The History of the 'National Monuments' in Ljubljana
Keywords:
Ljubljana, political anthropology, monumentsAbstract
In his article, the author investigates the history of the ••-callcd national monuments in Ljubljana. He depicts how the monuments celebrating important historical figures were raised, describes what their role was and follows their fortunes. While the 19th century monuments dedicated to famous writers and poets mostly survive to this day, those celebrating different rulers and symbolizing political systems usually don't. In today's Ljubljana, for example, not one public monument testifies to Slovenia's historical links with Austria or Yugoslavia.
