Built-Heritage and Memory Making: Case Study of the Recent Conservation Practice in Croatia

Diplomski rad donosi inter- i multidisciplinarnu analizu tvorbe sjećanja na slučaju iz recentne konzervatorske prakse. Etnološka i kulturnoantropološka analiza temelji se na teorijskim postavkama antropologije sjećanja te nastoji razjasniti na koje se sve načine društveno sjećanje ostvaruje kroz arhitektonsku baštinu. Kvalitativna metoda intervjua kombinirana je s diskurzivnom analizom primarnih i sekundarnih pisanih izvora, dokumenata, teorijskih tekstova i srodne građe. Povijesnoumjetnička analiza usredotočena je ponajprije na prepoznavanje povijesnih mijena unutar konzervatorstva i različite načine na koje se struka odnosila prema sjećanju i načinima na koje se ono stvaralo kroz baštinu. Navedene povijesne, narativne i teoretske analize čine prvu cjelinu rada dok se u drugome dijelu razmatra studija slučaja čazmanske župne crkve Svete Marije Magdalene. Tim primjerom nastoji se proučiti na koje se konkretne načine ostvaruju veze arhitekture i sjećanja te sjećanja i konzerviranja. Rad upućuje na višestruki utjecaj konzerviranja i restauriranja prilikom tvorbe sjećanja te poziva na interdisciplinarni pristup kako bi se pomirili pogledi odozdo i odozgo.This master’s thesis provides inter- and multidisciplinary analysis of the memory-making on the case study from recent conservation practice. The anthropological analysis is based on the theoretical assumptions of anthropology of collective memory and tries to identify various ways in which collective memory is realized through architectural heritage. The qualitative method of interviews is combined with discursive analysis of primary and secondary written sources, documents, theoretical texts and related materials. Art-historical analysis focuses primarily on the recognition of historical changes within the conservation discourse and the various ways in which the profession refers to the collective memory and the ways in which it is created through heritage. The aforementioned historical, narrative and theoretical analysis forms the first part of the work, while in the second part is dedicated to the case study of the parish church of St. Mary Magdalene in Čazma. The goal of the case study is to examine the specific ways in which the links between collective memory and both architecture and conservation develop. The research points to the importance and consequences of conservation and restoration in the creation of collective memory and advocates for an interdisciplinary approach in order to reconcile the views from below and from above
