Guest editorial Guest editorial: Heritage interpretation, conflict and reconciliation in East Asia Memory politics has been and is increasingly a popular topic in the fields of heritage, memory and history studies, including the links between memory politics and trauma, and the implication of commemoration in political power and identity-making (Macdonald, 2013). Seminal publications in this field are now about 20 or more years old (for example, Nora, 1989; Huyssen, 1995; Edkins and Jenny, 2003; Pitcher, 2006; Bell, 2006). Various forms of placeholders of memory have been examined, such as heritage sites, museums and memorials. In recent years, scholarship has maintained a steady output, including Berger and Tekin (2018) on the contested premises underlying the European Union’s ambition to develop a common historical narrative of Europe, Hubbell et al.
