For the Future-Wary: Eco-eschatology in Four Steps
This essay gleans insights from local ecological practices and Islamic sources to address global climate futures. It outlines an eco-eschatology, as a disposition and practice of living towards the possibility of the end of the world. Key themes of eco-eschatology – attentiveness to the multispecies world, contemplation of human responsibility, hopefulness against the odds, and commitment to activism – are resonant with current eco-concerns. What…
Time to dread
This article examines ecological thought and eschatology, an interpretation of the end of the world. It draws upon the teachings of the Quran and the knowledge of Bosnian Muslim beekeepers to explore how climate disasters and global bee colony collapses affect people's lives and the environment. The article examines how these changes alter the relationships between plants, animals and humans and suggests that eco-eschatology can help us better un…
The Thing in a Jar: Mushrooms and Ontological Speculations in Post-Yugoslavia
This essay thinks with things that ferment medical remedies in recycled jars and issue exuberant surpluses across kitchens in Bosnia and ex-Yugoslavia. While the jars are handled under the preferred sign of the mushroom and brewing recipes include instructions on non-commercial exchange, the nature of the things in the jar remains vague. Brewing in the kitchens and circling as gifts are buoyant life-forms that alter their hosts, inspire zones of …

Interplanetary Present: On a Spectacle of Mass Healing and Gifting in Bosnia
This essay contemplates public healing spectacles in post-socialist Bosnia when tens of thousands of people walked through the hands of a Moroccan healer, Mekki Torabi, who worked free of charge. In the public discourse, the credibility of a healing miracle was closely tied to the possibility of generosity, and the critics energetically investigated the hidden financial schemes that would expose Torabi's magic for the trick of making money. Depar…
Grave Matters and the Good Life: On a Finite Economy in Bosnia
This article outlines how the good life and a decent death in contemporary Bosnia are underwritten and undermined by informal forms of debt. Such debts finance pursuit of a pleasurable life in a post-conflict, post-socialist economy but inspire daily anxieties, not least about dying indebted. The article runs through household budgeting, everyday splurges, bodily discomforts, ordinary death and a funeral marketplace, suggesting a 'finite economy'…
