Affect’s Social Lives. Post-Yugoslav Reflections.

Edited by: Ana Hofman, Tanja Petrović
Year: 2023


Why is the talk about Yugoslavia still emotionally charged and situated in the registers of passion, pain, sentimental recollections, or nostalgia even 30 years after its violent dissolution? How is the sphere of the affective, sensory, and embodied fundamental to understanding the historical project of Yugoslavia and its afterlives? The chapters in this book address these questions by focusing on artistic practices and explore how the attempts to conceptually capture our social realities in their messy, fluid, and indeterminate natures contribute to a nuanced understanding of the complex sociopolitical processes in the region.
