Memorials in the Expanded Field - Typology of Memorials from the Socialist Era in Croatia and Slovenia

Social and political demands after new modes of transferring social memory, that had been present in the socialist Yugoslavia since the late 1950s, were partially manifested through the decline of traditional memorial types and gradual acceptance of new morphologies as well as stylistic and formal approaches to the memorials dedicated to the National Liberation War, Socialist revolution and workers’ movement. Comparable artistic strategies of expanding the field of public memorial sculpture are explained on chosen examples of memorials in the urban context in Croatia and those erected in Maribor during the 1960s and '70s.
