Vukov, N., S. Kazalarska (eds.). Heroic Art and Socialist Realism: Monuments, Memory and Representations of the Socialist Past after 1989
Category: Ethnology of Socialism and Post-socialism
Language: English
Focused on the complex and intriguing topic of the monumental heritage of the socialist period in Eastern Europe, the book addresses a wide range of issues related to heroes, monuments, and memory before and after 1989. Its twelve studies touch upon different aspects of monuments and heroic art from the socialist period in Eastern Europe - the ideological and artistic policies that have caused their appearance, the impact that they laid upon public space and everyday life, and the changing approaches of their remembrance after 1989.
Published as a result of the international project "Heroes We Love. Ideology, Identity and Socialist Art in New Europe" (with support from "Creative Europe" Program of the European Commission), the book presents the research of scholars and art practitioners working on topics related to socialism and post-socialism in Eastern Europe. With its broad scope, examples from several countries, and in-depth analyses of memory processes after 1989, the book will no doubt draw the attention of all readers interested in the conflicting interpretations of the socialist era heritage.
