memorials and monuments  

Définition(s)

  • Like many other societies, the United States has shaped some of its most prominent public spaces around war memorials that identify formative experiences of the nation and propose visions of peacetime order. While the develop-ment of this landscape has at times shared in transatlantic trends, American war memorials have often followed a sepa-rate pattern that reflects not only the particular military his-tory of the country but also a persistent ambivalence toward the centralizing, hierarchical, expansionist implications of the commemorative vocabulary inherited from the tri-umphal arches and columns and equestrian statues of the Roman Empire.
