After the War, before the Future: Remembrance and Public Representations of Atrocities in Sarajevo

Abstract

This chapter discusses four memorial sites of varying sizes in Sarajevo which all refer to incidents during the war in the 1990s. The examples are of differing character and design, initiated by different actors and interests. But they all invite approach and reflection, if not visitation in the strict sense of the word. The chapter discusses how declared ambitions to establish memorials accessible for people with different experiences nevertheless carry implicit inclusions and exclusions through the narratives they transmit and how they reproduce categories and classifications deeply embedded in contemporary politics.
