Thesis Tilburg University, 2015. Cultural study on the history of monuments that have been established many years, often decades, later than the person, or the actual event that memorates it, has lived / taken place. According to Faro this is often the case with persons or events that had been forgotten, neglected, debated about, or denied. Essential for these monuments is the deeply felt urge in a community to create a public space to comm1emorate the event / person permanently. Often they are the result of a long-term proces.
