The author argues that engaging with the legacy of war rapes that happened two decades ago allow us to observe, reflect and analyse the impact of past research, and in doing so to revise methodologies and theoretical approaches in the future research projects in the field. To reflect on the use of the pas knowledge production in her own ethnographic work, she reflects on two most persuasive academic narratives in the context of war-inflicted rapes in Bosnia-Herzegovina: (1) the victim-survivor name argument and (2) the idea of collective victimhood.
