Anotace - angličtina
The course focuses on Balkan nationalism and selected aspects of conflict society in the Western Balkans after the break-up of the Eastern Bloc. Because of the break-up of Socialist Yugoslavia in 1991, tensions and collective violence escalated in the Western Balkans (initially in Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, later also in Kosovo). The course examines both political and socio-economic causes of why the tensions escalated to such an extent in the former Yugoslav republics. It likewise puts emphasis on the typology of conflicts, chosen phenomena that influenced ex-Yugoslav communities in the course of the war and the formation of a new war identity. Attention is also devoted to paramilitary groups and to the impacts of the war under scrutiny on the behaviour of societies as well as of individuals. The principal aim of the course is to provide students with an overview of the main aspects of war anthropology and their influence on communities dramatically changed by war.

Cíl předmětu - angličtina

The course aims to provide students with an overview of the main aspects of the break-up of Yugoslavia and the next development in the Western Balkans. The introductory lectures focus on the national politics of Tito’s Yugoslavia), the examples of nationalist propaganda in practice (i.e. the recounting of the number of dead of World War II in the 1980s), and the characteristics of the Yugoslav constitutional order. Then the focus is placed on analysing the typology of the most important conflicts in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. We observe and analyse different interpretations of these wars and examine to what extent these conflicts were civil wars or acts of aggression on the part of the neighbouring countries (the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Croatia). Attention is also paid to the assessment of the accompanying phenomena of the wars under scrutiny: ethnic cleansing and forced migration. The following lectures are devoted to violence, which was brought into ex-Yugoslav communities from the outside – by paramilitary units and foreign combatants who fought in the area in huge numbers, especially in the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The last bloc of the course analyses the development in the FRY area, the Kosovo war and its aftermath.
