| Title | Contested Lieux de Memoire in Central Europe: The Case of Devin and Brasov |
| Summary | This paper examines how the castle of Devín (Slovakia) and the city of Braşov (Romania) have been incorporated into the national canons of the neighboring nations (Magyars, Germans, Slovaks/Romanians). Both spots were used extensively throughout the last two centuries for various purposes, ranging from nation-building to ecclesiastical and communist aims. The study of the changing nature of these sites gives an insight to local societies: it serves as an indicator showing the attitude to nation-building, assimilation, and so on. |
