✍️ The article discusses the concept of monuments and their changing significance in the face of shifting societal values and identities. Historian Daniel Rico argues that monuments are not just physical structures, but also symbolic representations of power and memory.
👉 Monuments are not just physical structures, but also symbolic representations of power and memory.
👉 Monuments can be problematic when they are used to silence or erase the memories of marginalized groups.
👉 The concept of monumentality has changed over time, and what was once seen as a symbol of national pride may now be viewed as a symbol of oppression.
👉 Legislation can shape our understanding of monuments and memory, as seen in Germany's laws on the use of Nazi symbols.
