Against Permanence: What the Monument Can Learn from Camp

This paper offers a critique of permanence by the means of a comparison between two seemingly disparate typologies: the monument and the camp. This critique is situated amidst an ongoing crisis of permanence, evidenced in recent debates over the removal or alteration of existi ng structures from contested political statues, such as Confederate monuments, to architecturally significant buildings, like Philip Johnson’s AT&T building in New York City.
