Can, door, heritage

    Abstract

    I last saw the USAID tin can when it was in use as one component of a door to a house in a now 'abandoned' Internally Displaced Person (IDP) camp, called Pabbo, in northern Uganda. I came within touching distance of the can in August 2011 whilst conducting postdoctoral research concerning the postconflict use of heritage. Although I never made physical contact with the can, it is an object that affected me at the time and that I continue to be affected by today because of a memory now bound to a photograph.
