“…Different groups of people will have their own heritage valuation criteria (Throsby, 2010) and their own narratives describing historical events. This is exactly what cultural memory differs from the history as a science (Halbwachs, 1980;Assmann, 1995). Different versions of cultural memory are part of the general differentiation of space users, and thus their varied expectations regarding these spaces, their forms of use and development.…”

Public space in cities is widely seen as a developmental resource.It thus becomes a kind of urban product, and a lure for a range of groups of current and potential users. Cities compete for prestige and standing by creating new spaces or altering existing ones. The author attempts to assess the extent to which filling such a space with historical content is a significant contributing factor to the pursuit of such goals and the fulfilment of these tasks. The background for the analysis are projects submitted for the citizens’ participatory budget for the Polish capital, Warsaw.

“…Tai reiškia tam tikrą struktūrą, kurioje atsiskleidžia svarbumo-nesvarbumo, centriškumo-periferiš-kumo, lokalumo-tarplokalumo skirtys, kuriančios simbolius ir naudojamos grupės tapatumui formuoti. Kultūrinė atmintis pasižymi ir refleksiškumu: grupė kuria santykį pati su savimi, pati save kritikuoja, cenzūruoja, riboja, interpretuoja savo praktikas ir įvaizdžius 12 .…”

ĮVADAsIstorijos politikos ir atminties politikos tyrimai turi gilias tradicijas Vakarų Europos universitetuose, o pokomunistinėse valstybėse jų raida dėl objektyvių politinių priežasčių galėjo prasidėti tik prieš kelis dešimtmečius. Baltijos valstybėse pirmąjį nepriklausomybės dvidešimtmetį ši sritis taip pat sulaukė nemažai dėmesio, dažnai tapdavo visuomenės diskusijų objektu, tačiau ilgai stokojo platesnių mokslinių tyrimų. Vis dėlto pastaraisiais metais atminties politikos tyrimai

“…Further, in this period German Egyptologist Jan Assmann also published his studies on forms of memory in ancient societies, and in the 1990s he and his wife Aleida Assmann further developed concept of "cultural memory" (Erll 2008). This concept also continued with the collectivistic strand of Halbwachs' work -"cultural memory" primarily referred to the culturally institutionalized "figures of memory" (Assmann 1995).…”

The present study found that the textbook and newspaper presentations, primarily shaped by the 1990s nation-building elites, mainly portrayed Yugoslavia in negative political, economic and ethnic terms. However, findings from 72 in-depth interviews with the two young Croatian generations suggested that the influence of the dominant negative re-evaluations was limited, particularly among the vocationally educated individuals who were least exposed to the institutionalized presentations of the Yugoslav past. In contrast, the young Croats, independently of their differences, generally dominantly evaluated Yugoslavia in positive social terms, which was a perspective obtained from their parents and older people recounting their good lives in Yugoslavia. This perspective was appropriated not only because its sources were emotionally available and credible, but also because the social lens on Yugoslavia helped the young Croats make sense of their lives in the social insecurities of the contemporary Croatian society.ix Therefore, the present study showed how different beliefs on the Yugoslav past, available from different sources, were appropriated and used by the young Croats. I also proposedInteractional Model of Collective Memories Formation, which elaborated how the influences on the beliefs of the past were formed at the macro, micro and the level of social interaction. Finally, this study also illuminated how active actors reinterpreted the presentations of the past, thus demonstrating how individuals can use culture in diverse and adept ways. They wore their hair long, discovered LSD and pot They sang about peace, with Tito they were non-aligned On national basis, they were not divided It was easy to talk philosophy in a student mess, To be a penniless artist and a musician in-between In a place where things were working out all-right, where the state functioned It was easy to be a student in the 1970s My folks -they easily found their first job Nobody hit the unemployment office with a degree in their hands The living was good in that party system Nobody talked about Goli otok, you just changed the subject The students with their hair long got a degree and got a job, got their paycheck regularly You even could get an apartment from the United Work It was easy then to have big plans To make your own nest, to be relaxed, no tensions there To have your spot in the company reserved, in the selfmanagement committee as well You stayed until you retired -all your life at the same desk Everything didn't seem as a bluff, a cheap trick in those days Nobody went hungry They were happy in their little apartment Secure job and a retirement fund It was an easy decision to have us Nothing is the same anymore, there is no secure path There is no direct flight to the stars, to the better tomorrow Black-and- (born 1989-91), was born after the break-up, but it spent its formative years in democratizing post-Yugoslav period.Both these generations were hardly able to form mature meaningful evaluations of the past. 4Rather, for th...
