Disputed Histories Workshop: |
The shift of official historical narratives that took place in ex Yugoslavia (as in many other parts of the world) at the end of the twentieth century shook our very idea of historical truth, showing us that religion, nation, ideals, identity, statehood and even personal identity are not given by God (or nature) but are subject to variations and transformations. While Yugoslavia's federation was breaking into small national entities, each of those producing parallel historical narratives, the rest of Europe was going through a process of unification and removal of territorial boundaries; two processes that seem to go in opposite directions. This workshop will address the comparative reading, interpretation and reassembly of history textbooks of modern times from the territory of former Yugoslavia, and Germany (East and West) issued 'before the wall, between the wall and the towers and after the towers'. It will address the visual, linguistic and literary analysis of selected materials from very personal perspectives and experiences, creating new content using the technique of assemblage. |
