      abstract = {This book uses plasticity as a metaphor for understanding  how the past endures and evolves within the landscape, and  the ways in which remembering shapes the sites we occupy  and use. The plastic site is characterised both by its  resilience, its form never entirely altered from an earlier  mould, and by its malleability, which ensures that whatever  persists is inevitably transformed. Embodied in its present  configuration are the many moments that have produced it  over time, and these are continually supplemented and  modified. Surveying examples from Paris, Algiers and  Marseille, and media as diverse as literature, film,  photography, blogs and video games, Plastic Pasts  interrogates how different communities and cultural  producers have grappled with the present past in space as  an enduring and dynamic memory. It argues that  understanding sited memory as plastic entails recognising a  multiplicity of immutable pasts that exist in a permanent  state of ongoing evolution.},
