Prof. Senija Čaušević, from the University of SOAS in London, is concluding her two-month hosting at UP FTŠ Turistica. She has been researching the topic of ‘Commemoration and traumatic pasts: between memory and consumerism (understanding dissonant heritage in Istria and Friuli’ together with her host prof. Metod Šuligoj, within the framework of the INNOTUR project.
In February, they applied ethnographic approaches to research while visiting museums of the Upper Adriatic (Italy, Slovenia, Croatia) as well as at commemorative events such as the Day of Remembrance in Bazovica, the opening of an exhibition related to the Great War in Pivka, and the commemoration in Strunjan. In an adapted format, they will continue with field research in April. This will be followed by the more demanding processing of textual and photographic material and, of course, the drafting of approximately two scientific articles which they intend to publish in journals with high impact factors. During her visit, Dr. Čaušević also met with other researchers at the faculty.
Dr. Senija Čaušević delves deeply into the area of commercialization and commodification, with a particular emphasis on post-conflict zones. In this regard, she has several notably impactful scientific publications, such as:
