metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: In this article, I analyse both the urban space of Vyborg in relation to the Finnish tradition of memorialising
  the town, and the meanings given to certain places. My analysis is concentrating to three central monuments
  inside the city space of Vyborg: the Castle, the Round Tower and the Library. The article has its roots in our Finnish
  Academy project “Meanings of an Urban Space, Past and Present”. Main theoretical concepts are imagined city
  by James Donald, places of memory by Pierre Nora and postmemory by Marianne Hirsch.
  The trauma of losing Vyborg in World War II has had a great effect on the way that Finns have memorialised the
  town. My findings suggest that a certain tradition of memorialising (postmemory) can produce imagined and, in
  many ways, fixed collective views of history, which are materialising through the popular monuments of the town
  space. Monuments like Vyborg Castle, the Round Tower, and the Central City Alvar Aalto Library are the core
  places of memory for Finns. In many cases, however, they are not important because of their present reality but
  due to their meanings inside the imagination. These imagined realities also include strong claims of ownership
  towards the town space, which seems to be set in the era of Finnish independence in the 1920s and 1930s.
