Tourism, Conflict and Contested Heritage in Former Yugoslavia

Tourism, Conflict and Contested Heritage in Former YugoslaviaAuthor(s): Josef Ploner, Patrick Naef\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138744516, 978-1138744516\nSynopsis\nDescribed as cultural crossroads or mosaic, powder keg, border, bridge or Europes Other, the region comprising former Yugoslavia has, over time, conjured up ambiguous imaginaries associated with political unrest, national contest and ethnic divide. Since the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the succeeding Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s, both the geography and historiography of the region have been thoroughly reconfigured, which has impacted the ways in which heritage is interpreted and used at local, regional and national levels. In this ongoing process of heritage (re)interpretation, tourism is more than just a dark spectacle. While it can be seen as a catalyst through which to filter or normalise dissonant memories, it can also be utilised as a powe.
