Hi there Naomi,

I am a MA student in Cultural Heritage Management at the University of York, UK (but originally from BC). I am also researching a similar topic, although I am looking at what effects the treatment of the structures of the IRS (demolishment, adaptive re-use, abandonment) have had on the memories, values, and significance of these sites.
Your site has been very interesting and I would love the chance to trade some ideas with you as well.

Naomi: Would you kindly contact me at the email address given. I’m not sure if you are the correct person, but I have a request to make of you or whomever administers the Writing On The Wall-Portage La Prairie site.

I’d be very grateful to hear from you.

Hi Patrick,
Nice to hear from you. And yes, it’d be great to trade ideas. I loved Trouillot’s book, which reminds me that I need to revisit it. He is a pleasure to read.
Have you read Marita Sturken’s work? She was at Annenberg and is now at NYU.
I’m going to send you an email so we can discuss further. In case you don’t receive it, you can reach me at naomiangel(at)nyu.edu.

I’m glad to hear you met Diane; she’s lovely.

Best,
Naomi

Hi Naomi,

Great site – thanks. I’m an ABD at USC Annenberg who’s working closely along the lines of your own project. I’d like to learn more about whether and how you’re dealing with several concepts: public discourse (public sphere, language, sites / forums), museums and collections, media (esp. new media), and memory (specifically, which literatures). I’m revising my introduction outline at present and would be grateful to trade a few ideas.

If you’re looking at history and power, a great book is Trouillot, Michel-Rolph. Silencing the Past: Power and the Production of History (1996) Boston: Beacon Press. I’d be glad to share bibliographies to see what you’ve been reading.

PS, I met a friend of yours (D Dechief) in Montreal last week who suggested I speak w you.

Best,

Patrick
