Abstract:

Demonstrating the range of linguistic and semiotic practices which are
deployed in the construction of war memory, "The Burden of Traumascapes"
investigates the discourses of remembering that are enculturated in the
everyday lives of the people of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Maida Kosatica explores
how the memory and narratives of the Bosnian War (1992-5) convey and
renegotiate historical acts of violence in quite ordinary, banal ways and
extend the war into the present day.<p>

Reintroducing the concept of 'traumascapes', this book demonstrates that
semiotic landscapes are marked by traumatic legacies of violence in which the
sense of trauma establishes its meaning through the discourses of remembering.
In this context, this book argues that discourses of remembering, whether
constructed in physical or virtual spaces, stem simultaneously from personal
and collective needs to follow moral orders and responsibility, as well as
from political, pedagogical and economic demands.
