These lapidars, which can still be found, albeit in ever decreasing numbers, all over the country ? in cities and villages, alongside roads, in forests and on mountain passes ? are witness to an enormous expenditure of labor and resources to turn the landscape into a site of what was called ?monumental propaganda.? The Albanian Lapidar Survey aimed to capture these monuments as fact. The results of this project are collected into a three-volume, dual-language (English and Albanian) catalogue, under the title Lapidari. The first volume comprises a series of critical reflections on Albanian monumentality of the period 1945?1990 from a variety of perspectives, as well as historical documents and a full indexation of all inscriptions found on the documented monuments. Volume 2 and Volume 3 feature the photographic documentation of all 649 recorded monumental sites by photographer Marco Mazzi. 606 $aMemorials, monuments$2bicssc 607 $aAlbania$xPublic art 607 $aAlbania$xLithic history 607 $aAlbania$xCultural history 610 $acommunism 610 $aAlbania 610 $apublic art 610 $amonumentality 610 $asocialism 610 $apolitical history 610 $aphotography 615 7$aMemorials, monuments 700 $aMazzi$b Marco$4edt$01309557 702 $aGerven Oei$b Vincent W.
