Pledoaje za deviktimizaciju i sintetičko pamćenje
A plead for devictimisation and synthetic memory

Summary/Abstract: Cultures that consciously cherish oblivion of collective memory neccesarily end up in (self)victimisation and victimo transgresional narratives and politics. Following a „culture of selective recollection“ one does not only end in „civil memory wars“, but in armed conflicts as well. Be it individual or collective, memory is a very complex psycho-sociological procces not having in mind utter completeness. It is, on the contrary, always founded on a more or less „rigid choice“. Therefore „the culture of oblivion“ is a counterpart of „culture of recollection“. None the less, the following rule applies: the more the political culture is an expression of prepolitical states or transitional traumas, the more important function do myths have. „Mental images become icons“, stories become myths that separate hystorical experience from concrete conditions of its emergence and transform it into timeless tales. Because of this reason, all nationalisms in BiH (and in surrounding countries) are so little interested in so called synthetic memory, for the cosmpolitization of identity and ambients through trans-national pulsations and networking. and networking. Yet, it is time to stop with unitarian idle tales about BiH or with lies that BiH has, entering UN, become a „political community“. It is also time for the secessionist dreams about a „state inside a state“ to end and start working on a project of a civilised political community in BiH, respecting all identities, inclusive attitudes as co-nations. One other presupposition for a political community in BiH is devictimisation, so the procceses of cosmopolitization of identities and ambients can begin. This project is, of course, founded on the political culture of consensus. In that manner this is a direct plead for „composite integrality“ in BiH. In a world we still need to fight for, every cultural, political or jurisdictional violence would of course be unacceptable, whether they came from a secessionistic or a unitaristic side. In these coordinates is this plead for devictimisation and synthetic memory set.
