Memory Cultures

How to talk about the past and confront difficult war legacies? Why is remembrance important, and what is the Culture of Remembrance? Facts about the armed conflicts of the 1990s in the former Yugoslavia are subject to constant and deliberate distortion within the framework of dominant and state policies of remembrance. Through an audio podcast, the Humanitarian Law Center contributes to public dialogue on topics related to memory policies and cultures and facing the past, opposing the hegemonic narratives about the dissolution of Yugoslavia and the ensuing conflicts. The podcast addresses all aspects of the Culture of Remembrance, aiming to highlight the constructed nature of dominant narratives and deconstruct them through conversations with experts and activists in the field of grassroots memorialisation. The podcast is in the common regional languages, i.e. BCMS, with occasional episodes in English.
