“…A história se encontra como campo de ligação entre o passado e presente, através de um discurso colorido, como diz Arnold (2004), pelas modas intelectuais do presente, através de uma voz narrativa, e a escolha da narrativa é uma maneira de falar dada aos fatos.…”

Este ensaio tem o objetivo de propor um confronte de ideias rumo ao aspecto transdisciplinar da construção histórica e para a historiografia da arquitetura. Elaborado em quatro partes, pretende na primeira seção elencar elementos dialógicos da crítica operativa da historiografia a fim de levantar alguns fatores de importância para a discussão; na segunda seção são balanceados alguns estudos sobre o ser humano e seu imaginário radical, onde acontecem as conexões da psique e seu eu histórico-social, assim como sua lida enquanto ser historiador e produtor de uma obra; na seção três evidencia-se o ethos, termos para sua definição e como sua ocorrência implica na relação discursiva dos textos escritos; e na última seção ocorre a mesclagem dos assuntos em torno da necessidade transdisciplinar que o campo da arquitetura e do urbanismo apelam enquanto campo de pesquisa.

“…Therefore, conservation of building fabric of historic assets must be considered as a medium of interpretation as buildings do not 'speak for themselves' (Chitty 1999). It is necessary to ensure that modern conservation practice incorporates scrutiny of the values that underpin and influence assessment of significance, including contemporary issues of gender, to enable critical assessment and perhaps revision of received and embedded narratives at historic sites (Arnold 2003).…”

“…In her critique of architectural history, Dana Arnold (2003) identified the ongoing and subjective nature of the 'dialogue' between the past and the present, through which meanings, associations and narratives are attached to buildings. For medieval castles, these layers are often inherently gendered male.…”

Beyond the martial façade: gender, heritage and medieval castles

Gendered interpretations are rare both within castle-studies and heritage discourses on medieval castles. Yet, castles hold potential to inform multi-vocal accounts of the medieval past and to inspire meaningful heritage interpretations to achieve greater societal impact. This article explores the role that gender currently plays in interpretations of medieval castles in Britain, supported by three case-studies written by heritage professionals. The enduring narrative of militarism at medieval castles sites is discussed, together with issues of authenticity in relation to the historical record, which is in itself biased and inherently gendered. Outcomes from a collaborative workshop highlight the need to address interpretative issues where gender is considered to equate to 'making women visible'. Finally, we pose the question: What makes a 'good gendered interpretation' at a public heritage site?

“…Such a deliberate rendering of the poetic oeuvre as architectural construction foregrounds the literary text’s structural resemblance to a planned building, the design of which takes into account questions of proportion, form and complexity. More importantly, both books and buildings serve as historical or visual records on which the past – whether individual or collective – has left visible and invisible traces (Arnold, ‘Reading’, 5); in other words, architectural and literary works provide repositories for cultural and personal memory. Buildings can act as the records of an age or a nation, and, in the words of architectural historian Sigfried Giedion, architecture is ‘the product of all sorts of factors – social, economic, scientific, technical, ethnological’ (19).…”

Romantic London and the Architecture of Memory

This essay attempts a reading of the relationship between literature and architecture in Romantic writings. The correspondence between external and internal structures – between the literal city as encountered outside the text and the reimagined city constructed in textual space – is most discernible in the context of metropolitan improvements. In the opening decades of the nineteenth century, Regency London underwent a series of significant urban changes. These developments, notwithstanding their importance to the culture and cityscape of London, ironically nurtured intense anxieties about the consequences of change. The loss of certain buildings or spaces in the city as a result of urban growth overlaps with experiences of personal loss, so that the new architecture in the city ironically acts as aides‐mémoires of the drastic shifts in subjective history. Buildings thus impress the mind in a way that yields an intensely personal understanding of the changing urban environment. De Quincey’s Confessions of an English Opium Eater (1821) is read as a case study that explores the implications of metropolitan improvements and the extent to which memories of loss are projected onto the buildings and streets of the newly expanded London.
