Reapropriacija Balkanske poti: Boji za mobilnost in so-delujočnost v Bosni in Hercegovini

In this article the authors question how the EU’s enlistment of the post-Yugoslav states into the EU’s border regime has exacerbated local nationalisms. They also question how, on the other hand, migrant struggles to cross this territory have intersected with local movements against nationalism and silenced political alternatives. They use the notion of joint-agency, that is, the co-articulation of mobility struggles and anti­nationalist struggles, in ex-Yugoslavia to read the recent history of the route across the region generally and the current predicament in Bosnia and Herzegovina in particu­lar. This alternative reading facilitates an understanding of the potential of struggles for freedom of movement to reanimate a critique of the coloniality of power in the EUropean borderlands such as the Balkans.Avtorja se v članku sprašujeta, kako je vloga postjugoslovanskih držav v restavraciji mejnega režima Evropske unije zaostrila nacionalizme in kakšen je bil po drugi strani spoj med migrantskimi boji, lokalnimi antinacionalističnimi gibanji in zamolčanimi političnimi alternativami? Pojem so-delujočnost bojev za mobilnost in antinacionalističnih bojev na območju nekdanje Jugoslavije omogoča branje nedavne zgodovine migrantske poti skozi regijo in ožje razumevanje trenutnih tegob zaradi t. i. migrantske krize v Bosni in Hercegovini. Takšno alternativno branje omogoča razumeti potencial, ki ga imajo boji za svobodo gibanja za oživitev kritike kolonialnosti oblasti na mejnem območju EU, kakršno je Balkan
