| Title | War Stories: How Do Hostel Owners Shape the Narrative of the 1992-5 Bosnian Conflict? |
| Summary | This thesis explores how tourism, and particularly dark tourism studies can be used to investigate international relations theories and practices on the micro-level. Looking at how Bosnian ‘war tours,’ as run by hostel owners, shape the narrative surrounding the Bosnian conflict of 1992-5, it will explore how they challenge grand narratives such as ethnic conflict theory, the othering of unfamiliar cultures and traditions and the idea of a benevolent international community. Using theories of hermeneutic phenomenology each tour is taken as a unique experience but, as will be shown, can assist in the process of forming a more comprehensive picture to demonstrate that international relations does not simply happen at the geo-political macro- level. |
