Download or read book Mostar Travel Guide written by Daniel Windsor and published by Interactive Media Licensing. This book was released on 2024-06-14 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nestled in the heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mostar stands as a testament to resilience, beauty, and the enduring spirit of its people. With a history dating back to the Middle Ages, this charming city has witnessed the rise and fall of empires, survived conflicts, and emerged as a symbol of unity and reconciliation. Before delving into the depths of its rich tapestry, let us embark on a journey through the Preface of Mostar. To understand Mostar is to delve into its storied past. The origins of the city trace back to the 15th century when it served as an important trading center under the Ottoman Empire. Its name, "Mostar," derives from the Old Bridge (Stari Most), an architectural marvel that spans the Neretva River and serves as the city's most iconic symbol. Throughout the centuries, Mostar flourished as a melting pot of cultures, where East met West, and diverse communities coexisted harmoniously. However, the 20th century brought tumultuous times, marked by the breakup of Yugoslavia and the Bosnian War. Mostar bore witness to significant destruction during this period, with the iconic Stari Most reduced to rubble. Despite the ravages of war, Mostar refused to succumb to despair. In the aftermath of conflict, the city embarked on a journey of reconstruction, guided by a shared vision of healing and reconciliation. The painstaking restoration of the Stari Most in 2004 served as a powerful symbol of Mostar's resilience and determination to rebuild. One of the most captivating aspects of Mostar is its cultural diversity, which is reflected in its architecture, cuisine, and traditions. Walking through the cobbled streets of the Old Town, visitors encounter a fusion of Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, and Mediterranean influences. The sound of muezzin calls mingles with church bells, echoing the city's rich tapestry of religious heritage. Mostar's journey towards reconciliation is an ongoing process, marked by efforts to bridge divides and foster dialogue between communities. While scars of the past remain visible, initiatives such as the Mostar Peace Project and cultural exchange programs seek to promote understanding and tolerance among residents. As Mostar continues to evolve, it remains a city of contrasts, where ancient traditions intersect with modern aspirations. Whether marveling at the architectural wonders of the Old Bridge or savoring the flavors of Bosnian cuisine, visitors are sure to be captivated by the allure of Mostar. In the pages that follow, we invite you to delve deeper into the heart of this enchanting city, where every cobblestone tells a story, and every smile reflects the indomitable spirit of its people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent history has seen Bosnian and Herzegovinian (BiH) cities undergoing several transitions. Their cities have developed under socialism (1945 – 1992), have suffered through the civil war during the 1990s, and during the last twenty years have been undergoing a slow and multifaceted transition to an indeterminate end point. Focusing on the post-socialist, postwar, and neoliberal transitions experienced in BiH, the book shows that planning systems deviated from control-oriented and top-down regulation to flexible approaches for more open for informal development. The book analyzes several levels of planning-related processes: the former Yugoslavia, BiH, the city of Mostar, and three urban zones (the Industrial Zone Bišće Polje, the City Zone Rondo, and the Historic District and the Old Town Zone) in order to offer insights into the new planning systems in the late phase of post-socialist transition.

Download or read book Tourism Cultural Heritage and Urban Regeneration written by Nicholas Wise and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban regeneration is often regarded as the process of renewal or redevelopment of spaces and places. There is a need to look at tourism and urban regeneration with a particular focus on cultural heritage. Cultural heritage consists of tangible heritage (such as historic buildings) and intangible heritage (such as events). The wider need and impact for such work is that places plan for change to keep up with the shifts in demand in the global economy in order for places to maintain a competitive advantage. Moreover, places need to keep up with the pace of global change or they risk stagnation and decline as increased competition is resulting in increased opportunities and choice for consumers. Each chapter in this book explores a specific form of cultural heritage that is driving change in urban spaces. Intended for a wide readership, the book will appeal to students of urban studies, human geography, heritage studies and international tourism management, as well as experts conducting research in and across these areas.

Download or read book Challenging the Representation of Ethnically Divided Cities written by Giulia Carabelli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book Challenging the Representation of Ethnically Divided Cities: Perspectives from Mostar questions the existing overrepresentation of Mostar as an ethnically ‘divided city’. While acknowledging the existence of internal borders, the chapters in this book assert that they are not solid nor fixed and, by exploring how they become material or immaterial, the book offers a deeper understanding of the city’s complex dynamics. Accordingly, the chapters in this book are attentive to how ethnic divides materialise or lose importance because of socio-political contingencies. Events, groups and spaces that promote reconciliation from the bottom-up are examined, not necessarily to assess their success and failures but rather to look at how they create networks, gain trust and form platforms that generate novel understandings of ethnic loyalties and party memberships. Further, and drawing both on the empirical data and theoretical reflections, this volume contributes to broader debates about ‘divided cities’ by suggesting the need to engage with these cities in their complexities rather than reducing them to their ethno-national divisions. The book engages with socio-political and economic complexities in order to shed light on how ethnic conflicts and resulting spatial partitioning are often just the surface of much more complex dynamics that are far less easy to disentangle and represent. The chapters in this book were originally published in Space and Polity.
Download or read book Mostarghia written by Maya Ombasic and published by Biblioasis. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN OPENCANADA SUMMER READ 2019 In the south of Bosnia and Herzegovina lies Mostar, a medieval town on the banks of the emerald Neretva, which flows from the “valley of sugared trees” through sunny hills to reach the Adriatic Sea. This idyllic locale is where Maya Ombasic’s life begins, but when civil war breaks out in Yugoslavia and the bombs begin to fall. Her family is exiled to Switzerland, and after a failed attempt to return, they leave again for Canada. While Maya adapts to their uprootings, her father never recovers from the trauma, refusing even to learn the language of his new country. Mostarghia, a portmanteau of “Mostar” and “nostalgia”, centers around Ombasic’s often explosive relationship with her father, who was both influence and psychological burden: he inspired her interest, and eventual career, in philosophy, and she was his translator, his support, his obsession. Along with this portrait of a larger-than-life man described by turns as passionate, endearing, maddening, and suffocating, Ombasic deftly constructs a moving personal account of what it means to be a refugee and how a generation learns to thrive despite its parents’ struggles.

Download or read book Bosnian Refugees in Chicago written by Ana Croegaert and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-10-14 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bosnian Refugees in Chicago: Gender, Performance, and Post-War Economies studies refugee migration through the experiences of survivors of the 1990s wars in former Yugoslavia as they rebuild home, family, and social lives in the wake of their displacement. Ana Croegaert explores post-1970s Yugoslav-era socialism, American neoliberal capitalism, and anti-Muslim geopolitics to examine women’s varied perspectives on their postwar lives in the United States. Based on more than a decade of fieldwork, Croegaert takes readers into staged performances, coffee rituals, protests, memorials, homes, and non-governmental organizations to shine a light on the pressures women contend with in their efforts to make a living and to narrate their wartime injuries. Ultimately, Croegaert argues that refugee women insist on understanding their wartime losses as simultaneously social and material, a form of personhood she labels “injured life.” At a time of mass displacement and heated political debates concerning refugees, Croegaert provides an engaging portrait of a lively and diverse group of women whose opinions on citizenship and belonging are needed now more than ever.
