"Controversial Monuments: A creative approach to the inherent function of storytelling the Confederate and Colonial Monuments in the U.S.". BA Thesis, John Cabot University, Rome, Italy. 2021.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14490/287Thesis (B.A. in Art History)--John Cabot University, Spring 2021.This work proposes an approach to a very current discussion regarding publicmonuments. It focuses on the problem of the memorialization of controversial figures in achanging society, through the American case study. I will debate notions of narrative thatsurround these kinds of public memorials analyzing how the formal and contextual side of themonument affects their perception and reception. The goal of this thesis will be to propose,through apparently successful case studies, the innovative recontextualization of these publicobjects and their meanings for didactic and empathic purposes.77 pagesenAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/MonumentsArchitectureThesis
