✦ Synopsis
how and if a text like The Mountain Wreath can be affirmed without the danger of its playing a role in future mass violence, and how and if it can be abandoned or separated from a tradition in which it has held a central and, for many, a sacred place. The answer to these questions may determine whether the militant version of the religious and national story of the Serbian Golgotha is truly spent.
