Thus the issues we wanted to highlight in this conference are what can be defined as cultural heritage of a certain area, and how is it (mis)used - be it material or intangible heritage, equally important regardless of the fact whether it is something tangible, or exists only in picture, and what happens to its memory if all traces of it are long gone. The impetus for the Centre for Peace Studies to work on this topic comes from the inspiration we get from the Stojan Jankovic Castle, an unusual place in a lovely and hospitable area of the Ravni kotari («the flat lands» in the Hvala profesoru Miljenku Domijanu za stručni obilazak zadarskog poluotoka i profesorici Nataši Desnici-Žerjavić (Udruga "Mostovi") za predstavljanje Zadar hinterland in northern Dalmatia), a place that reminds Kule Jankovića. us of the long and laborious process of creating something, not necessarily in its physical sense, but also in the sense of We would like to thank Professor Miljenko Domijan who served as the expert guide of the Zadar historical centre, as well as Professor Nataša Desnica- a place that gathers and connects people, at the water spring, Žerjavić (association "Bridges") for showing us around the Janković Castle. around the table, working in the fields, or around books in its former library. It also reminds of how quickly, so quickly (but does represent some sort of a civilisation landmark) it is hard to fathom, the moment of destruction can be, both but also a chance for the good life and happiness, to borrow of physical things and the memory of them. Apart from from Aristotle, and it is worth working on these chances – the example of the Jankovic castle and how long it takes they provide a refuge from what we hear on the news with to remove the layers of (the remembrance) of conflict and horror, almost every day of any year. We see this conference violence, and the importance of what is done with it today as a definite contribution towards that chance. for both the people living around it as well as the country where it is placed, and this country's history, Petra Jurlina, Centre for Peace Studies, we discussed the ways in which the other is devalued, Zagreb, July/ August 2014 through direct violence to passive aggression typical of post- conflict societies, and ways of how to overcome this. Two events mark the days in which this book was being edited – one was the anniversary of the Great War, a catastrophe which has yet to end – minefields throughout Western Europe are still being cleared, often funded from the reparations countries had been paying to one another until only very recently (not to mention that the story of that particular war is also the story of today’s Iraq and the Middle East as well). The second one is the umpteenth escalation of violence in the area of Palestine and Israel, Gaza primarily. It was exactly in Gaza where the Sephardic Cabalist Sabbatai Zevi lived in peace in Ottoman Palestine. (Who remembers this anyway?). The supposedly backward past, the one before the tolls of nation-building, seems to have the upper hand when it comes to coexistence. One of the examples portrayed in this book comes from that particular corner of the world. Faced with the rising death statistics, talking about running for peace might seem of bad taste, funny or just sad. But we believe that there always are chances for not only tolerance which sometimes means just the bare permission to stay alive Caveat Radovi objavljeni u ovoj zbirci predstavljeni su 9. i 10. listopada 2013. godine u Zadru na konferenciji Kulturna baština i politike sjećanja organiziranoj od strane Centra za mirovne studije, održanoj u Europskom centru za međusektorsku suradnju IMPACT, u sklopu projekta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, Kula Stojana Jankovića – pokretač održivog razvoja Ravnih kotara. Prostor u kojem živimo i priče s kojima smo okruženi kroz vlastita i obiteljska sjećanja jednako su politična i važna za formiranje naših stavova i utječu na naše postupke kao i službeni povijesni narativi i vijesti kojima smo svakodnevno izloženi. Teme koje smo zato željeli aktualizirati ovom kon- ferencijom su što je sve kulturna baština i kako se sve može instrumentalizirati, bilo da je materijalna ili samo usmena, jednako važna i kad postoji samo na slici ili ako je sagrađena od betona, te gdje odlazi ako je uništena, a njezini tragovi zau- vijek zatrti? Izravan povod za razgovore o ovoj temi dolazi iz stalne inspiracije koju Centar za mirovne studije crpi iz Kule Stojana Jankovića, neobičnog mjesta u predivnom i gostoljubivom kraju Ravnih kotara, koje nas podsjeća koliko je dug proces stvaranja, ne nužno u fizičkom smislu građenja i zidanja, već i u onom prostora koji okuplja ljude, kod izvora vode, oko stola, na polju, ili oko knjige, a koliko je nestvarno kratak trenutak materijalnog uništenja i uništenja sjećanja. Osim primjera revitalizacije Kule i dugotrajnog odstranjivanja slojeva sukoba i nasilja, značenja onog što se s njom i u njoj radi za stanov- ništvo koje ju okružuje, ali i za podneblje i zemlju u kojoj je smještena, i povijest te zemlje, slušali smo i razgovarali o metodama obezvrjeđivanja drugog, da li kroz direktan sukob i nasilje, ili pasivnu agresiju tipičnu za društva s iskustvom sukoba, kao i načinima kako to sve prevazići. Dva su događaja obilježila dane u kojima se završavala ova knjiga: prvi je stogodišnjica Velikog rata – minski zaga- đena područja zapadne Europe i dalje se čiste od tog sukoba, često iz fondova ratnih reparacija koje su se isplaćivale do vrlo nedavno. Priča o tom ratu priča je i o današnjem Iraku i Bliskom istoku. Drugi je ponovna eskalacija nasilja na području Gaze, odnosno Palestine i Izraela. Tko se još sjeća vremena kada je baš u Gazi, u otomanskoj Palestini, mirno živio sefardski kabalist Sabbatai Zevi? Kada pričamo o suživotu, izgleda da nas navodno nazadna prošlost pobjeđuje, možda jer je bilo lakše živjeti u razdoblju prije tereta procesa izgradnje nacije. S ovog područja dolazi i jedna priča pred- stavljena u ovom zborniku. U svjetlu statistike smrti kojoj svjedočimo svaki dan fotografije maratona za mir bi mogle izgledati smiješno (ili tužno). No, smatramo da šanse za ne samo toleranciju, koja je često bezlična i znači samo puku dozvolu za život, ali predstavlja kakav takav civilizacijski minimum, već i za “ugodan, odnosno sretan život” (Aristotel) uvijek ima, i na takvim šansama vrijedi raditi – one su uto- čište protiv svega što slušamo na vijestima bilo kojeg dana u bilo kojoj godini. Događaje poput ove konferencije svakako vidimo kao važan doprinos toj šansi.
