Title A Battle over Innocence: Gender and Competing Narratives of a War Event in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Summary This thesis analyzes the development of competing narratives of one war event that took place in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina on May 15, 1992. The thesis looks at the development of the narratives on the level of two political entities in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as locally, in two towns where different commemorations are held. The purpose of the thesis is to examine how the status of innocence as well as the notion of innocence is constructed and how both “sides” employ similar patterns and similar essentializations in order to achieve the status of the innocent and just side in the war.
