Beschreibung
In his book about yearnings for ‘normal lives’, Stef Jansen coined the term The (Dayton) Meantime to refer to the specific temporal configuration in which people in a Sarajevo apartment complex in 2008-2010 shared an affective experience that their lives were ‘on hold’, suspended between a known past and a normative future. In this talk he will ask: Can the notion of the Meantime travel? Is every time a Meantime? And, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a decade and a half later, is The Dayton Meantime over, for whom, in which ways, and to what degree?
Stef Jansen is a social anthropologist. He is Professor at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Since the mid- 990s he has conducted ethnographic research in Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. His publications have explored questions of home, hope, the state, borders, infrastructure and political subjectivity, always with a focus on inequality and domination, social transformations and everyday geopolitics.
