Identity, memory, and transitional justice -- Conservation and reinvention : remaking symbols -- Erasing or replacing symbols -- Creating new symbols -- Cultural heritage as pragmatism.

"During transition, cultural heritage can be used to create, resurrect and preserve certain narratives about the past that significantly impact national cultural identity and the overall possible directions of the transitional process.

The recording of atrocity and violence, in processes comparable to cultural heritage, could be a way to address its causes"-- Provided by publisher.
