“…In addition as Sara Wills (2009) argues with regard to Bonegilla and other post-war migrant centres, commemoration can be way to use the past to recover from collective shame. Although Finsbury/Pennington perhaps is not as "uncomfortable" a site as those migrant centres such as Maribyrnong and Villawood that went on to become detention centers for asylum seekers awaiting refugee processing (Dellios 2015b), it nonetheless must bring together perspectives that can be viewed as in conflict, reflecting the distinct migration experiences of those who came to Australia for economic, social, cultural, political, and/or religious reasons, oftentimes from locales that themselves were in internal conflict.…”

“…Similarly, reunions initiated the collection of histories at centres such as the West Sale Holding Centre(Synan 2002).7 We draw the reader's attention to the well-documented discussions of the Bonegilla Centre as an example of the contested and contrasting narratives and agendas of the various stakeholders. See for exampleWills 2009, Persian 2012, Pennay 2012, and Dellios 2015b; more generally in regard to retrospective commemoration seeAshton & Hamilton: 2008.…”

“…Purkis (2017) argued that "heritage can be situated within people's life stories, and that these stories create a heritage identity of a local place" (p436). What Purkis highlights is worth emphasising because many recent authors have considered digital heritage primarily through the lens of it being used to connect to material things or physical locations (Hogsden & Poulter 2012;Dellios 2015). This co-created digital content possesses heritage value through the telling of stories about people, places, or events or about the visitors' experience of them.…”

Reimagining the Rural Hinterland: an investigation of participatory digital placemaking in rural communities

Rural locations often form a hinterland – geographically and culturally - for large conurbations that dominate a particular region. They are interconnected, sometimes interdependent, but also separated by the social and spatial perceptions of a place. For urban dwellers the hinterland is a place to ‘escape to the country’; for rural dwellers the town is the place of ‘bright lights’. The norms of either location often sit juxtaposed. This sense of place may be constructed from traditional, stereotypical ways of seeing and understanding communities. Digital technology has provided a platform to challenge these norms and provide new ways of representing the physical and cultural landscape of urban and rural spaces. In this conceptual paper we explore digital placemaking in the hinterland of the North-East of Scotland. In this region, the city (Aberdeen) dominates, but it is the rural hinterland that charms. Through an examination of co-created content of rural spaces in this region we consider the role of participatory digital placemaking. Drawing on an extensive body of previous research that has explored community heritage in the North-East of Scotland, we use case studies to consider the ways in which images, iconography and language shape and inform perceptions of the rural space in the digital environment. We argue that this bottom-up approach to placemaking in rural areas can help to shape the way that places are seen, understood, and valued by communities, visitors and wider online audiences. To conclude, this paper reflects on how rural participatory digital placemaking counteracts the urban norm and connects communities across town and country through a reimagined digital hinterland.
