Experts and Enthusiasts in the Great War Memorial Landscapes: Incommensurability and Complementation in War Heritage Conservation

Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the making of the Great War memorial landscapes in the Soča Valley in Slovenia, and differences in related conservation activities by two unevenly positioned heritage agents: experts and enthusiasts. The first are public employees who own mandate for an “authorized heritage discourse”. The second are a handful of inhabitants of the valley, who operate as volunteers and/or entrepreneurs. The paper compares their discourses, values and practices, points at their incommensurability, but also proposes that they prove complemental to each other.
