Summary/Abstract: The book explores how the feminist and antimilitarist collective Women in Black (Žene u crnom) from Belgrade redefines grief as a political act by resisting nationalistic, gendered, and militarized norms of mourning. It critically engages with the idea of "ungrievable" lives, challenging sovereign power structures by turning grief into a performative site of resistance and transnational solidarity. Drawing on theorists like Judith Butler, Jacques Derrida, and Michel Foucault, the study examines how sovereign and biopolitical power operates through the exclusion of certain lives and how feminist mourning practices confront and subvert this logic.
