Memory and Form: An Exploration of the Stari Most, Mostar (BIH)
Publisher: ECMI Volume: 22 pages, pdf Description: It has been more than eight years since the symbolic Old Bridge at Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), was rebuilt, but the arguments that surround it have not waned. Various voices, conflicting views and mediated stories can be heard when the people of the city are asked about its presence, responding with myriad explanations marked by remembering and forgetting. The presence of the Old Bridge is simultaneously a number of things – history, memory, monument, ruin, a glorious past and an ambivalent future.
