Developed through a series of encounters with a Bosnian Serb
soldier, Looking for Bosnia is a meditation on the possibilities
and limitations of responding to the extreme violence of the
Bosnian war. Framed through the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas, the
book explores the ethics of confronting the war criminal and
investigates the possibility of responsibility not just to victims
of war and war crimes, but also to the perpetrators of violence. As
such, Looking for Bosnia is a consideration of the human encounter,
exploring the political and scholarly strategies through which the
'human' is often dismissed as 'inhuman.' In a political imaginary
that seeks a neat distinction between good and evil, this book
seeks to expose the complexity of these categories. To this extent,
the book is as much about the role of the researcher as it is about
how to approach genocide. In light of an increasing interest in the
literature on post structuralist ethics, Looking for Bosnia
explores the complexity of what it means to pursue justice after
genocide. of international politics, ethics, fieldwork and research
design, post-conflict reconstruction, and the Balkan Wars of the
1990s.
