Abstract
The Introduction provides a theoretical and methodological contextualisation of studying memory and generation in the context of post-war Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It critically assesses scholarly divisions between personal and collective memory as well as between memory and history, and outlines the narrative approach to remembering that this study pursues, including the analysis of personal and transmitted memories as well as memory politics in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina. The chapter puts forward the author’s aim to bridge the division between personal and collective memory, by focusing on generational memory. Moreover, central concepts of the book, such as ‘generational positioning’ and the distinction between ‘discursive strategies’ and ‘discursive tactics’ are discussed.
