    Balkan.Perspectives Podcast # 25 - Film i suočavanje s prošlošću #SRB

    "Liceulice FM je radio emisija koja se već osam godina emituje na online radio stanici RadioAparat. Emisija se bavi onim temama kojima se bavi i magazin Liceulice, a to su, pre svega, antidiskriminacija, zelene politike i teme koje možemo podvesti pod široki krovni izraz „teme od javnog interesa“ u kojima se bavimo od prava na obrazovanje i široko dostupnog zdravstva preko angažovane umetnosti i kulturnih politika do javnog dijaloga i kulture sećanja. U epizodi emisije Liceulice FM koja je realizovana u saradnji sa forumZFD-om razgovarali smo o angažmanu na filmu, te kako se kroz ovu umetnost mogu otvoriti neuralgične tačke naše nedavne istorije. Organizovani 'zaborav' i selektivno 'pamćenje' koji sve prožimaju naše društvo, naravno, ostavili su svoj uticaj i na filmske stvaraoce, ali i dalje ima onih koji svojim delima prkose dominantnim društvenim narativima. O takvim filmovima smo razgovarali sa Ivanom Matijević, urednicom kulture u dnevnom listu 'Danas' i Pavlom Simjanovićem, filmskim kritičarem u istim novinama."

    Balkan.Perspectives Podcast: 25 Years After the End of the War

    The current edition of the Balkan Perspectives podcast by forumZFD in Kosovo delves into memorialization policies, homogeneous perspectives of the war, and dealing with the past in Kosovo. In this episode, journalist Serbeze Haxhiaj discusses these topics with Alban Bokshi, a political scientist, civil society activist, and researcher focusing on narratives of dealing with the past. Bokshi elaborates on the political landscape of memorialization and commemoration in Kosovo, shaped significantly by the war and the idealization of heroism as the ultimate truth. He dives into the contentious debate surrounding a "regime of truth" that dictates which narratives are accepted or suppressed stories that are celebrated and remembered versus those that are silenced or forgotten. Bokshi's contribution enriches the discussion on the dominant narrative that has long prioritized a singular heroic perspective, highlighting the pressing need for diversity and pluralism in historical representation.

    Balkan.Perspectives Podcast: Interview with Shkëlzen Maliqi

    Within the framework of the 23rd edition of Balkan Perspectives Latif Mustafa is interviewing Shkëlzen Maliqi about art, culture, and dealing with the past. In the 1990s, when Kosovo society started to organize its life in parallel way, just as it was organized like that in many social spheres, it was likewise unavoidable for art and culture to be thus organized within their realm. The interview puts a critical eye on several events from the 1980s, 1990s to date with some perspectives, either historical, critical, or paradigmatic.
