Abstract

Quality of life is a multi-dimensional and complex construct, too broad to be described in simple terms, and, as a result, it is impossible to develop a single, universallyaccepted definition thereof. Reaching a consensus for a definition of quality of life is complicated by the fact that this concept is dealt with by a host of disciplines. Geography, economics, medicine, sociology, psychology, anthropology, philosophy, and marketing all find areas of interest in investigating certain aspects of quality of life. It is difficult to clarify the specific geographic contribution from the veritable sea of approaches to investigating quality of life, i.e. it is not easy to single out the aspects of investigation of quality of life for which the geographic approach could yield the best results. The goal of this paper is to clarify the qualities of the geographic approach in investigation of quality of life through discussion about the appearance and development of interest for this issue in the framework of geography, as well as by demonstrating theoretical models and classifications of research.

Abstract

U članku se analiziraju spomenici posvećeni radu i radništvu nastali u razdoblju socijalizma na području bivše Jugoslavije, koji su, s obzirom na pretpostavljen komemorativan karakter spomenika, u dosadašnjim pregledima i analizama često izostavljani. Nakon pregleda kiparskog tretmana teme radništva u javnoj plastici u razdoblju prije Drugog svjetskog rata u europskom i jugoslavenskom kontekstu, analiziraju se funkcije tog spomeničkog žanra u konstrukciji službenog narativa društvenog sjećanja u socijalističkoj Jugoslaviji. Pritom su izdvojene tri tematsko-problemske cjeline predstavljene analizom odabranih spomeničkih primjera koji ukazuju na specifičnosti idejnog ili formalnog pristupa temi rada i radništva u socijalističkoj Jugoslaviji., In this paper I analyze monuments dedicated to labor and the labor movement that were built during the socialist period in the former Yugoslavia. Due to their supposed commemorative character, these monuments have often been left out of scholarly surveys and analyses. Aft er presenting an overview of the pre-World War II era labor-themed sculpture in the European and Yugoslav contexts, I will analyze the role of this genre of memorialization in the construction of the official narrative of social memory in socialist Yugoslavia. The three thematic units defined in this paper shall be presented through an analysis of selected case studies that point to the specificity of the conceptual and formal approach to the topic of work and labor in socialist Yugoslavia.
