This paper interrogates how Singapore’s everyday heritage has been framed through embodied and sensory experiences. While buildings and other landmarks have been conserved as heritage icons, this designation also includes particular routes known as heritage trails. Buildings and trails by themselves are not invested with symbolic meaning; it is the processes of heritage packaging that consign particular landmarks and sites with a heritage purpose. By employing the notion of “concrete memories,” I argue that heritage landmarks and trails form a site through which the nation’s history is selectively interpreted, negotiated, and experienced by different actants. Concrete memories comprise three key features: familiarity, sensory remembering, and ownership. The discussion of concrete memories is undergirded by broad methodological principles of actor-network theory. The intention is to call attention to embodied tourism in heritage tourism studies while at the same time addressing the production and consumption of heritage and power relations through heritage networks.

具体记忆和感官过去:日常遗产和国家政治

本文探讨了新加坡的日常遗产是如何通过具身和感官体验来构建的。虽然建筑物和其他地标已被保存为遗产标志,但该名称还包括被称为遗产小径的特定路线。建筑物和小径本身并不具有象征意义;正是遗产包装的过程将特定的地标和遗址赋予了遗产目的。通过采用“具体记忆”的概念,我认为遗产地标和小径形成了一个场所,通过该场所,不同的行动者有选择地解释、协商和体验国家的历史。具体记忆包括三个关键特征:熟悉度、感官记忆和所有权。对具体记忆的讨论以行动者网络理论的广泛方法论原则为基础。目的是在遗产旅游研究中引起对具身旅游的关注,同时通过遗产网络解决遗产的生产和消费以及权力关系。
