Abstract
This chapter discusses the work of younger memory activists in Belgrade,
which I refer to as the second generation, and the ways this generation
articulates their mnemonic claims and practices concerning Serbia’s
recent difficult past. It also examines processes of continuity and change
in memory activism in Serbia, from variations on the way activists express
their mnemonic claims, to innovations in mnemonic practices unveiled
alongside the continuation of already established commemorative rituals.
Memory activism addressing the war in Kosovo is also explored in this
chapter, as well as additional memory work related to the mass graves in
Batajnica. The chapter ends by capturing acts of resistance to the glorification
of war crimes and war criminals, and memory activism as protest.
