Layers of memory
On the Classification of memorials in Croatia
Keywords:
memorials, Croatia, warAbstract
In this study of the fate of a part of the heritage of the socialist period in Croatia - namely the memorials, the author finds that there is a variety of attitudes towards these cultural monuments, ranging from their destruction, to letting them slip into oblivion, to attempts at reinterpreting them, or adopting them in an unaltered state. The memorials that were designed or erected after 1990 primarily mark Croatia's achievement of independence and events that took place during the war from 1991 to 1995. Of particular note in these memorials is the frequent interconnectedness of the sacral and the national.
