The present article investigates two recently published essayistic memoirs, Ellie Harrison’s The Glasgow Effect (2019) and Darren McGarvey’s Poverty Safari (2017), and the debate between the two writers/artists within the wider framework of the Glasgow discourse, a manneristic imagination of the city shaped by the Glasgow novel in the course of the twentieth century. Focusing on issues of representation of traumatic historical memory, it relies especially on Myriam Jimeno’s idea of emotional community and presents the Glasgow novel as an example of such community, originally designed to make the predicament of the working classes visible. The article contends that many contemporary novels posit deviance from the genre’s original function of voicing the subaltern, exploiting instead a popular literary cliché. It also argues that both the texts, by representing their authors’ emotions and life stories as embedded in the city’s social and cultural landscape, dis/place the borders of the city’s imagination, simultaneously stumbling upon and pushing back the limits of the Glasgow discourse

In the 1840s, Nauvoo, Illinois, was a religious boomtown, the headquarters for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism), a controversial religion whose theology, social practices, and solidarity led to cultural conflict. By the mid-1840s, Joseph Smith, the religion’s prophet-leader, was killed, and thousands of Mormons relocated west to Utah. During the twentieth century, the Latter-day Saints returned to their former headquarters in Nauvoo, Illinois, in a dramatic way. Acquiring nearly half of the property in the city, the faith transformed the sleepy Mississippi River town into a historical re-creation of its earlier splendor. However, as it did in the nineteenth century, Mormonism’s presence in western Illinois in the twentieth century created conflict. Competing groups, including the religion’s sister faith, the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ, offered a rival interpretation of Nauvoo’s past. Additionally, community members without a connection to either branch of Mormonism sought to preserve their own rich history in the city. Return to the City of Joseph: Modern Mormonism’s Contest for the Soul of Nauvoo examines the conflicts over historical memory that have developed as Mormonism returned to western Illinois. It focuses on the social history of the community, examining interactions between groups impacted by Mormonism’s touristic takeover. In a broader way, it also intersects with studies of historical tourism and pilgrimage.

This essay examines the racialization of space and the role of memory in the twentieth-century urbanization of La Paz, Bolivia. Historical memory linked particular races to specific spaces; this in turn helped determine spending on infrastructure, hygiene, and other urban projects. The essay analyzes the ways in which the extramuro (outside the walls of the city) was marked as the place for undesirable, but necessary elements of the city, and as the point of origin for the filth and a whole host of diseases within the city. The relationship between La Paz and the discourses on indígenas in public space in the twentieth century takes center stage: these discourses marked indígenas as undesirable and yet redeemable. This essay analyzes the close connection between the construction of race and the urbanization of that same space. I conclude by reassessing the links between race, space, and memory in Bolivia.

The historic monuments of Tyumen are an integral part of the historical and cultural landscape of the city, especially those of them that have the status of the objects of the cultural heritage of the federal significance. The relevance of this topic lies in commemorative marks being one of the sources of the formation of historical memory. For the first time, there is an attempt to study the commemorative potential using the example of a limited number of cultural heritage sites in Tyumen and compare with its current state. A comprehensive study of the history of these objects allows identifying their commemorative potential, while the comprehension of the current state of their memorialization aids in developing specific proposals for perpetuating significant events for them. Using the principles of objectivity and historicism, the authors have studied memorial plaques. Today, they are the only type of commemorative signs located on the cult cultural heritage sites of federal significance in Tyumen. Their texts contain information exclusively about the events of religious life. The reason for this may be the fact that the initiative to install all the memorial signs came from the representatives of the church. The events related to the history of the iconic monuments of Tyumen were grouped into thematic blocks. They reflect the connection of these objects with facts from the life of indivi¬duals or with the history of the most memorial place. This allows formulating more clearly their proposals for the memorialization of historic objects of cultural heritage of federal significance in Tyumen. It should be noted that the issue of the current state and prospects of memorialization of the historic objects of cultural heritage of regional significance in Tyumen requires a special study.

The present article analyzes changes and continuities in gender relationships and autonomy among wives of returned migrants in the city of Teocelo, Veracruz, Mexico. For that purpose, we used a qualitative method, specifically, the analysis of life stories as reported by seven local women. The departure, absence, and return of a migrant husband entails a series of changes in the practices and subjectivities of wives. These changes have to be negotiated with the returnee to maintain the couple relationship and family ties. The present study stresses the importance of continuing research on migration using a gender perspective to properly acknowledge and evaluate the experience of women married to migrant returnees. The present analysis seeks to contribute to gender-sensitive studies on the phenomenon of migration.

It is generally acknowledged that museumswere an essential part of the national project in nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Europe—and some retain this function even today. Classic works in nationalism studies, such as Eric Hobsbawm's, have highlighted the role they played in the birth of modern nations. Subsequent studies that focused on specific national contexts help us better understand the mechanisms by which museums contributed to the invention of national traditions as well as to the formation of historical consciousness, historical memory, and the functioning of modern states. As these and other scholars of museum history also demonstrate, museum founders, directors, curators, and the broader public were driven by agendas and aspirations other than nation-building within these larger processes. Analyzing how these agendas mixed with the aims of the national project in a specific locality in the making of museums can generate new insights into the formation of modern subjectivities in this period.

El presente artículo indaga por la producción, contenido y circulación de algunos de los primeros periódicos publicados en Pereira (Risaralda, Colombia) en las dos primeras décadas del siglo XX, con el fin de rastrear en ellos las imágenes iniciales de ciudad y la forma como opera el discurso de la prensa en la composición de unos roles sociales. Así, se destaca el papel del periodista frente a la administración local y la sutil emergencia de unos actores modernos: el suscriptor, como receptor comprometido con la circulación de unos impresos, y el lector, como el usuario que empieza a hacer uso de las primeras bibliotecas locales. Aquí se pregunta por la primera memoria escrita que se teje en la ciudad y por sus implicaciones en la construcción de una dinámica social, donde el registro periodístico contempla un proceso histórico, convirtiéndose en documento esencial para comprender una noción de vida en comunidad, a propósito de los procesos de modernización que tempranamente asumió Pereira en el siglo XX, en una época en que, en términos administrativos, estaba adscrita al llamado Gran Caldas.First Readers Written and First Memory Pereira (Risaralda, Colombia) in the Early Twentieth Century: Entry into Modern LifeAbstractThe present article enquires into the production, content, and circulation of some of the first journals published in Pereira (Risaralda, Colombia) in the first two decades of the 20th Century, with the aim of tracking in them the initial images of the city, and the way the press discourse operates in the composition of some social roles. Thus, we highlight the role of the journalist in front of the local administration, and the subtle emergence of some modern actors: the subscriber, as a receptor committed with the circulation of printed material, and the reader, as the user who begins to make use of the first local libraries. Two questions emerge concerning the first written memories interwoven in the city, and the implications in the construction of a social dynamics, where the journalistic register implies a historic process which then turns into a document of primary importance for the understanding of a notion of life in community, with regard to the processes of modernization early assumed by Pereira in the 2oth century, in a period in which, in administrative terms, the city was ascribed to the Great Caldas.

This present article is a case study that seeks to understand the multiplicity of the concept of Reexistence through the Barcelona Pavillion, by Mies van der Rohe. Through an analysis of the context in which the work was thought, of its structure and its design, it seeks to make clear the unique legacy the work has in the twentieth century and it is capable to give new meanings to the idea of Reexistence. In this sense, this notion is both applicable to the bodily experience of the individual in the city, as a work of art, and to notion had about Germany in the international artistic community in a delicate moment for the country, as a symbol of philosophical and constructive thought. Keywords: Barcelona Pavillion, Mies van der Rohe, Reexistence
