Results and Impact | Gregson's talk is entitled "Souvenir salvage and the death of great naval ships." This talk examines the social and physical death of naval ships as a form of military material culture. It draws on ethnographic research with veterans' associations in the UK and US, and in a UK ship breaking yard, to explore the relationship of a naval ship's social and physical death to memorialisation, souvenir manufacture and souvenir salvage. For ex-navy personnel, it is normative to memorialize a naval ship through a range of manufactured souvenirs worn in everyday life. The social death of naval ships has, until recently, been largely disconnected from the sites of their physical death, or destruction, but the advent of ethical disposal policies in the UK has brought about the geographical compression of the two. The talk charts three phases of ex-naval personnel's engagement with the destruction of "their ships": pilgrimage, souvenir salvage and collective memorialization. Gregson argues that proximate visualized destruction makes ex-naval personnel witnesses to an object's death and that resource recovery regimes should not only be considered recycling of materials but also their reincarnation. |
