Overview
- Investigates how violence does not only disrupt old, as well as conjure new, identities and identity relations, but can also fundamentally alter the landscape physically and conceptually
- Utilises case studies in which the incident of violence originated within different time periods, from modern to pre-historic
- Seeks to recognise the value and potential in heritage as an empowering tool to envision a different future
Part of the book series: Palgrave Studies in Cultural Heritage and Conflict (PSCHC)

About this book
Reviews
"Wollentz’s study is very impressive in its intellectual breadth and depth, combining acute insights in the theory of heritage and memory with detailed empirical observations derived from heritage ethnographies in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, and Sweden."
-- Prof. Cornelius Holtorf, UNESCO Chair on Heritage Futures, Linnaeus University, Sweden“Gustav Wollentz’s book is a refreshing read that enters into the intense debate on difficult heritage and invites us to rethink some of the analytical tools we use for the study of spaces marked by violent events, starting from the very notion of ‘temporality’. The book’s analyses of Mostar, Gazimestan, and Sandby Borg are not mere applications of the concepts discussed in the theoretical chapters, but are a remarkable way of “doing theory” empirically, moving from the specific features of each case study.” --Francesco Mazzucchelli, University of Bologna, Italy
