ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I take a final leap from the textual and discursive into the spatial and the performative. First, I re-conceptualize re-enactment as an everyday mnemonic practice and show how such re-enactments assist my participants in attributing meaning to specific spatial and mental realms of memory. I am specifically interested in how re-enactments could form the basis of confirming or subverting dominant memory regimes in some locations in the town. I argue that renegotiation of the sacred and profane through re-enactments is key to such meaning-making processes. I look specifically at instances in which established notions of sacrality are either subverted by other notions of sacrality, or how they are profanized. I also discuss one example of how my participants attempt to drag one purely profane realm in the town into the sacred, commemorative realm.
