Totalitarni multiverzum biopolitičkih procesa: Izvanbosansko biopolitičko tetoviranje bosanskohercegovačke stvarnosti / Totalitarian Multiverse of Biopolitical Processes: Beyond-Bosnian Biopolitical Tattooing of the Bosnian Reality

The topic, farsightedly focused on the analysis of the biopolitics consequences in the context of Bosnia and Herzegovina, represents the key to understanding not only its historical legacy, but also its current state, political instability, social dynamics, and the future of everything Bosnian. The title Totalitarian Multiverse of Biopolitical Processes: Beyond-Bosnian Biopolitical Tattooing of the Bosnian Reality aims to be a prolegomena for a complex approach to this phenomenon, emphasizing how biopolitics, as a means of power, surveillance and control over the lives of individuals and populations, shapes various aspects of social, political and cultural life in Bosnia and Herzegovina. At its core, biopolitics is concerned with issues of control over life—not only in terms of physical existence, but also through the control of identity, collective memory, and social resources. As a concept that in modern societies constantly balances on the border of totalitarianism, biopolitics threatens to take over all aspects of everyday life, establishing mechanisms of surveillance over body and mind. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, biopolitics, through its totalitarian and repressive nature, is deeply connected with issues of genocide, ethnic identity, clericalization, political instability and the role of the media in generating new agendas of modern biopolitical practice. This paper deals with the research of biopolitical processes in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina, analyzing key topics that range from the biopolitics of genocide, through the institutionalization of ethnic divisions, to the creation of a state of permanent political and social instability. These topics not only shape the reality of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also lay the foundations for understanding the broader framework of modern biopolitics. Through the concept of "biopolitical tattooing" of the Bosnian reality, the paper will examine how external and internal biopolitical processes have left lasting traces on the Bosnian society and how these processes are reflected on everyday life, identity and social, cultural and political dynamics.

Abstract

The topic, farsightedly focused on the analysis of the biopolitics consequences in the context of Bosnia and Herzegovina, represents the key to understanding not only its historical legacy, but also its current state, political instability, social dynamics, and the future of everything Bosnian. The title Totalitarian Multiverse of Biopolitical Processes: Beyond-Bosnian Biopolitical Tattooing of the Bosnian Reality aims to be a prolegomena for a complex approach to this phenomenon, emphasizing how biopolitics, as a means of power, surveillance and control over the lives of individuals and populations, shapes various aspects of social, political and cultural life in Bosnia and Herzegovina. At its core, biopolitics is concerned with issues of control over life—not only in terms of physical existence, but also through the control of identity, collective memory, and social resources. As a concept that in modern societies constantly balances on the border of totalitarianism, biopolitics threatens to take over all aspects of everyday life, establishing mechanisms of surveillance over body and mind. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, biopolitics, through its totalitarian and repressive nature, is deeply connected with issues of genocide, ethnic identity, clericalization, political instability and the role of the media in generating new agendas of modern biopolitical practice. This paper deals with the research of biopolitical processes in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina, analyzing key topics that range from the biopolitics of genocide, through the institutionalization of ethnic divisions, to the creation of a state of permanent political and social instability. These topics not only shape the reality of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also lay the foundations for understanding the broader framework of modern biopolitics. Through the concept of "biopolitical tattooing" of the Bosnian reality, the paper will examine how external and internal biopolitical processes have left lasting traces on the Bosnian society and how these processes are reflected on everyday life, identity and social, cultural and political dynamics.
