4.2 Genealogy of a wedding in Sarajevo
Based on this, we can try to deconstruct the imposed political-geographical narrative that tends to become a discourse on the civil war in Sarajevo (1992-95)11This civil war began with the murder of a Serb in the wedding party in Sarajevo in 1992.. He starts from the fact that there were Serbs in Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992-95. used certain practices, i.e. ”Carried out ethnic cleansing of Muslims / Bosniaks” (Dahlman & Toal, 2005: 644), which led to the practice of punishing Serbs22From 1991 to 1999, a wide range of instruments have been applied, from political isolation and blockades, economic sanctions to war time.. In doing so, the number and structure of the population are neglected, as a basic geographical fact. Since the aim of this paper is not a detailed political-geographical analysis of the civil war in Sarajevo, nor its consequences33On the reasons for the abandonment of the homes of more than 140,000 Sarajevo Serbs, as well as the emergence of the city of Srpsko Sarajevo, see: G. Mutabdžija, Sarajevo-Romania region: a fluid space between the rural and urban , 2016., but a ”rebellion of conquered knowledge” that leads us to discover the hidden truth, we will dwell on these indications as a guide to the full application of genealogical analysis in modern political-geographical problems.
