Umiruće tijelo politike: Rat - konstitucija nacionalnog tijela

Umiruće tijelo politike: Rat - konstitucija nacionalnog tijela

Senadin Musabegović

The philosophical and theoretical study by a Bosnian-Herzegovinian author analyzes how the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992 to 1995 was a biopolitical project of creating a "pure" national body through the systematic killing, expulsion, and rape of

Starting from Agamben, Foucault and Mbembe's necropolitics, Musabegović shows:

  • The national body is constituted only at the moment when it is defined as endangered, and war becomes the "birth" of the nation.
  • The camps (Omarska, Trnopolje, Heliodrom) are not just places of imprisonment but laboratories in which the "alien" body is decomposed to "bare life" and then destroyed or re-educated.
  • The rape of women is not a secondary crime but a key mechanism: the reproductive capacity of another people is destroyed and "our" child is born in "alien" body.
  • Mass graves are places where the dead body continues to be "punished" - it is hidden in order to prevent collective mourning and the survival of the community.

The book argues that post-war BiH is still a "dying body of politics": ethnic division in the constitution fixes the war's necro-logic instead of overcoming it. One of the most radical philosophical interpretations of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, difficult but indispensable for understanding how violence continues to produce reality.
