International Cultural Worker Talks Balkan Politics

Damir Arsenijevic, an international cultural worker, critic, theorist, scholar and translator working in the fields of cultural, gender, and literary studies, speaks about “Towards a Politics of Unbribable Life: The Politics of Memory and Cultural Production in Bosnia and Herzegovina” Wednesday, Nov. 17, from 4-5:30 p.m. in Westmont's Darling Foundation Lecture Hall inside Winter Hall. The lecture, sponsored by the Westmont Office of the Provost and the Departments of Communication Studies, English, Political Science, Sociology and Anthropology is free and open to the public.

Arsenijevic, a lecturer in cultural and literary studies at Tuzla University, Bosnia and Herzegovina, earned a doctorate from De Montfort University, Leicester, U.K. His research and art-theory political interventions examine and impact on the terror of inequality, the solidarity of unbribable life, relevant knowledge production, and material memories of war and genocide. He recently published “Forgotten Future: The Politics of Poetry in Bosnia and Herzegovina” and is currently examining the materiality of memory through the political economy of everyday-life acts of remembrance in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
