Socialist Yugoslavia, Memorial production

Sažetak
Monuments which were built in former socialist Yugoslavia to mark and honour events related to the WW2 have been catching the attention of western scholars and the wider public for at least a decade. This interest was manifested on various levels, from individuals who are "hunting" the ruins that appear to be forgotten and neglected, local and international contemporary artists who evolve their work around topics of memory and politics, to survey exhibitions in high-brow institutions such as MoMA. Still, in the context from which they originate, this vast body of public art has been caught between political restruction, disinheritance, and historical revisionism on the one side, and the lack of systematic research and informed analysis that would situate various aspects relevant for their understanding in specific context(s) of their production, on the other. In our talk we will present the questions, approaches, and perspectives that our edited volume on the Yugoslav memorial production aims to encompass, among others: What monumental practices and traditions preceded the development of public commemorative art in socialist period ; Who commissioned those monuments and what was the influence of Yugoslav politics of culture and memory on their production ; Who were their authors, and what are the formal and typological features of those memorial structures ; What is their relation to the comparative memorial production in Europe ; How did the commemorative practices frame and direct their social use ; What are the challenges of the popular exploitation of images depicting this heritage today. Characteristics and specificities of this production will be discussed attached to Yugoslav version of socialism.
