  • Kruk Latvia Statues
    Conference on the Historical Use of Images Vrije Universiteit Brussel, 10-11 March 2009 Wars of Statues: Ius imaginum and Damnatio memoriae in the 20th century Latvia. Sergei Kruk In Latvia outdoor sculpture functions as a medium of political communication. Transformations of political regime engendered the alteration of representation politics aimed at attesting the new power relations. Not always the authorities can topple down a monument and erect a new one to propagate an unambiguous political message. More subtle methods are exploited to depreciate the unwanted sculptures and to break in the public sphere with new political messages. This paper conceptualises the peculiarities of this kind of political communication in semiotic terms. Among the most popular practices are renaming of monuments, change or addition of inscriptions, circulation of new explanations, permitting of natural decay and banal vandalism, modification of environment around the sculpture, and its inclusion in rituals. Outdoor sculpture as a medium of political communication Latvia has experienced several waves of erection and destruction of monuments in the 20th century. The change of representation practice coincided with the political transformations in the state. As a part of the memory rewriting project, ostensibly the commemoration of persons and events asserted the regime change and legitimised the power relations. Sculpture’s peculiar role in political communication owes to the treatment of visual icon in Russian and Latvian cultural tradition. Roman legal terms ius imaginum and damnatio memoriae are used in the title to highlight that the controversy over outdoor sculpture has deep roots in the millennia long debate on visual iconicity.

  • A Reconstructed Indigenous Religious Tradition in Latvia
    religions Article A Reconstructed Indigenous Religious Tradition in Latvia Anita Stasulane Faculty of Humanities, Daugavpils University, Daugavpils LV-5401, Latvia; [email protected] Received: 31 January 2019; Accepted: 11 March 2019; Published: 14 March 2019 Abstract: In the early 20th century, Dievtur¯ıba, a reconstructed form of paganism, laid claim to the status of an indigenous religious tradition in Latvia. Having experienced various changes over the course of the century, Dievtur¯ıba has not disappeared from the Latvian cultural space and gained new manifestations with an increase in attempts to strengthen indigenous identity as a result of the pressures of globalization. This article provides a historical analytical overview about the conditions that have determined the reconstruction of the indigenous Latvian religious tradition in the early 20th century, how its form changed in the late 20th century and the types of new features it has acquired nowadays. The beginnings of the Dievturi movement show how dynamic the relationship has been between indigeneity and nationalism: indigenous, cultural and ethnic roots were put forward as the criteria of authenticity for reconstructed paganism, and they fitted in perfectly with nativist discourse, which is based on the conviction that a nation’s ethnic composition must correspond with the state’s titular nation. With the weakening of the Soviet regime, attempts emerged amongst folklore groups to revive ancient Latvian traditions, including religious rituals as well. Distancing itself from the folk tradition preservation movement, Dievtur¯ıba nowadays nonetheless strives to identify itself as a Latvian lifestyle movement and emphasizes that it represents an ethnic religion which is the people’s spiritual foundation and a part of intangible cultural heritage.

    FREEDOM MONUMENT The unveiling of the Freedom Monument. November 18, 1935. The Freedom Monument is one the most outstanding historical, architectural and artistical monuments in Latvia.

The project design competition was held in several rounds and lasted eight years. The monument’s Kārlis Zāle’s 100th birthday celebration. October 28, 1988 foundation stone was put into place on November 18, 1931. The Freedom Monument was unveiled and dedicated on November 18, 1935.

  • OUR PATH to INDEPENDENCE Curator ILMĀRS ZNOTIŅŠ THOSE PEOPLE in the PHOTOGRAPHS THAT WAS US
    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Latvia Photo exhibition dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the barricades 1991 OUR PATH TO INDEPENDENCE Curator ILMĀRS ZNOTIŅŠ THOSE PEOPLE IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT WAS US. So courageous and fearless. Resolved and steadfast. Bewildered and hopeful, overcome by naive enthusiasm. So full of conviction and strong, so fervent and self-denying. Industrious and unsel sh. Empathetic and just. And so joyfully radiant and happy. Those ve years – from the rst feeble sprouts of daring planted by the human rights protection group ‘Helsinki 86’, to the spontaneous enthusiasm and fervour of the masses not yet cognizant of their power until the conscious demand for the renewal of Latvia’s independence – those years one cannot forget. So rm was our stubbornness, our resolve, our will – to be free. We would be free. That conviction came from our parents’ and grandparents’ stories, from our ancestral legends, from memories of our childhood and youth, which had taken root in our senses and our conscience so forcibly that even an axe couldn’t excise them, from old photographs or the pages of a book that bear testimony that once there was a Latvia. Day by day it grew in strength, carrying all of us along, and only the rare person could stand aside and not get involved. The window that had been opened a crack to get rid of stagnant air, was ung wide open by a gust of wind and nothing could then delay the bracing tornado, that turned inside out all the lies, the myths, that which had been silenced over the decades under a layer of dust and rubbish to reveal a clean and shining vein of truth.

Rundāns BASc, Waterloo, 1975 BA, Victoria, 2008 Supervisory Committee Dr. Serhy Yekelchyk (Department of History) Supervisor Dr. Perry Biddiscombe, (Department of History) Departmental Member iii Abstract Supervisory Committee Dr Serhy Yekelchyk (Department of History) Supervisor Dr. Perry Biddiscombe (Department of History) Departmental Member Despite significant evidence to the contrary in the Latvian language, especially the memoirs of General Pēteris Radzinš, Latvians, historians included, and others, have persisted in mythologizing the military events of 8 October to 11 November 1919 in Riga as some sort of national miracle. Since this Latvian army victory, first celebrated as Lāčplēsis Day on 11 November1920, accounts of this battle have been unrepresented, poorly represented or misrepresented. For example, the 2007 historical film Rīgas Sargi (The Defenders of Riga) uses the 1888 poem Lāčplēsis by Andrējs Pumpurs as a template to portray the Latvians successfully defeating the German-Russian force on their own without Allied military aid. Pumpurs’ dream and revolutionary legacy has provided a well used script for Latvian nation building.
