“…Tačnije, nakon raspada Jugoslavije devedesetih, obični čitalac međunarodnih novina, kao npr. u primjerima novinarstva sjevernoameričkih i zapadnoevropskih diplomatskih i političkih establišmenta, nije imao nimalo sumnje da su etno-religijska mržnja, ratovi, nasilje i zločini u jugoistočnoj Evropi endemični i primordijalni (Kaplan, 1993;Kennan, 1993;Cohen, 1993;Gutman, 1993;Rieff, 1995;Glenny, 1996;Judah, 1997;Gallagher, 2007;Hislope, 2007). Najveći broj ovih prikaza kontinuirano je ponavljao poruke ranog dvadesetog vijeka, prema kojima narodi južne Evrope žive u drugom vremenu i varvarskoj zemlji, zbog čega ih je nužno obuzdavati i ograditi od ostatka Zapadne Evrope.…”

U ovom članku istražujemo različite forme putopisa, medijskih izvještaja, diplomatskih zapisa, politika, istinosnih tvrdnji i svjedočanstava eksperata u kojima su različite narativne perspektive o balkanskim ratovima, kako starim (1912–1913) tako i novim (1991–1999), bile najevidentnije. Tvrdimo da su načini na koje su ove perspektive ukorijenjene u različitim vremenima i istorizacijama rezultovali u konstruisanju opšteprihvaćenih i zastarjelih predstava. U praktičnom smislu, istražujemo nekoliko obrazaca narativa koji su vodili senzacionalizmu medijske industrije i esencijalizaciji kolektivnog pamćenja. Uzeti zajedno, kao opšta odlika savremene politike i analize u dominantnom međunarodnom mišljenju, politici i nauci, ovi narativni obrasci pokazuju da se istorijsko znanje prenosi na načine koji stvaraju sadašnjost i predstavljaju izvještaje o drugoj prošlosti, kao i da se kolektivna vjerovanja aktera međunarodne zajednice konstruišu kao medijski događaji i javne hegemonističke predstave. Cilj nam je pokazati na koji način se određeni trenuci prekida istoricizuju i posljedično koriste i zloupotrebljavaju za anahronistično predstavljanje jugoistočne Evrope.

“…Many commentators repeatedly overemphasized parallels between the barbarisms of the 1912-1913 Balkan wars and the Yugoslav conflicts in the 1990s. Actually, the casual reader of the international press, as represented for instance by the journalism of the North American and West European diplomatic and political establishment (Kaplan 1993;Kennan 1993;Cohen 1993;Gutman 1993;Rieff 1995;Glenny 1996;Judah 1997Judah , 2002Nation 2003;Gallagher 2007;Hislope 2007), has been left in little doubt that wars in the former Yugoslavia were endemic and primordial. Most of the commentators constructed a view according to which violence in Southeast Europe maintains an indefinite continued predominance that 'permits us to see the end in every beginning' (White 1987, 24).…”

International representations of Balkan wars: a socio-anthropological approach in international relations perspective

This article introduces the socio-anthropological concept of international representations to examine the relationship between a civilizational rhetoric, the West European and the international politics of otherization and containment of Southeast Europe, and an essentialist and timeless bias in international relations theory, including both radical and constructivist trends. We first explore the different narrative perspectives on the Balkan wars from the beginning to the end of the twentieth century. Their subsequent problematization is aimed at challenging the way they have constructed commonplace and time-worn representations, which international society shares with different consequences in international affairs. This is a limited conception since international representations as a socio-anthropological concept are always socially, culturally and politically constructed, contested and negotiated. They do not neutrally refer to a reality in the world; they create a reality of their own. Moreover, this limited conception ignores the fact that how, by whom and in whose interest international representations are constructed is itself a form of power in international relations. Therefore, the way international representations are constructed can be problematized as an example of political and ideological projects that operate in the West as well as in the Southeast European countries that are the object of Western foreign policy.

“…Many commentators repeatedly overemphasized parallels between the barbarisms of the 1912–1913 Balkan wars to explain the Yugoslav conflicts of the 1990s. Over the past decades, the casual reader of the international press was encouraged to believe that ethnic-religious hatred, wars, violence and atrocities in former Yugoslavia ought to be endemic and primordial (Cohen, 1993; Gallagher, 2007; Gati, 1992; Glenny, 1996; Hislope, 2007; Judah, 1997, 2002; Kaplan, 1993; Kennan, 1993; Nation, 2003).…”

International audienceIn this article, we explore the ways in which from the beginning to the end of twentieth century different temporalities and historicizations stemming from different narrative perspectives on the Balkan wars have constructed different commonplace, timeworn and enduring representations. In practical terms, we take issue with several patterns of narratives, such as the sensationalism of media industry, the essentialization of collective memory, the securitization of imaginary threats and the pacifist activism of normative transformations. It is our contention to argue that they historicize certain moments of rupture, which are subsequently used and misused to construct an anachronistic representation of Southeast Europe that may conceal hidden interests. Contrastingly, an alternative narrative that emphasizes a “history from below” as an apperception of the temporality of being can offer a revisionist approach that may show the futility of ahistorical accounts
