Our purpose is to analyse how individual and collective memory is transformed in the urban context by migration and mobility in general. We want to understand how the past is used and reinvented in the mobile and urban society.Objectives are to understand how mobility impacts the identity and memory of persons, groups and urban spaces, and how it creates hybridised spaces of a common past.Method: We want to observe the relationship between memory, mobility, space and its representations. We want to focus on rituals performed at the individual and collective levels – on the revealing practices that combine mobility and memory work. We have chosen to study some European cities in order to vary contexts and experiences regarding memory and mobility. We will also study the web as a sixth transversal and hybridised place of creation and transformation of personal memories that shapes the identities of mobile people vis-a-vis collective identities and a common but also transforming past.Outcome: With our understanding of the city as continuously recomposing place of inclusive history and mobility as the motor of the coherent transformation of the memories of individuals, groups and cities, we will contribute to the understanding of historical references in a globalised world. The analysis of continuous actualisation of multiple memories in a mobile world is not not only of scientific interest, but also for political and societal discourses regarding a Europe united through differences.
