| description |
Almost every year since 2001, on 13 January, a commemorative plaque
dedicated to Mara Buneva is mounted and, on several occasions, demolished in
the centre of Skopje. Buneva (1902-1928), who was affiliated with the rightist
interwar Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organisation (Vnatrešna
Makedonska Revolucionerna Organizacija, VMRO), is famous for her
assassination of Velimir Prelić (1883-1928), a high-ranking representative of
the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (Kingdom SHS) on the territory of
today’s North Macedonia, as well as her immediate suicide at the crime-scene.
The present paper aims to trace the so-called mnemohistory of commemorations
of Mara Buneva in Skopje by triangulating the historical and media discourses
and political rhetoric over the commemorative events from 2001 to 2018. I argue
that the discursive shift over Mara Buneva, as well as over the commemorations
themselves, occurred after a set of groupist claims over a particular memory
site. |
