Burgenland: Agonistic Memory in an Acknowledged Multicultural Borderland?

What is it about?

The chapter focuses on how a multicultural society and a borderland past are represented in the urban tissue and at Burgenland’s centenary exhibitions. By analysing both the visual and narrative representations, the author critically engages with theoretical and practical approaches used for memorialisation and their successes and limitations to identify the opportunities and challenges of adapting agonistic memorialisation in a non-conflict borderland.
