Uni-Folder-B:Layout 1 Conference The annual conference of the Centre for Southeast European Studies “Southeast European Dialogues” will be devoted this year to the centenary of the beginning of World War One. Rather than looking at the war itself and its causes, the conference will explore the way the war is remembered in Southeastern Europe. The narratives of the causes and origins of the war have been subject to reinterpretation and renewed interest over the past year and the conference will map out the debates over how to remember the beginning of World War One, the way in which these narrative fit into existing national historiographies and how larger historical debates fit into the regional context, as well as how these debates have evolved over time and interrelate with the present. Centre for Southeast European Studies The Centre for Southeast European Studies was founded at the Uni- versity of Graz in 2008 as interdisciplinary forum for teaching and re- search, based on the university-wide Southeastern Europe focus. The Centre organizes a Joint Degree MA program and a PhD program in Southeast European Studies, as well as organizing regular events on the region. Its research focuses on contemporary Southeastern Europe, including Europeanization, interethnic relations, social movements, democratization and contemporary history. Its staff include political scientists, historians and lawyers and it collaborates closely with other researchers at the University of Graz and internationally.

  • Introduction: the Wars of Yesterday: the Balkan Wars and The
    The Wars of Yesterday The Balkan Wars and the Emergence of Modern Military Conflict, 1912/13 An Introduction Katrin Boeckh and Sabine Rutar The Balkan Wars of 1912/13 and their outcomes have shaped much of the military and political thinking of the Balkan elites during the last century. At the same time, these wars were intimations of what was to become the bloodiest, most violent century in Europe’s and indeed humankind’s history. Wars often lead to other wars. Yet this process of contagion happened in a particularly gruesome manner during the twentieth century. In Europe, the Balkan Wars marked the beginning of the twentieth century’s history of warfare. In the First Balkan War (October 1912–May 1913), Serbia, Monte- negro, Greece and Bulgaria declared war on the Ottoman Empire; in the Second Balkan War (June–August 1913), Bulgaria fought Serbia, Montenegro and Greece over the Ottoman territories they had each just gained. From July onwards, Serbia, Montenegro and Greece were supported by Romania, who entered the war hoping to seize the southern Dobruja from Bulgaria. These hopes were realized. Albania, declared an independent state in November 1912, was thus a product of the First Balkan War. The borders of other territories were changed and obtained features that partially remain valid up to the present: the historical region of Macedonia, a main theatre of the wars, was divided among Greece (Aegean Macedonia), Bulgaria (Pirin Macedonia) and Serbia (Vardar Macedonia, corresponding largely to today’s Republic of Macedonia, established in 1991). The Ottoman Empire’s loss of most of its European territories in the conflict was one more warning sign of its inner weakness; it ceased to exist in the aftermath of the First World War, and was succeeded by the Republic of Turkey in 1923.

  • Marian Apparitions in Međugorje in the Dissolution of Yugoslavia
    1. KorreKtur Marian Apparitions in Međ ugorje in the Dissolution of Yugoslavia Bojan Aleksov In the dusk of 24 June 1981, the day when the Catholic Church celebrates Saint John the Baptist, a group of four girls and two boys ranging in age from twelve to sev- enteen years, announced that they had seen and talked with the Virgin Mary on the Crnica Hill near Međugorje in Herzegovina, Yugoslavia. Soon after, Međugorje be- came one of the world’s major sites of Marian pilgrimages, second only to Lourdes and Fátima. Yet in the chronology that marked the 1980s as a decade of crisis with the breakup of Yugoslavia, the events in Međugorje have remained largely overshadowed by symbolically more recognizable and politically more palpable historical events like Tito’s death in 1980 or the mass protests of the Kosovo Albanians earlier in 1981. In scholarly literature the “apparition” of Gospa (as the Virgin Mary is locally called) was most often interpreted as being provoked by an internal crisis within the Catholic Church.1 This paper however follows the approach of anthropologist E. A. Hammel, who distinguishes at least three levels of inquiry in the Međugorje events – one that focuses on the apparition itself, one that looks at people’s sightings, and one that ex- plores the differing perceptions of these events.2 Focusing on the last level, this paper hopes to contribute to the study of Međugorje’s conflict potential within the context of the Yugoslav crisis in the 1980s by analyzing the various perceptions of the alleged 1 The common belief is that the alleged apparitions have been used by the local Franciscans to chal- lenge the authority of the diocese of Mostar-Duvno to which Međugorje belongs.

  • Ugrešić, Hemon, and the Paradoxes of Literary Cosmopolitanism: Or How to “World” (Post-) Yugoslav Literature in the Age of Globalization
    821.163.42.09 Угрешић Д. (082) 821.163.4.09 Хемон А. (082) 316.722(082) Stijn VERVAET* Utrecht University UGREŠIĆ, HEMON, AND THE PARADOXES OF LITERARY COSMOPOLITANISM: OR HOW TO “WORLD” (POST-) YUGOSLAV LITERATURE IN THE AGE OF GLOBALIZATION Compared to Yugoslav culture, post-Yugoslav literature is perceived as utterly provincial by many critics. Using the example of work by Dubravka Ugrešić and Aleksandar Hemon, this paper explores how certain works of post-Yugoslav literature can nevertheless be read as “cosmopolitan literature.” I argue that both authors contribute to the “worlding” of (post-)Yugoslav literature(s) in a double sense. Dealing with issues of displacement and trauma, their work not only puts life stories from the former Yugoslavia on the map of the world but also deconstructs Western stereotypes about the region. Trough a web of intertextual references, their work includes the literary and cultural legacy of the former Yugoslavia in the imaginary space of world literature, thus reclaiming the common Yugoslav cultural space. Keywords: post-Yugoslav literature, transnational literature, Dubravka Ugrešić, Aleksandar Hemon, cosmopolitanism, globalization, intertextuality, cultural memory Introduction In a paper written in 2008 for a symposium on (post-)Yugoslav literature and culture, Zoran Milutinović reminds us that one of the consequences of the violent dissolution of Yugoslavia was the loss of “a supranational, common cultural layer in which all Yugoslavs took part” (2013: 75). According to Miluti- nović, “the common

Positioned at the interface between historical sociology, anthropology, and social movement studies, Southeast European Integration Perspectives | 8 We Were Gasping for Air: [Post-]Yugoslav Anti-War Activism and Its Legacy goes beyond the widely exploi- ted paradigms of nationalism and civil society to track the (post-)Yugoslav anti-war protest cycle which unfolded throughout the 1990s. Drawing upon extensive fieldwork in the region, the author argues that (post-)Yugoslav anti-war activism cannot be recovered without appreciating both the inter- and intra- republican cooperations and contestations in socialist Yugoslavia. (Post-)Yugoslav anti-war undertakings appropriated and developed the already existing social networks and were instrumental for the esta- blishment of present-day organisations devoted to human rights protection, transitional justice, and peace education across the ex-Yugoslav space.

More specifically, a number of studies have clearly demonstrated not only the manipulation of religion in the hands of nationalists but also the tacit support that churches and religious communities lent to warring factions in the former Yugoslavia.1 Others characterised the involvement of organised religion in the former Yugoslavia as a challenge to democratic pluralism and a serious threat to interethnic peace and coexistence. Looking closer at most of these accounts, no author singled out the essential features of religion, such as claims of truth or righteousness from God, but rather the specific political uses that religious, and often nonreligious, actors made of these claims.

Our eight previous programs have challenged many misconceptions about the Balkans as a conflict zone, offering an alternative account of a cultural borderland where religious and cultural interaction and coexistence have been the norm through much of the early modern period and in post WW II Yugoslavia. The general publics and the governments of Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia would like to share the political stability and prosperity of the European Union.
