New special issue of Traditiones

The thematic issue “Heritage on the Margins? Central and Eastern European Perspectives”, published in the scientific journal Traditiones  54/1 and edited by Špela Ledinek Lozej and Nataša Rogelja Caf, reflects heritage-making processes in the Central and Eastern European context. It links discussions of our multidisciplinary research program on heritage-making processes with case studies presented at the first conference of the Central and Eastern Europe Chapter of the Association of Critical Heritage Studies (CEE Chapter of ACHS, November 2023, Ljubljana). The focus of the issue is heritage formation and the performative influence of heritage in minority, remote, linguistic, industrial, (post)imperial, (post)socialist, and otherwise marginalized settings. The thread that runs through the thematic issue highlights explicit or implicit distance from the core European narratives. Articles included reflect on questions such as: How to think about marginality and centrality from within this part of the world? What can be gained by approaching European heritage and memory from CEE? What are the inner margins of CEE? See more: https://ojs.zrc-sazu.si/traditiones.
