The project objective is to identify, analyze and scrutinize alternative and official but contested memory sites in Kosovo, by contrasting them with established historical narratives (history books) and archive material, with the aim of producing a new multi-perspective understanding of memory and memorialization in Kosovo, which will contribute to a constructive dealing with the past debate in Kosovo. The project counts 4 ateliers subjecting various memorials and sites of remembrance in Kosovo, each representing a historical, political and social discourse, plus the fifth atelier focusing on outreach and follow-up activities. The first and second atelier/s of the “Memory Mapping Kosovo” project took place in mid-March 2014 and end-June 2014, respectively. The 3rd and 4th atelier/s will be implemented during 11-14 September, 2014; merged into a single but extended atelier. During the final atelier/s of the project (atelier#3&4), we will focus on “Brotherhood and Unity” memory site and private house school “Sami Frasheri” from ‘90s parallel system, and the ways in which these sights/objects are remembered today, ways in which they are politicized, and part of cultural memory negotiations. Participants will be asked to consider the intersections between history and politics in public and private spaces, and specifically the relevance of these sites to transformations of state in Kosovo. The final project atelier/s (atelier#3&4) consist of a one-day sight visit to “Brotherhoodand Unity” memorial and private house school Sami Frasheri from the ‘90s parallel system, and a three-day intensive workshop. The visit and workshop will generate discussion and analysis based on: (1) the information and experience gained from the visit, (2) the historical narrative of the events memorialized in the site (literature, oral history, testimony, etc.), and (3) available archive materials. With the completion of atelier/s sessions and follow-up activities, participants will be awarded with a forumZFD, Alter Halibuts, Institute for Social Studies and Humanities and the University Program for Gender Studies and Research (University of Prishtina) certificate. In addition to, and influenced by the “Memory Mapping Kosovo” project and ateliers, the University Program for Gender Studies and Research (University of Prishtina), within the “Prishtina International Summer University 2015”, will organize the course “Politics of Cultural Memory in Europe: State, Nation and Citizenship.” Students participating in the ateliers will have a significant advantage considering the experience gained in the field of memory studies.
