Transformations of the Slavija Square in Belgrade: History, Memory and Construction od Identity = Preobražaj trga Slavija u Beogradu: istorija, sećanje i konstrukcija identiteta

Abstract

Despite the fact that it represents an urban focal point of the city, Slavija Square has remained a paradigm of ideological and physical marginality in Belgrade's recent history. It's complex ideological heritage, the systems of values that was implicit to the area over the course of history, have proven complex and fraught with conspicuous problems. The square has become one of the central markers of a tradition that for many reasons can today be considered as unwanted and problematic.
