Abstract

Although it is possible that most of the contemporary consumers of postmodern and conceptual artistic expression regard the medieval way of shaping and public display of national cultural monuments as quite an outdated way of the representation of cultural heritage, this paper will discuss the specifi c stone monuments known as “stećci” (singular: “stećak”). The main aim of this paper is to show that one of the key functions of a cultural phenomenon “stećci” was the establishment of the public dialogue between diff erent ethnic and religious groups in the area of the central Western Balkans.
