Vjollca Krasniqi Cultures of History Forum Constant vigil at the cemetery of the extended Jashari family Author: Vjollca Krasniqi Between History and Memory: The Jashari Family Memorial in Prekaz (Kosovo) Vjollca Krasniqi Cultures of History Forum, published: 25.07.2016 DOI: 10.25626/0052 This article discusses the ways in which history and historical reasoning are integrated into memorialization practices in Kosovo, with a special focus on the Jashari Family Memorial. It demonstrates that as a dominant part of collective memory in Kosovo, the memorial is a site of discursive and memorial acts as well as performative cultural practices in the service of the nation. It is a staple of the ways in which the past is represented and how its meaning is maintained through commemoration.
