从2007年起,英国的伍顿巴塞特村成为纪念在行动中牺牲的英国军人的地点。遣返仪式从城镇居民的自发行为发展成为国家对武装部队尊重的非正式场所。最初,它被媒体引用为一个例子,以羞辱这个国家对军队缺乏尊重,后来,它成为了一个公开表达悲伤的地方,也成为了一个围绕英国参与阿富汗战争的政治争论的场所。通过分析报纸通过Wootton Bassett对遣返的报道,这是对这一现象的第一次地理分析,它描述了这一轨迹、传播媒介对遣返的报道以及最终将对遣返进程的正式控制归还给军方。尽管伍顿•巴塞特现象为对英国外交政策的批判性反思开辟了空间,但它应被视为伊拉克战争后军队复兴趋势的一部分。因此,这篇论文促成了关于民用空间军事化的新兴辩论,以及由于英国在过去十年中卷入的两场战争而导致的军民关系性质的变化。最后,它呼吁地理学家更多地关注自发、非物质和临时记忆场所的形成和消解。
From 2007 the English village of Wootton Bassett emerged as a site to honour British military personnel killed in action. Repatriation ceremonies developed from a spontaneous act by the citizens of the town into an informal site of national respect for the armed forces. Initially cited by the media as an example to shame the country for its lack of respect for the military, it became both a space for public displays of grief and a site of political contention about British involvement in the Afghanistan war. Analysing newspaper coverage of the repatriations through Wootton Bassett, this first geographical analysis of the phenomenon describes that trajectory, its coverage by the media and the eventual return of formal control of the repatriation process to the military. Although it opened spaces for critical reflection on UK foreign policy, the Wootton Bassett phenomenon should be seen as part of a trend of the rehabilitation of the military in the aftermath of the Iraq war. The paper thus contributes to emergent debates about the militarisation of civilian space, and about the shifting nature of civil–military relations as a consequence of the two wars in which the UK has been engaged over the past decade. It concludes with a call for geographers to pay more attention to the formation and dissolution of spontaneous, immaterial and temporary sites of memory.
