After tyrannies, dictatorships or wars, every society and every state is faced with the question of how to deal with the crimes committed, with the victims and perpetrators. The forms of dealing with the past are very diverse. The ten-part event series “Transitional Justice” aims to show different aspects of social and legal processes of coming to terms with the past after system upheavals and to provide insights into the culture and politics of remembrance in their respective national contexts. The series will be moderated by Tamina Kutscher, editor-in-chief of dekoder.org.
The fourth event “Hate or Reconciliation? National identity and transnational relations in the Balkans” shifts the focus to processes of transitional justice in Albania, Rumania, Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. How did Albania come to terms with the violent and dictatorial past under the rule of Enver Hoxta? How does the Albanian government deal with this past and its legacies? How did Romania approach dealing with the communist regime after the bloody overthrow of Ceaușescu? After the collapse of Yugoslavia, how did the newly founded states deal with the injustices under the dictatorship of Josip Broz Tito, but also with the traumatic experiences of the Balkan wars of the 1990s? What influence do the ethnic lines of conflict have on the historical-political narratives in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina to this day? Is there a connection between these narratives and constructions of national identity? And how do the Balkan states currently relate to each other? In terms of dealing with the past, what is most prevalent: hate or reconciliation?
The discussion will be held in German and English, simultaneously translated and broadcasted on two livestreams in German and English. You are welcome to participate with questions and comments in the YouTube chat or via email to veranstaltungen@bundesstiftung-aufarbeitung.de.
