Title Displaying a contested past: The Museum of the Macedonian Struggle and the shifting post-socialist historical discourses in Macedonia
Summary The project examines the newly emerged Museum of the Macedonian Struggle, as an exceptional case of a museum regarding its narrative structure. The main focus of analysis will be put on the historical narrative presented in the Museum on one hand, as part of the meta-historical narrative conducted by VMRO-DPMNE’s government in contemporary Republic of Macedonia, and on the other hand, the functional purpose, the political and institutional aftermath of the Museum. Finally, it will be argued that the Museum brings a particularly univocal, top-down version of one particular historical narrative, as a discursive feature with legitimizing political function.
