Collective experiences in the former Yugoslavia documents and
analyses how social representations and practices are shaped by
collective violence in a context of ethnic discourse. What are the
effects of violence and what are the effects of collectively
experienced victimisation on societal norms, attitudes and
collective beliefs? This volume stresses that mass violence has a
de- and re-structuring role for manifold psychosocial processes. A
combined psychosocial approach draws attention to how most people
in the former Yugoslavia had to endure and cope with war and
dramatic societal changes and how they resisted and overcame ethnic
rivalry, violence and segregation. It is a departure from the
mindset that depict most people in the former Yugoslavia as either
blind followers of ethnic war entrepreneurs or as intrinsically
motivated for violence by deep-rooted intra-ethnic loyalties and
inter-ethnic animosities.

This open access interdisciplinary book integrates the major
findings and theoretical advances of a 12-year research program run
by the Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research LIVES
research program hosted by the universities of Lausanne and Geneva,
within a single comprehensive and coherent publication on
vulnerability across adulthood. The book is based on the idea that
vulnerability is an essential component of the life course that can
inform how we use our resources, reserves and cope with stressors
across the life course. It provides a unique interdisciplinary
research framework based on the idea that vulnerability is a
complex and dynamic process that can only be approached through a
multidimensional, multilevel, and multidirectional perspective.
This is an invaluable new resource for students and researchers in
life course studies, and those from other disciplines willing to
include life course factors in their research on vulnerability
issues.
