Remembering Suffering and Resistance investigates the role of the Serbian Orthodox Church in shaping memory politics in Serbia following the fall of Slobodan Milošević. It argues that in periods of societal instability, religious institutions mobilise their memory potential to reaffirm their public relevance. The study analyses the Church’s mnemonic strategies—both liturgical and non-liturgical—within post-socialist, post-conflict, and post-secular contexts. By engaging in diverse commemorative practices, Hofmeister argues, the Church effectively reasserted its authority and legitimacy in Serbia’s public sphere after 2000.
