Abstract

A memoryscape is a place where memories are anchored in space. One cannot travel back in time to when an event occurred, but one can travel in space to where an event occurred. On 23 May 1934, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were ambushed and killed near Gibsland, Louisiana, by a posse of law enforcement officers. There is a monument at the ambush’s location, and since 1993, there has been the Authentic Bonnie and Clyde Festival commemorating the ambush and culminating with its re-enactment. The re-enactment demonstrates putting the past into the present, and while watching it, one feels being taken back in time to when the ambush occurred and experiences living history. The ambush’s re-enactment commemorates not only the end of Bonnie and Clyde’s crime wave but also the beginning of the end of the Public Enemy Era.

路易斯安那州吉布斯兰德的邦妮和克莱德记忆景观：抚今追昔

记忆景观是将记忆固定在空间中的地方。人们无法穿越时空回到事件发生的时间，但可以穿越空间回到事件发生的地点。1934 年 5 月 23 日，邦妮-帕克和克莱德-巴罗在路易斯安那州吉布斯兰附近遭到一队执法人员的伏击并被杀害。伏击地点建有一座纪念碑，自 1993 年以来，一直在举办 "邦妮和克莱德正宗节"，纪念这次伏击事件，并将其重演推向高潮。重演展示了将过去融入现在的过程，在观看重演的过程中，人们仿佛回到了伏击事件发生的年代，体验了活生生的历史。伏击战的重演不仅纪念了邦妮和克莱德犯罪浪潮的结束，也是公敌时代结束的开始。

期刊介绍： Memory Studies is an international peer reviewed journal. Memory Studies affords recognition, form, and direction to work in this nascent field, and provides a critical forum for dialogue and debate on the theoretical, empirical, and methodological issues central to a collaborative understanding of memory today. Memory Studies examines the social, cultural, cognitive, political and technological shifts affecting how, what and why individuals, groups and societies remember, and forget. The journal responds to and seeks to shape public and academic discourse on the nature, manipulation, and contestation of memory in the contemporary era.
