It engages a productive critique of the ‘trauma market’ within post-conflict societies and proposes ways out of the increasing threats to justice, security and development in the context of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as globally. It further demands enhancing the transformative potentials, agents, and actions that struggle against social and political violence and inequality through hopeful politics at the grassroots level. Jasmina Husanovic (PhD, University of Wales) is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and a chair of Cultural Studies.
