Creativity After Genocide: Reflections on Marš Mira, March of Peace, to Srebrenica Creativity after Genocide: Reflections on Marš Mira, March of Peace, to Srebrenica Keith Doubt Department of Sociology Wittenberg University October 2019 Paper presentations at 2019 Annual Conference of the Association of Lutheran College Faculty Creativity after Genocide: Reflections on Marš Mira, March of Peace, to Srebrenica The geographical terrain of Marš Mira, March of Peace, from Nezuk, Bosnia-Herzegovina in Republika Srpska to the Srebrenica-Poto čari Memorial and Cemetery for the Victims of the 1995 Genocide, is breathtaking. The terrain has mountains that are smooth and round like many in Europe. In other places the terrain is jagged and steep. In this beautiful terrain genocide occurred in July 1995, as judged by the International Court of Justice at the Hague in Netherlands May 2006. Marš Mira is a commemorative march, like others elsewhere throughout the world, that retraces the long, treacherous route that survivors of the Srebrenica genocide followed to escape the Serbian army. It is the route on which more than eight thousand unarmed civilians cut off from the lead column during a Serbian ambush were rounded up, sadistically taunted, systematically slaughtered and then buried in mass graves. The civilians were fleeing for their lives after the fall the UN safe haven Srebrenica, which the United Nations had promised to protect after requiring the Bosnian army defending the city to surrender its heavy arms in exchange of for the promise of protection. The first commemorative march was held in 2005. The commemorative march is serious. It is hard to say what something is when we say it is serious. What is that we are describing when we describe something as serious? It has something to do with meaning what we say and doing what we mean. Marš Mira is serious in this way. Five thousand marchers walked together at least twenty-three kilometers each day finishing the third day in Poto čari. The temperature during the march was 38 C; the weather humid. The paths wound up steep mountains endlessly, twisting and turning back down the mountain side. A man from Switzerland, Ivar Pettersen, seventy-two years old, has participated in and supported the march through the years. I met a hiker from Sarajevo who was seventy-five years old. As he passed and we had at least ten more kilometers to finish on the last day, walk, he made a joke with me, saying only one hundred meters to go. A slim middle-aged man on crutches did the entire walk. A woman, who was lame, did the entire walk with a friend. Young Muslim women wearing the hijab and fully dressed did the walk each long hot day. The last day a teenage girl cried ceaselessly during the last part of the walk as we approached Poto čari. The solidarity the marchers showed was deeply serious. Walking in the march was like being in a river. The flow of the march pulled one along faster and also more securely than one was truly able to march. Marchers identified themselves with shirts and flags. There was a group from Biha ć, Zenica, Tuzla, Travnik, and many other places around Bosnia. Police units from different cities walked together as a unit. There were international participants, students from Australia, Germany, Turkey, Canada, United States, and United Kingdom. Many marchers were from Turkey carrying the Turkish flag on their backpacks or flying it on a stick. International participants sought to show solidarity with the marchers, which is not easy for outsiders given the profound seriousness of the commemoration. Solidarity is simply shown by being with the other, not for the other. The seriousness of march provokes the Serbs connected with and responsible for the genocide. It provokes them to be unserious as a way to cope. On the day of the commemorative events in Poto čari, nationalist Serbs organized a rally in Banja Luka in support of Ratko Mladi ć. Mladi ć is the Serbian general who is on trial in The Hague charged with genocide and other crimes in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He was the military general who led and oversaw the genocide. To add insult to injury, there was a book promotion planned for a memoir by the close confidant of Mladi ć which denies that the genocide in Srebrenica happened. The author is Ljiljana Bulatovi ć. There were plans in Srebrenica to put up a statue in honor of Vitaly Churkin, the Russian ambassador who rationalized Russia’s veto of the United Nations Security Council Resolution two years ago that would have condemned the Srebrenica massacre as a genocide. Bosniaks believe that these events organized by Serbs responsible for the genocide are intended to insult the victims of their genocide and their community further and deepen the injury of the genocide committed. The public discourse of genocide deniers, however, is like the chatter described by Jean-Paul Sartre: “The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.” The public discourse of genocide deniers is seriously unserious. The serious seriousness of Marš Mira triggers their unseriousness. That is, the seriousness of Marš Mira pains the nationalist Serbs responsible for the well-documented and now legally judged genocide more deeply than the unseriousness of the nationalist Serbs’s reactions to the commemoration hurts the victims of the Srebrenica genocide. Marš Mira has taken place for many years now. What once was a narrow goat path has been widened and in many places paved, resembling a wide city sidewalk. The path through Republika Srpska in Bosnia-Herzegovina passes by sublime cemeteries from the Ottoman period and also far older cemeteries when the Kingdom of Bosnia flourished in the Middle Ages. In these cemeteries from the Middle Ages, there are large limestone tombstones called ste ćci . The tombs, many eloquently engraved, are found scattered throughout the entire country of Bosnia- Herzegovina. The path Marš Mira also passes mass grave sites identified with descriptive plaques in which the remains of victims of the Srebrenica genocide were buried, then excavated, and then reburied in order to prevent identification of their remains. The different body parts of victims have been found in two or three different mass graves. The term, “mass graves,” is, of course, a misnomer because mass graves are not graves. Religious ceremonies and social rituals were not performed, which is why the commemoration ceremony at the Srebrenica-Poto čari Memorial is so crucial for survivors of the genocide and the country as a whole. At some point, the path that Marš Mira follows may be entirely paved. One imagines that the path, once a narrow goat path, may be used for other walks, bike tours, running events, or even cross-country skiing in the winter. The path cuts through the breathtaking and beautiful terrain of Bosnia-Herzegovina like a deep scar. Each year Marš Mira helps heal this scar, without denying its existence. To march through the terrain is like passing over the face of God. In July 1995, God groaned during the genocide. Some would say God was not at all present. During Marš Mira, God smiles again. .

    Empire, Nation, and the Islamic World: Bosnian Muslim Reformists between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1901-1914 Harun Buljina Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Harun Buljina All rights reserved ABSTRACT Empire, Nation, and the Islamic World: Bosnian Muslim Reformists between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1901-1914 Harun Buljina This dissertation is a study of the early 20th-century Pan-Islamist reform movement in Bosnia-Herzegovina, tracing its origins and trans-imperial development with a focus on the years 1901-1914. Its central figure is the theologian and print entrepreneur Mehmed Džemaludin Čaušević (1870-1938), who returned to his Austro-Hungarian-occupied home province from extended studies in the Ottoman lands at the start of this period with an ambitious agenda of communal reform. Čaušević’s project centered on tying his native land and its Muslim inhabitants to the wider “Islamic World”—a novel geo-cultural construct he portrayed as a viable model for communal modernization. Over the subsequent decade, he and his followers founded a printing press, standardized the writing of Bosnian in a modified Arabic script, organized the country’s Ulema, and linked these initiatives together in a string of successful Arabic-script, Ulema-led, and theologically modernist print publications. By 1914, Čaušević’s supporters even brought him to a position of institutional power as Bosnia-Herzegovina’s Reis-ul-Ulema (A: raʾīs al-ʿulamāʾ), the country’s highest Islamic religious authority and a figure of regional influence between two empires.

The pattern of government intervention is reconstructed not only in the face of famine, but also in relation to the system of food administration taken as a whole. The aim of this article is to highlight the political genius and commercial enterprise with which Dubrovnik managed to secure its demands for cereals through a privileged relationship with the Ottoman Empire, here defined as Ragusa’s ‘corn diplomacy’. Key words: famine, corn, shortage, Rupe granary, privileges, Levant, Albania, Republic of Dubrovnik, Ottoman Empire, sixteenth century The Mediterranean society, according to Braudel, “never lived under the sign of affluence”.2 Famine, in other words, represented “normality” in a general situa- tion in which “the Western man had to adapt himself to a constant dearth of food”,3 1 I wish to thank Nenad Vekarić, Director of the Institute for Historical Sciences of Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences in Dubrovnik for his hospitality and Vesna Miović, who first suggested I should write this article and whose esteem and constant help throughout all these years have been—and still are—of fundamental importance for my research.

  • Mladen Ančić: “Can Bosnia Do Without Herzegovina?”
    Croatian Studies Review 11 (2015) Mladen Ančić: “Can Bosnia do Without Herzegovina?” Mladen Ančić Department of History University of Zadar [email protected] Abstract The author discusses frequent practices of rendering the name of Bosnia and Herzegovina as ‘Bosnia’ as well as the uses of the term ‘Srpska’ in the public discourse. Leaving aside the cases of benign mental inertia, practices with certain political background are further analyzed. They are seen in the context of nationalist discourse and development of a ‘central narratives of national history’ for three Bosnian nations: Bosniak- muslims, Croats and Serbs. The paper also sheds light on the shifting strategies of the nationalist elites and the way those strategies are materialized in the production of public discourse on the past. Key words: Bosnia-Herzegovina; history; nationalism; public discourse 13 Croatian Studies Review 11 (2015) Introduction Today’s name for the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina emerged after the Berlin Congress awarded the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy with a mandate to occupy a part of the Ottoman Empire, in which a peasant’s rebellion had been raging for some years.1 The Ottoman authorities simply could not find a way to cope with the insurgents – they could not accept any of their demands, but they were also not able to militarily defeat them and pacify the region. Thus, it was within the framework of the realization of the occupational mandate that the name for the country was forged and used in the official version in the German language – Bosnien und Herzegowina. Seen from one of the possible historical perspectives, this fact could have a deeper symbolic meaning.

  • Appendix for “The Feudal Revolution and Europe's Rise: Political
    Appendix for “The Feudal Revolution and Europe’s Rise: Political Divergence of the Christian West and the Muslim World before 1500 CE” August 1, 2012 1 Feudalism and Political Stability To formalize the intuition presented in Section 3.3 using a simple framework, suppose that a perfectly myopic, risk-neutral sovereign imperfectly controls a polity that creates output of size one each period. Denote by γ the amount of land controlled by the military regardless of the actions of the sovereign (this can be interpreted as the percentage of the entire polity controlled by the military). Suppose that there are N perfectly myopic, risk-neutral members of the military (where N is sufficiently large) and that γ is evenly distributed between the members of this class. We consider the parameter value γ exogenously given. A value of γ = 0 corresponds to a perfectly absolutist sovereign (who uses mamluks or mercenaries to staff his military) whereas higher values of γ denote more feudal arrangements. Note that our assumption of perfectly myopic agents allows us to abstract from the potentially important issue of how the sovereign compensates the military (i.e., iqta’ rents versus land grants).1 In addition, we abstract from other important issues in order to focus on the sovereign’s desire to prevent a successful revolt. We do so in order to highlight one mechanism that we believe contributes to the observed increase in ruler duration. The order of play in the game is as follows: after observing γ the sovereign moves first and decides whether to keep the entire amount of output he controls to himself or whether to divide it equally between himself and the military.
