Abstract

“I had experienced absolute freedom—I had felt that my body was without boundaries, limitless ; that pain didn’t matter, that nothing mattered at all—and it intoxicated me.” In 2010, more than 750,000 people stood in line at Marina Abramović’s MoMA retrospective for the chance to sit across from her and communicate with her nonverbally in an unprecedented durational performance that lasted more than 700 hours. This celebration of nearly fifty years of groundbreaking performance art demonstrated once again that Marina Abramović is truly a force of nature. The child of Communist war-hero parents under Tito’s regime in postwar Yugoslavia, she was raised with a relentless work ethic. Even as she was beginning to build an international artistic career, Marina lived at home under her mother’s abusive control, strictly obeying a 10 p.m. curfew. But nothing could quell her insatiable curiosity, her desire to connect with people, or her distinctly Balkan sense of humor—all of which informs her art and her life. The beating heart of Walk Through Walls is an operatic love story—a twelve-year collaboration with fellow performance artist Ulay, much of which was spent penniless in a van traveling across Europe—a relationship that began to unravel and came to a dramatic end atop the Great Wall of China. Marina’s story, by turns moving, epic, and dryly funny, informs an incomparable artistic career that involves pushing her body past the limits of fear, pain, exhaustion, and danger in an uncompromising quest for emotional and spiritual transformation. A remarkable work of performance in its own right, Walk Through Walls is a vivid and powerful rendering of the unparalleled life of an extraordinary artist.

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

Europe and the European Union are unavoidable, if ambiguous, political references in the post-Yugoslav space. This volume interrogates the forms and implications of the increasingly potent symbolic nexus that has developed between non-heterosexual sexualities, LGBT activism(s) and Europeanisation(s) in all of the Yugoslav successor states. Contributors to this book show how the long EU accession process disseminates discursive tools employed in LGBT activist struggles for human rights and equality. This creates a linkage between “Europeanness” and “gay emancipation” which elevates certain forms of gay activist engagement and perhaps also non-heterosexuality, more generally, to a measure of democracy, progress and modernity. At the same time, it relegates practices of intolerance to the LGBT community to the status of non-European primitivist Other who is inevitably positioned in the patriarchal past that should be left behind. >.

Abstract

This volume challenges decades of superficial and selective rhetoric about Tito’s Yugoslavia that came from different sides and political interests, foreign as well as domestic. The essays are meant to fill in some of those black holes in some already existing descriptions of Tito’s Yugoslavia that unfortunately saw daylight and lived long and prosperous lives, longer than should have been the case. Contributors cover a range of topics including the abolition of the multi-party system, nonalignment, and the 1968 reinforcing position among others. .

Abstract

As a child, architect Arna Mackic experienced firsthand the Bosnian civil war, and with her family she fled her native country for the Netherlands. In 1999, she was able to visit bosnia and the city of Mostar again for the first time to witness the utter devastation—the war had left seventy percent of the buildings destroyed. This experience inspired Mackic's research to explore the emotional effects of war damage on a city's inhabitants and the possibilities for rebuilding collective and inclusive identities through architecture.Mortal Cities and Forgotten Monuments tells a moving story of architecture and history. The first two parts of the book provide historical background on the war in Bosnia and its relationship to the built environment of the region. The final section demonstrates Mackic's ideas for architectural interventions, applying a new design language that goes beyond political religious, or cultural interpretations—an openness that allows it avoid tensions and claims of truth without ignoring or denying the past. Using this as a foundation, she proposes designs for urban and public space that are simultaneously rooted in ancient traditions while looking toward the future.

Abstract

The disintegration of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s is often described as the starting-point of the EEC/EU involvement in Western Balkan politics, as if no political relations had developed between the EEC and Yugoslavia during the Cold War era. Instead, this book shows that the origin of EEC-Yugoslav relations must be placed in the crucial decade of the 1970s. Contrary to received opinion, this work demonstrates that relations between the EEC and Yugoslavia were grounded on a strong political rationale which was closely linked to the evolution of the Cold War in Europe and the Mediterranean. The main argument is that relations between the two parties were primarily influenced by the need to prevent the expansion of Soviet influence in the Balkans and to foster détente in Europe.
