Cultural policies, identities and monument building in Southeastern Europe Milena Dragićević Šešić Abstract This paper deals with monument policies in Southeastern Europe in the period of transition, nationalistic uprisings, wars and divisions. Exploring the reconstruction of mem ories through official and populist monument projects the research will try to prove the misuse of memories and historical representations as a form of hate speech, and to deconstruct this manipulation of memories used to create a new “national”, ethnic memory using monument as a strategic tool. At the same time the research will explore how artists have challenged official policies of “monumentalization” creating their own monument projects. Monuments as artistic projects, permanent or ephemeral, are part of the culture of dissent, platforms for debating major cultural policy issues. This research will use the categories identified by Kodrnja and Slapšak, re-adapted and developed for the needs of this study. We therefore identified three different models of strategy and monument policy applied in different phases of postsocialist transition: the model of anti-culture (destruction strategy, appropriation strategy, ignoring “the other” and provocation strategy); the model of “culturalization” (monument building within new identity policies, decontextualization strategy, musealization of the heritage of others, “gratitude” strategy); and the model of dissent – creative dialogue (counter-culture strategy, strategy of opposing within one’s own culture). Keywords: cultural policies, monument policies, Southeastern Europe, historical representations, memories, identities 31
