Sarajevo as a Site and Symbol: A Conversation with Fran Markowitz

from Eclectic Intellection · host Eclectic Intellection

In this episode, we discuss how historical narratives, ethnic categories, and a unique urban culture have shaped the distinct, much-admired, and at times nostalgically-evoked multiculturalism of the city of Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina. My guest is Fran Markowitz, who is a Professor Emerita in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, and we will focus on her 2010 book Sarajevo: A Bosnian Kaleidoscope (University of Illinois Press).
