Emotions in Bosnia and Herzegovina

In celebration of the release of the new book by Danijela Majstorović, Discourse and affect in postsocialist Bosnia and Herzegovina (Palgrave 2021), we bring together a group of anthropologists and cultural theorists to address the ways in which crisis and change are experienced at the everyday level through the lenses of feeling, perception, understanding and (dis)engagement. The discussion should offer a healthy corrective to the customary approach of discussing the region through the lens of power politics.

The panellists bring experience in scholarship and activism united by a commitment to direct engagement with the lived environment.
