rela-
tionships between leisure, tourism, and human mobility within the social
sciences.
It will incorporate both traditional and new perspectives on leisure and
tourism from contemporary geography, e.g., notions of identity, representation,
and culture, while also providing for perspectives from cognate areas such as
anthropology, cultural studies, gastronomy and food studies, marketing, policy
studies and political economy, regional and urban planning, and sociology,
within the development of an integrated field of leisure and tourism studies.
Also, increasingly, tourism and leisure are regarded as steps in a continuum
of human mobility. Inclusion of mobility in the series offers the prospect to
examine the relationship between tourism and migration, the sojourner, educa-
tional travel, and second home and retirement travel phenomena.
The series comprises two strands:

The examination of social memory and heritage tourism has grown considerably
over the past few decades (see for example Bajc, 2006) as scholars have criti-
cally (re)queried the relationships between past memories and present actions at
multiple scales. Methodological innovation and reflection have accompanied
theoretical advances as researchers strive to understand representations, experi-
ences, thoughts, emotions, and identities of various actors involved in the repro-
duction of social memory and heritage landscapes (DeLyser, 2004; Hoelscher
and Alderman, 2004). This has led to the unearthing of new data sources and the
application of new methods – including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed
method approaches – for analyzing the process and politics of remembering and
touring the past through place.
This book is a reflection of this exciting moment of innovation in social
memory and heritage tourism research. Designed for scholars in the social sci-
ences and humanities, this volume prepares researchers to investigate the repro-
duction of social memory and heritage tourism practices and representations.
Building upon theoretical developments concerning social memory’s connec-
tions to representation, emotion, thought, and identity, the contributors consider
research methods that examine memory as a set of dynamic social practices.
They do this through modifying existing methods, developing new ones, and
exploring new data sources. In each chapter, the authors introduce, explain, and
critically discuss the methods and data they use through an in-depth case study.
In most methodology texts, there is a tendency to abstract methods from actual
research – the only exceptions being brief examples drawn from the authors’
own experiences using a particular methodology. We feel the approach put forth
in this volume allows readers to better envision what they may face when enter-
ing the field or interpreting their data.
In the pages that follow, we will provide an overview of broad themes in
social memory and heritage research. This review of some key concepts is inten-
tionally brief as the focus of this work centers on methods and methodology. But
before proceeding with the chapters themselves, we pause and elaborate a few
foundational points concerning memory and remembering.
While this book’s case studies interrogate memory and heritage tourism in a
variety of ways, the editors and authors agree that all memory is social. Even the
2 A. E. Potter and E. A. Modlin, Jr
memories that we view as personal are framed though our interactions with
others. Within research on social memory, there is a strong focus on the devel-
opment, maintenance, and contestation of memories that are shared by social/
cultural collectives (Antze and Lambek, 1996; Hodgkin and Radstone, 2006;
Lowenthal, 1979). While social memory implies a knowledge base that exists
above the individual and is associated with a specific group, it is through acts by
individuals that such memories persevere (Halbwachs, 1980: 48; Fentress and
Wickham, 1992; Hobsbawm and Ranger, 1983; Thelen, 1989: 1127; Shields,
2004: 9).
Memory is also strongly tied to identity. What we remember and how we
remember connects us to groups. Part of this comes from sharing a set of experi-
ences with others and part of this is a result of socialization. Along this latter line
of thought, Fentress and Wickham (1992: 7) argue, “When we remember, we
represent ourselves to ourselves and to those around us.” Yet, how we identify
ourselves when we remember the past is not a straight line from individual to a
single social identity. Each person can identify with multiple groups and this
challenges simple notions of how a person remembers the past. Some research-
ers note that while an individual might identify strongly with a particular social
group, they often have multiple, conflicting narratives about the past (Smith,
2004; Swedenburg, 1995; Gramsci, 1971; Coser, 1992). Indeed, it is often
through studying the “working out” of these competing memories and narratives
– the dominant, even hegemonic, memories versus shared memories of subaltern
groups and personal memory – that insights on the social nature of memory
come forth (for a few examples see Hangman, 2012; Stoler and Strassler, 2000;
McPherson, 2003).
This conception points to the subjective nature of memory, which is the
social space for most of the case studies in this edited work (Harvey, 2001).
While issues of memory justice – who is worth remembering, whose memories
matter – are concerns for many scholars, the focus across this volume centers
on how to collect and analyze data on the ways people remember the past and
how memories of the past are often present and future oriented (Fentress and
Wickham, 1992). This does not mean that remembered details are changed at
random by social groups – though this can occur – or that history should be
seen as a series of disconnected instants useful only for the present moment.
Indeed, such a view runs counter to the vision of most of the authors in this
work, who see memory as both unifying and dividing social groups not only in
the present, but also across time (see Coser, 1992 on Halbwachs, 1980). This
struggle over memory within social groups ultimately leads to discussions of
heritage where the certain aspects of the past are explicitly linked to collective
identity.
The word “heritage” is quite messy (Harvey, 2001; Larkham, 1985; Johnson
and Thomas, 1995) and Cohen and Cohen correctly observe that heritage as an
academic concept has “fuzzy semantic boundaries” (2012: 218). It is at these
boundaries that the work of many of the researchers in this volume resides. We see
heritage as a form of social memory that explicitly draws identification through
Introduction 3
concepts of ownership, but not necessarily always through commodification, of the
past. Heritage also instructs members of a heritage group (even those outside that
group) that a specific past should not be forgotten.
For example, the Holocaust becomes for some social groups, such as many
contemporary Jews, a period not only of deep loss and sorrow, but also a series
of events that need to be remembered vividly so that it need never be repeated
(Lee, 2006; compare Foxman, 2004). The memory, however, as Gross (2006:
77) argues has moved beyond Jews to “visitor demographics [that] cut across
these traditional markers of identity.” This is evidenced by the diversity and
large number of tourists who wait in line for hours to tour the Anne Frank House
in Amsterdam (the Netherlands) (see Figure I.1). Gross writes:
Remembering the Holocaust is a general trend, one that has become more
important, and more ritualistic, as the generation of survivors and witnesses
– those with first-hand memories – ages and passes away. . . . The structure
of this kind of pilgrimage is not only transnational but fundamentally non-
doctrinal. . . . What we experience at sites of Holocaust commemoration is
not so much a confirmation of religious belief. . . . Rather, memory itself has
become the ritual, open to virtually anyone who experiences the sites.
(2006: 77–78)
Through various memory acts and processes, this past is remembered not only
by Jews but by others as instructional devices for the present and future. Indeed,

how a past is remembered can change across generations with memories of the
past only remaining strong where this memory is socially relevant to the group
in the present (Eyeman, 2001).
Heritage tourism is also a commodification of the past. While making the
argument that a particular past makes a social group unique, heritage tourism
marketing advocates a particular value of that past, which is often sold to others
outside of that particular group for consumption. For example, marketing mater-
ials for many heritage sites stress the uniqueness and importance of these sites.
The implication is that the loss of such places is a loss not just for the heritage
group who draws partial identity from such places, but rather a larger cultural
loss. The argument can be made that heritage tourism can both protect and
endanger elements of culture (see, for example, National Trust of Historic Pres-
ervation, 2014; Gringo Trails, 2013; Bunten, 2008; Edson, 2004; Timothy and
Prideaux, 2004; Li et al., 2008).
While discussing the semantics of social memory and heritage tourism is
important, this volume instead seeks to draw attention primarily to methods of
research in these areas. Different disciplines have unique histories with regards
to frank discussions of how research is conducted. In human geography, for
example, qualitative research gained equal acceptance in relation to quantitative
methods in geographic research in the 1990s. As a result, geographers began to
write about their experience teaching qualitative methods courses to graduate
students (Lee, 1992; Lowe, 1992; Sidaway, 1992; Crang 2002; DeLyser 2008)
and publish books/journal articles centered on qualitative methods (while too
numerous to list all works, see for example Crang and Cook 2007; Clifford et
al., 2010; DeLyser et al., 2010; Hay, 2010). What followed were seminal meth-
odological contributions to geographic research.
One such example was the series of 56 essays entitled “Doing Fieldwork”
published in the Geographical Review (DeLyser and Starrs, 2001) that sought to
demystify and unpack the variety of practices involved in conducting fieldwork
in Geography. It is in this compilation that we see one such scholarly nod par-
ticularly to methods relating to memory and tourism, which we are building
upon here. DeLyser, known for her research centered on California (USA), land-
scape, tourism, and memory, focused her piece on her “insider” status in the field
as a staff member at Bodie State Historic Park. As she proceeded to address her
research questions through fieldwork, she realized that as an “insider” she too
was an active participant in the creation of the Bodie landscape. She writes in
reflection of this:
