This article focuses on the evolution of regional inequality in Bulgaria in terms of political representation. A specially created gis data set facilitated the assessment of changes in the composition of different Bulgarian governments during a long period of political transformation. The database incorporates information about the positions occupied, the time spent in government, the political affiliations, and the places of birth of more than 600 individuals who held cabinet positions in more than 1500 ministerial tenures. Combining different layers of information within the gis allowed the authors to map the evolution of the Bulgarian political elite, to identify historical centres of political influence, and to visualize the transition of power from the provinces of the interior to the capital, Sofia.","PeriodicalId":43126,"journal":{"name":"SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48818494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also explores how film directors deal with social issues, including war crimes, and how they appear as activist citizens while their governments struggle to take relevant action. The research aims to bridge the gap between the more theoretical literature that focuses on the role of the media in dealing with the past and more practical analysis providing examples from contemporary post-Yugoslav cinema, and to illuminate the link between film, peace-building and active citizenship. Finally, the article stresses how the idea of post-war reconciliation may be communicated through films and pertains to the notion that a positive film effect exists.","PeriodicalId":43126,"journal":{"name":"SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44312950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, this article will contribute to the ongoing discussions in museum and cultural studies expressing the need for reconsidering the values and roles of museum practices. It is about the comprehensive range of innovative approaches that can foster dialogue and reconciliation processes in the context of today’s Western Balkans societies, which are marked by distrust, prejudices, misunderstandings and numerous divisions and indoctrinations. This will be an attempt to verify two clear examples of museum practices emphasising the specific thesis about museums as the ‘new educational institutions’, their comprehensive and alternative roles in the construction of ‘new knowledge’ nurturing dialogue, intercultural interactions and exchange of opinions, ideas and experiences. The main question is whether this concept is sustainable and broadly possible in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Western Balkans, due to the lack of cultural policy and political consensus that will support this indispensable process.","PeriodicalId":43126,"journal":{"name":"SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42226261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Avtorja trdita, da sodobni Bosanci živijo v polietnični družbi, ki jo določa niz afinalnih in ritualnih sorodstvenih praks, ki presegajo etnične in nacionalne identitete. Predstavljeno delo angleško govorečim bralcem ponuja jasnejše razumevanje bosanske identitete in vloge etničnih skupin v čedalje bolj kompleksni družbi. Današnja bosansko-hercegovska polietnična družba namreč ni multikulturna. Je več kot to! Različne kulture BiH v resnici ne le bivajo skupaj, ena ob drugi, ampak živijo v eni, edinstveni družbi, ki zajema različne sinergijsko soodvisne etnične skupine. Bosansko-hercegovska družba je torej veliko več kot le vsota etničnih, kulturnih in religioznih skupin, ki bivajo v skupni državi. Doubt in Tufekčić v knjigi pišeta o stvareh, ki so večini Slovencev vsaj malo znane. Skupna zgodovina, ki smo jo znotraj ene države delili v 20. stoletju, in bližina bosanskega prostora V obravnavi propagande na tem območju poudari delovanje prostovoljcev, vojske, tajnih služb in tiska. Časopis Giornale di Udine okarakterizira kot prenašalca vladnih direktiv, nacionalističnih idej in asimilacijske politike ter kot glavno propagandno sredstvo. Poudari, da je patriotska propaganda za združitev z Italijo temeljila na nasprotovanju Katoliški cerkvi, odklonilni drži do papeža in močnem antiklerikalizmu. Najglasnejši nasprotniki združitve z Italijo so bili zato podeželski duhovniki, ki so imeli velik vpliv na ljudi, kar je po avtorjevem mnenju še eden v množici dokazov o nepravilnostih pri izvedbi plebiscita. V končnem izidu plebiscita naj bi namreč večina ljudi glasovala za priključitev h Kraljevini Italiji, kar se avtorju, tudi zato, ker so ljudje domnevno sledili mnenjem duhovnikov, zdi malo verjetno. Piše še, da so bili najbolj italijansko zavedni meščani, ki so z združitvijo pričakovali pridobitev privilegijev in zmanjšanje moči plemstva ter duhovščine. Instrumentalizacijo nacionalne zavesti za doseganje različnih ciljev seveda lahko zasledimo v marsikateri nacionalni zgodovini. V četrtem poglavju avtor povzame proces določanja meje med Italijo in Avstrijo. Poudari močan občutek vzvišenosti v savojsko-piemontski miselnosti, ki se je v Furlaniji udejanjal predvsem v odnosu do Slovencev. Zaključi z razmišljanjem, da ljudsko glasovanje v Furlaniji in Benečiji ne bi moglo imeti nikakršnih posledic na mednarodni ravni, saj je bilo ozemlje na dan glasovanja že priključeno Italiji. Po avtorjevem mnenju bi glasovanje lahko imelo pozitiven učinek, če bi z njim odločitev za združitev s Kraljevino Italijo prikazali kot demokratično odločitev, vendar je to zasenčila nasilna in grozilna propaganda tiska in novih gospodarjev.

Scholarly literature on the subject went in the directions of transitional justice, social psychology and socio-political approaches. However, an unexplored alley of scholarly interest remains in the role of the arts in these processes. By examining the role of arts and memory creation, this introductory article posits these against the background of a problematic reconciliation process in post-conflict areas of the Western Balkans as its core topic. Situated in a post-Yugoslav geographic space, where ethnic conflicts still hinder development, people rest much on the interpretation of the meaning of lived experiences, and the role of images, arts, myths and stories, which are used to either create or dissemble the path to peace between the many ethnic communities that inhabit this area of Europe. The use of several overlapping, yet differently interpreted themes relating to lived experiences and history shows them as symbolic transitional justice policies. They broadly deal with how such knowledges are interpreted through lived moments, such as cinema, museums and public monuments.","PeriodicalId":43126,"journal":{"name":"SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44996988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis focuses on two cases, which attracted particular resistance on each of the two sides: the passing of legislation in the Kosovar parliament in 2012 that aimed to protect Serbian cultural heritage and the 2015 unsuccessful Kosovo bid for unesco membership. Both moments demonstrate how cultural heritage is primarily approached from the statehood perspective and used to additionally deepen inter-ethnic distances. The authors shed more light on the discrepancies between the international peacebuilding efforts and the internationally imposed legal framework, challenging the reduction of the peacebuilding efforts to institutional design, while dominant discourses of both Serbian and Albanian elites essentially deepen the enmity and serve as resistance mechanisms to the international peacebuilding strategies.","PeriodicalId":43126,"journal":{"name":"SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46206169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on the author’s research on the monuments in the capital city of Zagreb, and on the existing research on the politics of memory in the broader post-Yugoslav region, this article asks about the disappearance of the monuments to partisan women in contemporary Zagreb. The main research question regards the gender dimension of the under-representation of women in public space. The hypothesis is that egalitarian gender relations, analyzed here through memorial representation, are important for the democratization of post-socialist societies. Additional focus is on ethnic belonging as an influential explanatory category in accounting for the disappearance of monuments to minority women in contemporary Croatia. The article adds a new empirical vantage point to help better understand the comparative framework of how the socialist past is remembered through monuments.","PeriodicalId":43126,"journal":{"name":"SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43631348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
