Reckoning with Reconciliation: Art and Artists in Bosnia and Herzegovina
∞ Reconciliation is often invoked as a primary goal of transitional justice and peacebuilding but it is a term that both resists easy definition and is hotly contested. Art, meanwhile, is posited as an alternative means of promoting reconciliation, but measuring its effectiveness is fraught with difficulty. This article takes a novel approach to answer the question of what art and artists can contribute to postconflict reconciliation by analysing…
Towards Emancipatory Statebuilding in Kosovo? Spatial and Aesthetic Community Building After war
This article explores the emancipatory potential of spatial and aesthetic statebuilding in Kosovo. Focusing on ‘Manifesta’, an international arts biennale, we offer three contributions. First we theorise what is meant by emancipatory statebuilding through the lens of spatial and aesthetic approaches, highlighting the importance of critique, the everyday and materiality. Second, we offer an account of Manifesta as statebuilding project. Third, we …
Late Modern War and theGeos
This article works toward an ontology of war centered on the life of the planet, or geos. Noting a disciplinary tendency to focus on the makers of war, we ask: What if our analyses of war begin not with the technologies of killing but with the life that is targeted? Our response proceeds in four sections. We first identify a 'militarized ontology' of war that forms through the ways that militaries figure violence as spatially and temporally 'prec…
The “Digital Turn” in Transitional Justice Research: Evaluating Image and Text as Data in the Western Balkans
The “digital turn” has transformed the landscape of transitional justice research. A wealth of data has been created through social media channels, and new digitisation tools have made existing data more easily accessible. This article discusses the ethical and methodological dimensions of using digital data and novel technologies in transitional justice research based on innovative research using digital archives, digitised transcripts, social m…
Hybrid Peacebuilding in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Participatory Arts and Youth Activism as Vehicles of Social Change
This article provides an analytical case study of a participatory youth-led filmmaking project in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Using the conceptual framework of hybridity, it critically considers whether and to what extent youth centred, participatory arts projects can facilitate the emergence of a positive hybrid peace. It reflects on three themes—solidarity; creativity as politics; and participation as norm—that speak to the opportunities and challe…
Youth, Comics and Trauma in Transitional Justice
Transitional justice (TJ) institutions and practitioners have increasingly turned to a wide array of methods and mediums to connect with different publics. Within this move to increase the relevance and effectiveness of TJ interventions, the arts have been ever more utilized as a means through which difficult narratives about past trauma and violence are processed and communicated to affected communities.1 More specifically, several TJ institutio…
Shifting Accounts of Justice: The Legalisation and Politicisation of International Criminal Justice
In December 2015, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda delivered its final verdict in Butare, bringing the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda to a close after 21-years. Despite the important role that the tribunal played in confirming international criminal justice as a key transitional justice mechanism, and tool of international peace and security, there has been little retrospective analysis of the court’s history. This artic…
War art and the formation of community
This article examines the relationship between war art and community formation. Building on Hutchison\n(2016), Callahan (2020), Edkins (2003) and others, we are concerned with how the subject position of the war\nartist, and their traumatic encounter with war, might disrupt understandings of community that underpin liberal\nwar making. Focusing on Mark Neville’s Battle Against Stigma, we show that making visible the embedded\nconstraint and compl…
Archiving (In)justice: Building Archives and Imagining Community
This article explores the role that archives play in the constitution and governance of the international community. First, drawing on post-colonial scholarship, it develops a framework to explicate the link between archive and community, centring on questions of voice, identity and responsibility. It then examines how the archive can be analysed, pointing additionally to the importance of the archive’s materiality. Second, these ideas are explor…

A cat-and-Maus game: The Politics of Truth and Reconciliation in Post-Conflict Comics
Several scholars have raised concerns that the institutional mechanisms through which transitional justice is commonly promoted in post-conflict societies can alienate affected populations. Practitioners have looked to bridge this gap by developing 'outreach' programmes, in some instances commissioning comic books in order to communicate their findings to the people they seek to serve. In this article, we interrogate the ways in which post-confli…
