Remembering Suffering and Resistance. Memory Politics and the Serbian Orthodox Church
Original language description
The main purpose of my book is to explore the motivations, forms, strategies, and outcomes of the mnemonic engagement of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) in post-2000 Serbia. I argue that for late-modern societies a compact presence of the past in the present is of crucial importance. The search for collective memory is especially urgent in the light of societal insecurity to which Churches may provide an effective response. Religious institutions, therefore, often employ their mnemonic potential to reaffirm their public relevance. I demonstrate that this applies to the SPC's mnemonic activities related to the memory of Serbian heroic victimhood in World War II. World War II has been an object of multidimensional mnemonic interplay, and thus exposes the SPC's mnemonic engagement in its multilayered complexity. Drawing general patterns of the SPC's positioning in the public sphere, my writing may also serve to situate similarly complex public actors in processes of social reproduction.
