FUNDING
My work was first and foremost funded through Dr Sari Wastell's ERC project Bosnian Bones, Spanish Ghosts: 'Transitional Justice' and the Legal Shaping of Memory after Two Modern Conflicts. Under the auspices of the project, I was able to conduct my doctoral research, including the year-long fieldwork in Bosnia. Additional invaluable support has come through bursaries from the Goldsmiths' Anthropology Department and the Open Society Foundation's Global Supplementary Grant Programme. I remain deeply grateful for their support. My project, however, does not necessarily reflect the opinions of these individuals and institutions.
ACKNOWLEGDEMENTS
There are many to whom my thanks are due.
Dr Sari Wastell is my PhD mentor at Goldsmiths. I have had the opportunity of witnessing her 'fieldwork magic' in Bosnia, and was impressed with the ethical and methodological framework of her research, as well as the genuine relationships she so easily established. I am grateful for her intellectual and emotional support, as well as the funding which I received through her project.
Dr Frances Pine is also my PhD mentor at Goldsmiths. I truly appreciate all her subtle advice, constant readiness to read and comment upon my work, share her extensive anthropological experience, as well as never letting me leave her office with less than a dozen books from her library.
Dr Vanja Hamzić is surely my best and most fierce critic. Our intense discussions made this work as much his as it is mine, and the constant comfort of his companionship softened the 'anthropological loneliness' I experienced at times.
There are many people who have been incredibly kind to me during fieldwork, and I am afraid I cannot mention but a few. I am especially grateful to the people of Kula, Branilovići, Nadanići, Hodinići, Bahori, Križ, Kreševo and Mokro.
Eno Tanović was the most wonderful host in Gacko. Conversations with him are central to my doctoral work.
Sadet, Sevaha, Fata, Bećir, Zahida, Hamo, Milo, Edo, Dževad, Rusmir, Melina, Edita, Nada, Mila, Kanita, Vlado, Nina, Marija, I thank you for making my journey incredible in your own ways.
And last, but certainly not least, Alma Agović, my fieldwork with you around has been an incredible experience. Yes, it was fun, but, more than that, it made me ask different questions and reach different conclusions. Travelling in your car, chasing cyclical time, lighting ritual fires, walking through caves, finding pristine lakes, getting lost in the mountain forests...
