Double Vision, “Resistancescapes,” and Activism
摘要
This article examines the heritage of landscapes of resistance from World War II. Specifically, it explores how the heritage professional or activist might deal with such landscapes when they were not created through guerrilla warfare, nor by partisans, but instead through unarmed civilian resistance. This article proposes two related concepts for conceptualizing and perceiving such landscapes: the “resistancescape” and “double vision.” Taken together, these concepts were used in the creation of resistance heritage trails in the Channel Islands of Guernsey and Jersey. The trails are discussed here, and the advantages and disadvantages of such heritage in preserving yet contributing to the atrophy of resistance narratives are evaluated.
