The Social Meaning of Competing Memorial Spaces
Objective In this article, we consider the materialization of collective memory in monumental architecture, including Confederate monuments. Method Using Goodman's typology for uncovering social meaning in the built environment, we consider the material, symbolic, and temporal meanings of two memorial spaces, the Alabama Confederate Memorial Monument and the National Peace and Justice Memorial. Results The analysis uncovers competing social meani…
A Systems Approach to Understanding Community Power in the Debate over Confederate Monuments
Objective We explore the role of local institutions, public architecture, and Confederate memorialization to institutionalize racialized public spaces. Method Applying an Eastonian model in an American political development framework, data on government development, postbellum county creation, courthouse construction, and Confederate memorialization are examined for 161 Georgia counties. Results Commemorative landscapes, courthouse design, courth…
Mapping Confederate Icons and Their Contestation
Objective In this article, we use racial threat theory to examine the contemporary debate over the place of Confederate memorials in the public square. Method We predict removal of Confederate iconography based on sociodemographic and organizational measures at the county level using logistic regression analysis. Results We find strong evidence to suggest that county characteristics involving urban density, minority presence, average per capita i…
Introduction to the Special Issue on Reframing Confederate Monuments
Objective This article highlights the contours of the Confederate monument debate, frames the contributions to the special issue, and underscores important emergent themes from the collection as a whole. Method By way of introduction, we articulate and examine the issue of Confederate monument contestation in terms of three concurrent debates and then provide theoretical synthesis across the various scholarly contributions presented in this speci…
The Systemic Affect of Culture, Power, and Terror in the Southern Public Space
Objective We explore how political space is disrupted by racialized politics, and how differentiated affect among racial groups emerge in the political space. Method We use Goodsell's architectural classifications of public space in conjunction with systems theory to ascertain how differing architectural affects of pride and heritage versus terror and oppression are experienced in the post‐bellum South. Historic data of lynchings and Klan activit…
Context of a Contested Landscape
Objective This piece outlines the historical contours of Confederate memorialization in the South, drawing attention to major types of monuments and the timing of their erection. It also identifies the agents of commemoration, groups who invested significant time and resources in forging the Lost Cause narrative, and sets these efforts within the context of broader patterns of historical memory and civic celebration throughout the South. Method W…
How the Mall Means
The National Mall is the focus of millions of visitors to the America's capital, Washington, DC, each year. Today's Mall is the product of three significant periods of planning and development. This article examines the L’Enfant Plan, the McMillan Plan, and the National Park Service Master Plan to understand the ways in which this public space has evolved as well as the referential meaning it holds for us today. Through Goodman's theoretical fram…
