Is peace becoming obsolete? The Kibbutz Be’eri file
This article examines the disappearance of the liberal peace paradigm. I examine how peace itself ceases to exist by drawing on the case of Kibbutz Be’eri, long associated with Israel's peace camp and known for its close ties with residents of Gaza, in which dozens of residents were killed or taken hostage, and its response to the October 7 massacre. The Be’eri residents were confronted with a triple shock: (a) the sudden and unexpected massacre;…
Whose Right to Memory? The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in Legal Disputes
There is a growing amount of literature on the ways in which the law has been utilised to promote a wide spectrum of memory agendas, from penalising Holocaust and genocide denials to penalising a state or a nation for being accountable for crimes committed in the past. Yet we know close to nothing on how major institutions, such as Holocaust museums, use the law to safeguard official memory narratives. In this paper, I trace two cases of legal ba…
Organized Callousness
The ongoing war in Gaza has generated extensive polemic among scholars and the general public.1 Some have described this conflict as a novel form of warfare. The deeply asymmetric character of this
Claiming the People's Past
This book offers a global and systematic overview of populist politics of history in the twenty-first century. An international group of scholars interrogates how and why populists engage with the past. Twelve case studies focus on uses of history and memory by populist movements across the globe – ranging from Brazil to Bangladesh, from Poland to Tanzania. Five thematic chapters zoom in on key features of populism: its relation to time, national…
Plotting against our nation
This paper analyses the relationships between nationalism and conspiracy theories during the COVID-19 pandemic. We focus on the two main issues: 1) the intensity and character of belief in the COVID-19 conspiracy theories across five European societies: Germany, England, Ireland, Serbia, and Sweden; and 2) how is the commitment to specific nationalist ideologies linked with the belief in conspiracy theories. The data indicates that those who desc…

Neoliberalism, the Covid-19 Crisis, and the Quantification of Data
This short piece discusses the historical-sociological relationship between neoliberalism and quantification of data during the corona pandemic crisis
Moral Remembrance and New Inequalities
The article traces the emergence of the novel phenomenon known as “moral remembrance” (MR). MR refers to the standardized set of norms, promoted through the human rights infrastructures of world polity, in which societies are supposed to deal with the legacies of mass human rights abuses. This vision has adopted, over the past forty years, the three main principles of “facing the past,” “a duty to remember,” and having a “victim-centered approach…

Policing Memory in Bosnia
Holocaust and genocide memorialisation policies in the Western Balkans and Israel/Palestine
In this article I approach memory construction as one of the crucial categories through which human rights values are invoked to impose moral responsibilities for past atrocities. In the conflict and post-conflict settings, however, memory construction is quite often used to define and reinforce ethnic boundaries. Analysing putative Holocaust-genocide nexuses in different conflict (Israel and Palestine) and post-conflict (Serbia, Croatia, and Bos…
Impression management of a contested past
I show here that in the creation of a current Serbian calendar, as a state-sponsored practice, there is an extensive usage of impression management techniques which enabled a different reading of the calendar at both the domestic and international levels. It is further claimed that the calendar serves multiple functions and meanings: on the one hand, it tends to present Serbia as a democratic and progressive state, but on the other hand, it legit…

Age at menarche in Ceylon
The age at menarche in girls in schools in Colombo city, Ceylon, in 1968, was estimated by probit analysis as 13·72 ± 0·12 years. This figure is higher than that of 12·84 years obtained in 1950 by a similar analysis. The exact date at menarche was forgotten by 15·5% of the sample but all alleged they remembered the year of age at which it was reached. However, cohort analysis gave a higher mean value than probit analysis, indicating that some gir…
