  • Yugoslav Macedonia
    Anticommunist, but Macedonian: Politics of Memory in Post-Yugoslav Macedonia (5,579 words) “The dead heroes of Macedonia, albeit as ghosts, will rise against all of you who will decide to give your support to this harmful plan. Through the destruction of the monuments of the antifascist war, you destroy the present and the future of our country .” 1 In the famous Lieux de mémoire , the French historian Pierre Nora outlines the main forms of a worldwide process identified by him as a ‘global upsurge of memory.’ These involve the critique of the official versions of history and the return to what was hidden away; the search for an obfuscated or ‘confiscated’ past; the cult of ‘roots’ and the development of genealogical investigations; the boom in fervent celebrations and commemorations; legal settlement of past ‘scores’ between different social groups; the growing number of all kinds of museums; the rising need for conservation of archives but also for their opening to the public; and the new attachment to ‘heritage’ ( patrimoine in French).2 It is easy to find many similar symptoms in the contemporary public space of the Republic of Macedonia. Since its independence in 1991, political and academic entrepreneurs have promoted, sometimes with opposite goals, new versions of national history. The cult of millenary roots and the genealogical and ‘ethnogenetical’ (para-)historiographic genres are becoming ever more popular and in some circles at least, the heritage of ancient Macedonia and its famous rulers – Philip and Alexander – is embraced as a token of national pride. 3 In 2003, an impressively long list of commemorations marked the centennial of the anti-Ottoman St.

  • The Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization and the Idea for Autonomy for Macedonia and Adrianople Thrace
    The Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization and the Idea for Autonomy for Macedonia and Adrianople Thrace, 1893-1912 By Martin Valkov Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Prof. Tolga Esmer Second Reader: Prof. Roumen Daskalov CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2010 “Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author. Copies by any process, either in full or part, may be made only in accordance with the instructions given by the Author and lodged in the Central European Library. Details may be obtained from the librarian. This page must form a part of any such copies made. Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author.” CEU eTD Collection ii Abstract The current thesis narrates an important episode of the history of South Eastern Europe, namely the history of the Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization and its demand for political autonomy within the Ottoman Empire. Far from being “ancient hatreds” the communal conflicts that emerged in Macedonia in this period were a result of the ongoing processes of nationalization among the different communities and the competing visions of their national projects. These conflicts were greatly influenced by inter-imperial rivalries on the Balkans and the combination of increasing interference of the Great European Powers and small Balkan states of the Ottoman domestic affairs. I argue that autonomy was a multidimensional concept covering various meanings white-washed later on into the clean narratives of nationalism and rebirth.

    Südosteuropa 66 (2018), no. 4, pp. 451-480 PAUL REEF Macedonian Monument Culture Beyond ‘Skopje 2014’ Abstract. While recent studies on Macedonia have mostly focused on ‘Skopje 2014’ as a unique- ly excessive project of nation-building, this article analyses local developments in monument culture elsewhere in Macedonia. Disentangling the processes of nation-building since the Ohrid Agreement of 2001, the author distinguishes three coexisting, but competing, reper- toires of monument culture, namely a Yugoslav, a Macedonian, and an Albanian one. Each repertoire has been closely associated with ethnicity and the legitimation of ethnopolitical claims, as well as party politics and ideology. The past has continued to divide Macedonians. The author argues that these divisions in Macedonian monument culture reflect the compet- ing and diverging Albanian and Macedonian historical narratives, and amount to effectively mutually exclusive ethnic and ideological nation-building efforts in post-Ohrid Macedonia. Paul Reef is a Research Master’s student in Historical Studies at the Institute for Historical, Literary and Cultural Studies at Radboud University Nijmegen and a Research Intern for the project ‘The Invention of Bureaucracy’ at the University of Aarhus. Beyond ‘Skopje 2014’ ‘Skopje 2014’ was one of the largest urban-renewal and -construction pro- grammes in Europe since the fall of communism. It aimed at transforming Skopje from a brutalist Yugoslav city into a modern, attractive, neoclassicist capital up to European standards. The project included well over a hundred buildings, from opera halls and hotels to orthodox churches and museums. Additionally, Yugoslav-era edifices were either destroyed or refitted with -neo classical façades.

  • The Museum of the Macedonian Struggle and the Shifting Post-Socialist Historical Discourses in Macedonia
    Displaying a contested past: The Museum of the Macedonian Struggle and the shifting post-socialist historical discourses in Macedonia By Naum Trajanovski Submitted to Central European University Nationalism Studies Program In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Michael Laurence Miller CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2016 Abstract The project examines the newly emerged Museum of the Macedonian Struggle, as an exceptional case of a museum regarding its historical narrative and the visual representation of the narrative structure. The main analytical focus will be put on the historical narrative presented in the Museum on one hand, as part of the meta-historical narrative conducted by VMRO-DPMNE‟s government in contemporary Republic of Macedonia, and on the other hand, the functional purpose, the political and institutional aftermath of the Museum. Therefore, it will be argued that the Museum brings a particularly univocal, top-down version of one particular historical narrative, as a discursive feature with legitimizing political function. Finally, the thesis will focus on the particular need to establish museum of this kind, and moreover, will engage with the question why a museum as an institution and particular form of institutionalized memory is propounded as a solution in the contemporary Macedonian socio-political context. Key words: Museum of the Macedonian Struggle, Macedonia, historical museums, national narration, contested past CEU eTD Collection ii Acknowledgements I would like to express my deepest appreciation to my supervisor Professor Michael Laurence Miller, for the guidance during the writing process and for the constructive comments. I wish to acknowledge the help of the faculty and the staff members of the CEU Nationalism Studies Program.

On one hand, its official stance has always been the realization of a ‘Macedonia for the Macedonians’; its members and followers promote the Macedonian culture; and they call themselves Macedonians. On the other hand, the MPO leadership has often negated the existence of ethnic Macedonians and a Macedonian language, and the MPO bylaws claim that the term ‘Macedonian’ has no ethnic connotation. Moreover, the bylaws list ethnic groups that hail from Macedonia, which conspicuously does not include ethnic Macedonians.1 To the MPO leadership and many of its members, the ethnic Macedonian identity is an invention of Yugoslav Communist leader Josip Broz Tito. Yes, the MPO indeed says it is an organization of Macedonians. By this, however, it only means that its members originate from geographical Macedonia and that their language and ethnic identity is Bulgarian. Thus, while on certain levels the MPO can be considered a ‘pro-Macedonia’ organization, it cannot be classified as a ‘pro-Macedonian’ group.2 Some readers may therefore rightfully find it puzzling that I have expended much effort in writing a book about the MPO.
