- This 90.000-word text represents four years of multi-stranded research into complex cultural and socio-political dynamics related to contemporary meanings of the past at multiple levels, from national political discourse to cultural institutions and people’s everyday lives and opinions. Significant primary research included historical scholarship, critical analysis of museum displays, extensive interviews with cultural producers, visitor observations over several weeks and over 100 interviews with museum visitors. Some of the latter were in-depth ethnographies taking at least one day each, to gain fine-grained understandings of visitors’ cultural and emotional lives and the intersection of these with political and social divisions.
