ABSTRACT
The concept of entanglement commonly refers to the material and social relations that emerge in colonial settings between colonizers and the colonized. In this chapter I explore a different, but not unrelated notion of entanglement: the idea that spaces are often entangled with histories. In particular I explore the notion of historical gravity as a form of cultural perception and representation. Logical examples include places associated with great tragedy or suffering, but there is a large spectrum of events that become attached and identified with particular spaces.
