“…Whereas this article makes references to collective categories-Bosniacs, Bosnian Serbs, and so on-not all people living in Bosnia and Herzegovina identify with these groups, nor do they all blame the war on whole collectivities of "Others" (Markowitz 2007;Selimovic;, this volume). For example, when three long-term Bosnian male friends, whose names indicate that they belong to three different nationalities, met to drink coffee after the war were they then engaging in an act of reconciliation?…”

This article critically addresses the idea that ethnic remixing alone fosters reconciliation and tolerance after sectarian conflict, a vision that has been forcefully cultivated by international interventionists in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in the town of Banja Luka, it presents a multi-faceted analysis of the effects of ethnic minority return on the (re)building of social relations across communal boundaries. Although returnees were primarily elderly Bosniacs who settled in parts of the town traditionally populated by their own ethnic group, some level of inter-ethnic co-existence and co-operation had developed between the returnees and displaced Serbs who had moved into these neighborhoods. In the absence of national reconciliation, peaceful co-existence in local everyday life was brought about by silencing sensitive political and moral questions related to the war, indicating a preparedness among parts of the population to once again share a social space with the Other.

“…In order to understand why a campaign emerged to instruct Bosniaks to identify in a structured manner, it is necessary to look to broader debates about Bosniak ethnicity and the implications of Bosniaks' status as the largest of the three constituent peoples. The group now commonly referred to as Bosniaks were not given their own category in the Yugoslav census until 1971, when Muslim nationality was added alongside Serb, Croat and Yugoslav categories as a result of decisions on official recognition taken in the 1960s (Markowitz : 52; see also Bieber : 880–82). This category survived through to the final Yugoslav census in 1991, but in 1993, the Bošnjački sabor [Bosniak Assembly] officially adopted the name ‘Bosniak’ (Bougarel : 143; Bringa : 33–36).…”

Bosnia and Herzegovina's first post‐war population census, held in 2013, was accompanied by campaigns associated with each of the country's three main ethnic groups, which sought to maximise their share of the recorded population. These campaigns were challenged by a rival ‘civic’ campaign that instead stressed the right to freedom of self‐identification, however. This article compares the aims, methods and framings used by this civic campaign with those of the most prominent of the ‘ethnic’ campaigns – that of Bosniak ethnic entrepreneurs. It demonstrates that the two campaigns were each motivated by a combination of symbolic motives, centred on recognition and highlighting discrimination, and instrumental motives relating to the country's power‐sharing institutions. The limited success of the civic campaign in countering the messages of its rival ethnic campaigns demonstrates the difficulties that civic movements face in mobilising citizens in consociational democracies such as BiH.

“…Ena najpogostejših razprav v prehodnem obdobju Sarajeva se je zato vrtela okrog povojnega razvoja, ki vključuje mnoga pomembna socialna, politična in ekonomska vprašanja (npr. Karahasan in Drakulić, 1994;Morley in Robins, 1995;Bollens, 2001;Perry, 2003;Donia, 2006;Sorabji, 2006;Bougarel idr., 2007;Markowitz, 2007;Pilav, 2012;Gül in Dee, 2015).…”

Okoljska estetika Sarajeva: mesto, ki ga oblikujejo spominiV članku avtorici obravnavata estetsko posebnost zdajšnjega Sarajeva in pokažeta, kako čas ustvarja družbeni odziv na vizualno kakovost prostora. Ob upoštevanju preobrazbe mestne krajine z vidika preoblikovanja identitete povojnega Sarajeva proučujeta senzorični stik ljudi z mestnim okoljem v povezavi s travmatičnimi dogodki in spreminjajočo se realnostjo, ki jo vsiljuje globalizacija. Njuna hipoteza je, da okoljsko estetiko povojnih mest določa travmatični spomin na fizično in socialno uničenje. Raziskava daje vpogled v različne teoretične razprave o spremembah vizualnega jezika in estetske kakovosti mestnega prostora v povojnem Sarajevu ter predstavi pojem urbanega spomina in njegovo vlogo pri oblikovanju estetske izkušnje v povojnih mestih. Končne ugotovitve kaže-jo, da lahko arhitekturni ostanki ali razvaline v mestnem tkivu namesto nestabilnih enot postanejo gonilo kontinuitete. Avtorici na koncu sprejmeta nedokončanost v prostoru kot pozitivno vrednoto in odstira nov pogled na igrivo eksperimentiranje, ki lahko izboljša estetsko izkušnjo toge in monotone mestne podobe.Ključne besede: estetska izkušnja, urbani spomin, vizualni jezik mesta, vrednost razvalin, vrednotena percepcija
