[Geschichte] History Fest Sarajevo: von gemeinsamer Vergangenheit zu geteilter Geschichte

Am 9. Juni 2021 habe ich zusammen mit Kolleginnen aus Berlin und Südosteuropa an der Historikerinnenkonferenz History Fest teilgenommen. Die Veranstaltung fand in der bosnischen Hauptstadt Sarajevo statt: dort wurde sie am Vorabend von Benjamina Karić, der neuen Bürgermeisterin Sarajevos, in der Vijećnica eröffnet. Das History Fest dauert(e) insgesamt vom 8. - 12. Juni 2021 und wurde unter der Federführung von Professor Husnija Kamberović organisiert. Die Veranstaltung fand auf Jezik* statt. Unsere gestrige Veranstaltung kann als eigene Konferenz im Rahmen des History Fests betrachtet werden. Sie trug den Titel "Gesellschaft und Geschichtsschreibung im südöstlichen Europa -- von gemeinsamer Vergangenheit zu geteilter Geschichte".

[Yorum] [Literatur] Selo gori, a baba se češlja

“Svijet gori, a Handke se češlja” (za Aidu, protiv rata) Ovo je bio moj komentar na Miljenka Jergovića, cijenjenog i dalje cijenjenog pisca, malo sam taj komentar možda i odredio i obradio, sigurno u njemu ima grešaka.

[Migration] Razgovor o iseljavanju muslimanskog stanovništva u Tursku na portalu Algoritam

[Bosnia] The čardak defter — Olovo

In this moment, when I decided to write the čardak defter, I am in Olovo. I am sitting on a bank next to the river Stupčanica, whose riverbed is subdued by man-made rocky walls. I see the hotel Akvaterm next to me. The bank is built around a small česma (fountain), pouring warm thermal water...

[Bosnia] In Bosnia II: On traditions and naming

As long as there is tradition, names can tell you a lot there, in Bosnia. But with traditions, it is complicated, not only there, and we will face many contradi(c)tions. Amongst people who come from the muslim tradition in Bosnia, it is an outspoken spiritual advise that names must be beautiful (lijepa imena). But there...

[Bosnia] In Bosnia (I)

In Bosnia, everything else was quite different from the Izmir experience. Bosnia was the starting and ending point of my Balkans tour, between Sarajevo’s Baščaršija, Mostar’s Old Bridge, Sandžak’s pešter heights and Ibar valley, Prizren’s multilingual place name signs, Macedonia’s shrub lands and Alexander the Great statues. Different were the little things: you drink čaj...
