"The mass trespass of Kinder Scout was a notable act of willful trespass by ramblers. It was undertaken at Kinder Scout, in the Peak District of England, on 24 April 1932, to highlight weaknesses in English law of the time.

"Pierre Nora edited a monumental work of seven volumes about the loci memoriae of France, entitled 'Les lieux de mémoire' (1984–92). What are such sites, or realms, of memory?
'A lieu de mémoire is any significant entity, whether material or non-material in nature, which by dint of human will or the work of time has become a symbolic element of the memorial heritage of any community (in this case, the French community)' (Nora 1996: XVII)
In other words, sites of memory are "where [cultural] memory crystallizes and secretes itself" (Nora 1989: 7). These include:
places such as archives, museums, cathedrals, palaces, cemeteries, and memorials;
concepts and practices such as commemorations, generations, mottos, and all rituals;
objects such as inherited property, commemorative monuments (see image right), manuals, emblems, basic texts, and symbols." -

"It is a holistic, non-material realm that lies outside of space and time, but upon which we impose the categories of space and time and localisation via the mysterious Kantian categories of our minds."
