This survey, Let them kill each other, has its aim and purpose to analyze how two of Swedens biggest tabloids, Aftonbladet and Expressen, reported about the Dayton agreement (also known as Dayton Accords, Paris Protocol and Dayton-Paris Agreement). To do so we analyzed both editorials and regular articles from 1995-10-09 to 1995-12-16. We discovered that the main opinion, both regarding editorials and articles, had a negative posture about the possibility for the partners to come to an agreement, and also later on, for the agreement to persist. We also found that the majority of the articles and editorials indicated a plain portrayal of whoever was the “winning” and “losing” side of the agreement.

Sarajevo’s longstanding image has been one of a functioning multiethnic spatiality where diverse identities harmoniously co-exist and share common public spaces in their everyday life. The ethnically mixed urban population of prewar Sarajevo lived multiethnic spatiality as ‘zajednicki zivot’ (common life). This notion referred to neighborliness, cooperation and trust within and across groups. The structural factors which fostered this condition of neighborly spatiality are assessed through a study of a residential building in central Sarajevo. The thesis argues that the apartment building under study was a concrete manifestation of the ideology and political economy of Tito’s Yugoslavia. It was a space made possible by an authoritarian political system and an economic order subordinated to the interest of the Yugoslav League of Communists. However, the war shattered this world and dispersed the multiethnic spatiality that characterized it. The ensuing disruption of the social, institutional and economic fabric marked the state’s transition from a socialist to a capitalist society. It led to heightened ethnic awareness as well as isolation and alienation that altered the prewar multiethnic spatiality of the city in ways that are still unfolding. / Master of Public and International Affairs

This ethnographic work is about the aesthetic, habitual, and sentimental registers of some Bosnian Muslims’ (Bosniaks) daily lives in post-war Sarajevo. It addresses the ages-old themes of Bosnians’ multiple belongings and the question of political subjectivity through lived experience with a particular focus on the contemporary urgency to generate Bosniak national and religious subjectivity. It attends to the affective surplus of mundane scenes that convey the disconcerting drama of conversion to Islam, the nervous accumulation of new Islamic sensibilities, the vibrant ethos of Yugoslavism, the politically vulnerable but habitually engrained identity of Bosniannes, shared memories of the recent war, and the sustenance of the material and sentimental textures of domestic and communal life. Attending to the eventful character of the daily life enables the work to detail and test the existing frames of understanding Bosniaks (such as Nationalization and Islamization) and to further explore the potentialities of lived experience that escape existing regimes of representation. / text

Diese Doktorarbeit befasst sich mit Fragen der Sprache und Identität von drei Generationen sephardischer Juden in Sarajevo. Aufgrund der Komplexität sephardischen Geschichte in Sarajevo untersuche ich Bosnien-Herzegowina/Jugoslawien, Israel und Spanien als mögliche Identitätsoptionen für die Sephardim in Sarajevo nach der Shoah. In einem weiteren Kontext ist die Arbeit auch ein Beitrag zu Minderheiten in Europa und zum facettenreichen Zusammenspiel von Sprache und ethnischer und religiöser Identifikation. Typisch für die jüdische Gemeinschaft im heutigen Sarajevo ist, dass nur ein Gesprächspartner seine jüdische Identität auf der traditionellen halachischen Definition aufbaut, einer Definition, die von der matrilinealen Abstammung abhängt. Ebenso ist die Feier der jüdischen Feiertage meinen Informanten für die Aufrechterhaltung der Identität wichtiger als das Sprechen einer jüdischen Sprache. Gleichzeitig vertreten die Individuen auch alternative Formen des Bosnischseins, die mehrere Ethnien und religiöse Zuschreibungen umfassen. Zu den einzigartigen Merkmalen der Sephardim in Sarajevo zählen der Status der Sephardim und der anderen Minderheiten in Bosnien und Herzegowina, die sie (1) durch die diskriminierende bosnische Verfassung zugeteilt bekommen haben; (2) das Fehlen eines Gesetzes in Bosnien über die Rückgabe von Eigentum; (3) die besondere Situation, in der drei ethnische Hauptgruppen und nicht nur eine einzige ethnisch homogene ‚Mehrheit‘ das Land beherrschen; (4) das Fehlen einer gut entwickelten jüdischen kulturellen Infrastruktur. Trotz alledem findet eine Annäherung der Mitglieder der Jüdischen Gemeinde von Sarajevo an ihre Religion und Tradition statt. Dieses Phänomen ist zum Teil dem jungen religiösen Aktivisten und chazan (Kantor) der Gemeinde, Igor Kožemjakin, zuzuschreiben, der jüngere Mitglieder zu den Gottesdiensten angezogen hat. / This study analyzes issues of language and Jewish identification pertaining to the Sephardim in Sarajevo. Complexity of the Sarajevo Sephardi history means that I explore Bosnia-Herzegovina/Yugoslavia, Israel and Spain as possible identity-creating factors for the Sephardim in Sarajevo today. My findings show that the elderly Sephardic generation insist on calling their language Serbo-Croatian, whereas the younger generations do not really know what language they speak – and laugh about the linguistic situation in Sarajevo, or rely on made-up categories such as ‘Sarajevan.’ None of the interviewees emphasize the maintenance of Judeo-Spanish as a crucial condition for the continuation of Sephardic culture in Sarajevo. Similarly, the celebration of Jewish holidays is more important for the maintenance of identity across the generations than speaking a Jewish language. At the same time, the individuals also assert alternative forms of being Bosnian, ones that encompass multiple ethnicities and religious ascriptions. All the youngest interviewees however fear that the Sarajevo Sephardic identity will disappear in a near future. Unique characteristics of Sarajevo Sephardim include the status of the Sephardim and minorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina given (1) the discriminatory Bosnian Constitution; (2) the absence of a law in Bosnia on the return of property; (3) the special situation wherein three major ethnic groups, and not just a single, ethnically homogeneous ‘majority,’ dominate the country; (4) the lack of a well-developed Jewish cultural infrastructure. Despite all of this, a rapprochement between the Sarajevo Jewish Community members and their religion and tradition is taking place. This phenomenon is partly attributable to the Community’s young religious activist and chazan, Igor Kožemjakin, who has attracted younger members to the religious services.

Paralelamente, penso a guerra enquanto um contexto de elaboração de discursos e identidades, que se revelaria de modo especial por meio destes sujeitos que procuro analisar. Os fixers são os intérpretes, os guias que tornaram possível o fazer jornalístico durante a guerra - em um lugar estrangeiro e de língua estrangeira para os grandes veículos internacionais de imprensa, predominantemente norte-americanos e europeus, que realizaram a cobertura do conflito e a transmitiram para todo o globo. Penso os fixers, portanto, como reveladores dos processos elencados acima e, também, como emblemáticos para se pensar o próprio fazer antropológico e o lugar do intermediário, sempre presente no campo, mas, na maioria das vezes, ausente nas etnografias. Esse trabalho é sobre eles, e como contam e entendem a sua história e a construção do estado na Bósnia / Abstract: Considering the field research in Sarajevo about fixers and those people ho worked for foreign journalists during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I analyze their role in the making of the history about the conflict. Besides that, I consider the war as a context of elaboration of discourses and identities that can be noticed through the subjects I analyze. Fixers are the translators, the guides who made the work of journalists during the war possible - in a foreign country, a strange language - for the great Media Corporations, mainly American and European, who covered the conflict and broadcasted it worldwide. I think that the research about fixers shed light on the processes quoted before, and eventually, on the anthropological work itself, concerning the role of the "intermediary", always present on the field, but mostly absent in the ethnographies. Hence, this thesis is about those people and about how they are telling history and thinking the building of the State / Doutorado / Antropologia Social / Doutor em Antropologia Social

I denna uppsats undersöks den komplexa processen av återuppbyggnad i Sarajevo efterkriget i det forna Jugoslavien. Genom en kvalitativ fallstudie analyserar uppsatsen kritiskt deprioriteringar som gjorts i återuppbyggnaden, men även hur dess resultat påverkatvardagslivet i staden. Genom att använda intervjuer som primär metod, synliggörs röstersom inte vanligtvis blir hörda i den befintliga diskursen. Under kriget förstördes bådesymboliska kulturarv och vardagliga platser såsom marknader, bostäder och mötesplatser.Med stadens heterogenitet som måltavla, orsakade förstörelse av den byggda miljön iSarajevo stor materiell och emotionell förlust för invånarna. Återuppbyggnaden som följdedärefter präglades av betydande internationella investeringar, vilket har lett till en ekonomiskövergång till marknadsekonomi. Kritiker menar att internationella och nationella aktörer harprioriterat kortsiktiga ekonomiska vinster framför långsiktig social hållbarhet. Svaglagstiftning och brist på ramverk har medfört en urban fragmentering, där privata ochvinstdrivande aktörer dominerar återuppbyggnaden. Detta har i sin tur begränsatmedborgarinflytandet i återuppbyggnadsprocessen och social hållbarhet har hamnat iskymundan vilket gjort att många allmänna platser är exkluderande. Denna uppsats belyservikten av en holistisk och inkluderande planeringsprocess som tar hänsyn till både fysiska ochsociala aspekter. Vidare forskning kan göra djupare analyser av medborgarinflytandet iåteruppbyggnadsprocessen och jämföra med fallstudier i andra städer. Detta kan i sin turleda till utvecklingen av strategier för återuppbyggnad i samtida och framtida krigsdrabbadestäder. / This thesis investigates the complex process of reconstruction in Sarajevo following the warin the former Yugoslavia. Through a qualitative case study, the thesis critically analyzes thepriorities set during the reconstruction process and how its outcomes have affected everydaylife in the city. Interviews have helped amplify voices that are not usually heard in theexisting discourse. During the war, both symbolic cultural heritage and everyday places suchas markets, homes, and meeting spots were destroyed. Targeting the city's heterogeneity,the destruction of Sarajevo's built environment caused significant material and emotionalloss for its residents. The subsequent reconstruction was marked by substantial internationalinvestments, leading to an economic transition towards a market economy. Critics argue thatinternational and national actors have prioritized short-term economic gains over long-termsocial sustainability. Weak legislation and a lack of frameworks have resulted in urbanfragmentation, where private and profit-driven actors dominate the reconstruction. This, inturn, has limited citizen influence in the reconstruction process, pushing social sustainabilityto the background and making many public spaces exclusive to certain groups. This thesishighlights the importance of a holistic and inclusive planning process that considers bothphysical and social aspects. Further research could provide deeper analyses of citizeninfluence in the reconstruction process and compare with case studies in other cities. Thiscould, in turn, lead to the development of strategies for reconstruction in contemporary andfuture war-affected cities.
