Author: Marks Dauß, Valentine von Fellenberg (eds.)
Monuments are sites of collective memory – and increasingly, the subject of controversy. This volume combines different methodological approaches and disciplinary perspectives to analyse the complex dynamics of monument settings, critique and transformations. It examines the setting and toppling of monuments as symbolic acts reflecting power relations, and analyses the scope of iconological, semiotic or metaphor-theoretical perspectives. Historical developments are addressed, such as the instrumentalisation of monuments in the creation of national identity, as are current debates on monuments, e.g. those critical of colonialism.
