Abstract

Throughout the Post-Yugoslav Wars in Croatia, Bosnia-Hercegovina and Kosovo in the years of 19911999 as well as during the so-called “March riots” of 17 and 18 March 2004 in Kosovo a large number of immovable cultural and religious objects were destroyed or heavily damaged. Moreover, thousands of movable objects belonging to the cultural heritage of the region were (mostly illegally) removed from collections, places of their origin or conventionally agreed locations of display.

A careful comparison of all relevant sources, both regional and international, shows that altogether 6103 individual built objects (Croatia 1602, Bosnia-Hercegovina 4024, Kosovo 477) belonging to the religious and cultural heritage of the region were destroyed or more or less heavily damaged in the course of war. A precise account of destroyed, stolen or otherwise illegally removed movable cultural and religious objects on the other hand can barely be given since the relevant archives and classification systems of the republics of the former Socialist Yugoslav Federation were for different reasons partially corrupted and characterized by a high degree of inconsistency.

Exhaustive investigations of the religious and cultural heritage destroyed during the Post-Yugoslav Wars in the years of 1991-1999 and 2004 by relevant international and supranational institutions as UNESCO, ICOMOS, ICOM or responsible European institutions were never conducted. All attempts from this side to evaluate the destruction and damage in respect of quantity and quality were deficient, incomplete and characterized by a remarkable lack of knowledge as well of the region itself as of its historical and cultural specifics. More than two decades after the wars in Croatia, Bosnia-Hercegovina and Kosovo only a fractional part of the destroyed and damaged cultural and religious heritage has been investigated and confirmed independently by international institutions not belonging to any of the warring parties.

The dissertation thesis, submitted by the candidate in June 2016 at the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Science at the Technische Universität Dresden (TUD), is the result of more than ten years of research on the history and fate of the cultural heritage on the Balkan Peninsula, focusing on the territory of the former Yugoslavia.

It locates the destruction of cultural heritage during the Post-Yugoslav Wars in the years of 1991-1999 as well as the anti-Serbian riots in Kosovo in March 2004 in a broader historical investigation on the history and fate of cultural heritage since the emergence of the Balkan nation states at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century, especially focusing on the different political caesura as the national uprisings against Ottoman rule in Serbia, Greece and Bulgaria, furthermore the

occupation of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia by Nazi-Germany from 1941 to 1945 as well as the “Second Yugoslavia” under communist rule.

Thematically it focuses on the fate of the heterogeneous cultural and religious heritage of the various religious and ethnic groups as the Catholic, Orthodox, Muslim and Jewish sacred architecture, including the fate of the communist monuments erected between 1945 and 1991. Therefore, it investigates the heritage policies of the different political systems in the territory of the former Yugoslavia since the beginning of the nineteenth century in close relation to the transforming political and social discourses.

Methodically the dissertation thesis is based on the Discourse analysis as developed by the French historian and philosopher Michel Foucault, further developed by scholars as Achim Landwehr (historical discourse analysis) and Sigfried Jäger (critical discourse analysis). Thus, the thesis investigates statements and utterances made in the different regional and international discourses on the destruction of cultural heritage as given in both regional and international media, institutional and scientific publications as well as in the political propaganda of the warring parties in the years from 1991 to 2014.

It contains a great quantity of original documents (in copy) regarding the cultural heritage of the region e.g. by now unpublished statistics on built heritage, the documentation of the transport of whole archives from Kosovo to Serbia during the course of the war, imagery of the destroyed and damaged objects and reactions of various individual authors.

The dissertation thesis will be available as hard copy in German language at the Sächsische Landesbibliothek – Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden (SLUB) in November 2016. A further publication as well as a translation into English language is in preparation.
