Since then, a culture of war commemoration has emerged that continues to shape and define contemporary Croatia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book focuses on the practices at the heart of this ongoing commemorative process. It addresses three fields of activity: commemorative war museums as official spaces for the shifting mediation of the public remembrance of war; the city of Vukovar as a unique site of divisive, politicized memory culture; and subjective forms of testimony, such as memoirs and satirical cartoons, which corroborate and challenge public discourses of war remembrance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book draws on the latest methodological approaches in museology, memory studies and political research in Central Europe and the Balkans as well as autobiography and self-writing. It makes accessible to an English-speaking audience for the first time key primary and secondary texts in Croatian and thus stands as a useful source for an informed understanding of Croatia’s place in Europe today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Commemorative Museums and Memorial Complexes – Vukovar: Onus of Memory – Homeland War Literature","brand":"Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043649618263,"sku":"9783034319010","price":48.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783034319010.jpg?v=1750959005","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/commemorating-conflict-models-of-remembrance-in-postwar-croatia-9783034319010","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
