ABSTRACT

Characteristics from the social construction of ‘self’ and of ‘others’ in Bosnia-Herzegovina show that the creation of a positive self-image in this post-war society is strongly connected with collective self-victimisation of one’s own in-group. An objective hermeneutical analysis of narrative interviews conducted with Bosniaks, Bosnian Croats, and Bosnian Serbs reveals five self-victimisation strategies: Two dissociative strategies, which conspicuously reproduce the dichotomy of victim and perpetrator along ethnic lines and candidly reinforce the ethnic boundaries – moral alchemy and double relativisation – and three strategies, which seem to transcend the boundaries between ethnic in-group and out-group – the associative strategies of subjectification of war, the externalisation of responsibility, and silence. A subsequent contextualisation of the identified strategies indicates, however, that, ultimately, associative strategies are equally conducive to the further manifestation of ethnic boundaries.

身份、种族界限和集体受害:分析战后波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的自我伤害策略

摘要

波斯尼亚-黑塞哥维那“自我”和“他人”的社会建构特征表明,在这个战后社会中创造积极的自我形象与集体自我伤害自己的群体密切相关。对波斯尼亚克人、波斯尼亚克罗地亚人和波斯尼亚塞族人进行的叙事访谈的客观解释分析揭示了五种自我受害策略: 两种分离策略,它们明显地再现了沿种族线的受害者和肇事者的二分法,并坦率地加强了种族界限——道德炼金术和双重相对化——以及似乎超越了族群内族和族外族群界限的三种策略——战争主体化、责任外化和沉默的关联策略。
