tories are full of historical turning points, personal events, significant
individuals and omens, but also retrospective evaluations about everyday
life and places. Memory as an unreliable source poses methodologically
intriguing representation challenges, yet tells quite a lot about the
perception of life, universe and everything. This presentation will touch
upon space-related issues in life-stories: what is described, and how? For
example, stories about childhood homes are almost never missed. This
presentation focuses especially on moral judgements concerning the
townscape of Kohtla-Järve – what is deemed good or bad, and why. It will
illustrate that investigating life-stories gives a more mufti-faceted
understanding of place perception and how it has developed over time,
dependent on personal story amidst 'big' history.About the speaker:With
degrees in geoinformatics, cartography and human geography from the
University of Tartu, Anu Printsman is working as a researcher at the Centre
for Landscape and Culture in the Estonian Institute of Humanities at
Tallinn University. She has been involved in and widely published on
landscape and heritage research in various parts of Estonia. Her
current research focuses on the Oil-Shale mining areas in and around
Kohtla-Järve in Northeast Estonia.
