Tue Jun 29 14:58:13 GMT 2021





*Call for papers*

Scientific conference titled “*30 years since the attack on Dubrovnik: Political, communicational and cultural aspects of the city under siege*” will be held on *October 1-2, 2021* at the University of Dubrovnik.

Thirty years after the attacks on Dubrovnik, the University of Dubrovnik in cooperation with the Croatian Academy of Science and Arts and Linnaeus University, Sweden, are organizing an interdisciplinary conference on political, communicational and cultural aspects of the city under siege. A special focus of the conference will be given to analysis and comparisons with other cities that were under siege (Vukovar, Sarajevo, Srebrenica...) during the wars in the former Yugoslavia (1991-1999), but comparisons with other conflicts are also welcome.

Proposals may include, but are not limited to, the following topics:

● Understanding the context: the dissolution of Yugoslavia
● War reporting practices from the Dubrovnik area;
● Media analysis on the subject of war in Dubrovnik, Croatia and the ex-Yugoslav area from 1988 to 1995; ● Media and their role in international relations, with a special mention of the recognition of the new states (Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia & Herzegovina);
● Strategic communication during wartime (media war);
● Journalists during the war, humanizing the war, journalistic identification with casualties of war;
● Journalistic sources in wartime;
● War propaganda, media control and manipulation;
● Cities under siege - comparative analysis
● Framing the war and collective memory - commemorations, narratives and the confronting of interpretations
● Remembering the war - museums and monuments
● Cultural heritage under the siege

Selected conference papers will be published in the special issue of the journal *Collegium Antropologicum* (Scopus).
