Abstract

Between 1914 and the present day the political makeup of the Balkans has relentlessly changed, following unpredictable shifts of international and internal borders. Between and across these borders various political communities were formed, co-existed and (dis)integrated. By analysing one hundred years of modern citizenship in Yugoslavia and post-Yugoslav states, Igor Štiks shows that the concept and practice of citizenship is necessary to understand how political communities are made, un-made and re-made. He argues that modern citizenship is a tool that can be used for different and opposing goals, from integration and re-unification to fragmentation and ethnic engineering. The study of citizenship in the ‘laboratory’ of the Balkands offers not only an original angle to narrate an alternative political history, but also an insight into the fine mechanics and repeating glitches of modern politics, applicable to multinational states in the European Union and beyond.

Abstract

« Purification ethnique » : en pleine guerre yougoslave (1992), apparaît cette dénomination jusque-là inédite, aux côtés d’expressions comme « épuration ethnique » ou « nettoyer ethniquement ». Avec ce néologisme, les acteurs de l’espace public disposent d’une nouvelle catégorie pour décrire le monde et donner aux événements (yougoslaves ou non) un certain cadre. À quels discours politiques et médiatiques le conflit yougoslave a-t-il donné lieu ? De quelle manière ces discours ont-ils porté ? Pour répondre à ces questions, Alice Krieg-Planque étudie le récit de certains événements (découverte des camps, des viols…), puis analyse des slogans et des dénominations dont le rôle s’est avéré central dans la lecture du conflit : « Plus jamais ça ! », « Musulmans », « communauté internationale » et bien sûr la formule « purification ethnique », considérée comme un descripteur majeur de la guerre. L’auteur aborde aussi la place de certains textes dans la construction du discours (par exemple, le Mémorandum de 1986 attribué à l’Académie des sciences et des arts de Belgrade). L’analyse d’Alice Krieg-Planque apporte ici un éclairage original sur le conflit yougoslave, en montrant notamment, grâce à des méthodes applicables à d’autres corpus, comment les discours participent à l’histoire du conflit lui-même. Bien au-delà des sciences du langage, ce livre intéresse donc également la science politique, l’histoire, la sociologie et la philosophie politique.

Abstract

Ever-increasingly, countries, states and regions are voicing a desire to be autonomous through a process of balkanization. This book explores the historical emergence, interdisciplinary application and current sociospatial reasons why more places are seeking self-governance around the world. The spatialization of balkanization is particularly addressed in terms of destruction and renewal through a detailed sociopolitical interrogation of architecture and the urban, including their changing symbolic and functional forms. 0The book offers a reworking of the concept of balkanization through a reflective and critical analysis. The particular attention on the city of Belgrade, including the 1990s dissolution of Yugoslavia through specific case study focus of Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia, provides insightful connections between balkanization, violent remaking and global politics. Against the detailed historical overview and prevailingly negative understanding of balkanization, a more positive instatement of balkanization for purposes of inclusivity and coexistence is also presented.
