While in recent years Much of the scholarly work and popular production focuses on the officially sanctioned memory landscape taking for granted that monuments are installed by the Yugoslav government in a unilateral top-down direction, a more in-depth research shows how vernacular memory cultures produced several examples of bottom-up memory signs. Thus, Slovenia had in 1961 the highest number of partisan memorials in Yugoslavia: 4035. However, it would be misleading to think that this memory activism developed without disagreements. Even if, since 1948, when it was founded the Federation of Associations of Combatants, this umbrella organization was in charge for the control and the coordination of the construction of monuments to the fallen, local committees continued to have a primary role. The construction of memorials involved the cooperation of many individuals (architects, engineers, as well as intellectuals who wrote tombstone inscriptions) and companies (particularly construction companies) in an intermingling of private initiatives and public support, memory activism and socialist narratives, official remembrance and private mourning. Often local committees however, in contrast with the veteran’s association and State institutions, imposed their view on the form and the content of the memorial site. These tensions invert the perspective of a civil society as a passive subject of decision making, dependent on and subjugated to the socialist regime and shows that local communities seek to define themselves and their memory in ways that might be at variance with desires of central officesL‘analisi mette in discussione l‘odierna rappresentazione del retaggio monumentale della guerra di liberazione in Jugoslavia, che viene spesso illustrata attraverso giganteschi complessi memoriali e che, oltre ad essere capolavori modernistici, sarebbero la prova di un‘imposizione della memoria da parte del regime socialista. Al contrario, ricostruendo invece le vicende dell‘erezione di monumenti a livello locale nel primo decennio postbellico, si riscopre un attivismo memoriale da parte della societa civile, che non sempre coincide con i progetti e le visioni delle autorita statali. In questo modo il quadro di una societa jugoslava vittima inerme e prigioniera dei dettami dell’ideologia socialista si dimostra errato e le relazioni tra Stato e societa dinamiche e frastagliateRaziskava postavlja pod vprašaj odnos do partizanske spomeniške dediščine, ki se prikazuje predvsem z gigantskimi skulpturami, zgrajenimi na območju večjih bitk ali masakrov na območju bivše Jugoslavije. To so bili veliki državni projekti v rokah najpomembnejših umetnikov, a so le del razvejane in raznolike spomeniške paradigme povezave z narodnoosvobodilno borbo. Z analizo spomenikov, ki so nastali neposredno po drugi svetovni vojni in v naslednjih nekaj letih, je, nasprotno, mogoče ugotoviti, da spomeniki NOB niso bili (samo) državni projekti, temveč večstranska dejavnost, ki kaže na dinamičen odnos med civilno družbo in državnimi institucijami. Na tak način se tudi podoba domnevno pasivne družbe, ujete v primež spominskega monopola socialističnega državnega aparata in ideologije, pokaže v drugačni lučiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza na Primorskem, Znanstveno-raziskovalno središče Koper
