Description
The
religious
architecture
of
Ladakh,
India,
reflects
a
rich
multicultural
history
defined
by
bodily
practices
of
remembrance
performed
on
an
individual
and
collective
basis.
The
focus
of
my
research
is
to
understand
how
the
religious
community
of
Ladakh
enshrines
memories
and
traditions
within
their
mosques
and
temples.
In
particular,
I
examine
how
literally
constructed
spaces
can
act
as
a
superstructure
to
which
memories
can
attach.
Using
as
a
point
of
reference
Paul
Connerton’s
work
on
social
bodily
practices
in
How
Societies
Remember
(1989),
I
conducted
interviews
with
members
of
the
Ladakhi
community
to
explore
the
idea
of
architecture
as
a
focal
point
of
remembrance.
By
examining
the
entwined
processes
of
layering
memories
and
constructing
traditions,
I
hope
to
better
understand
how
experiential
and
collective
memories
contribute
to
the
construction
of
these
Ladakhi
spaces
as
sacred.
