Nacionalizam pred sudom: uloga povijesnih narativa u procesima pred Međunarodnim krivičnim sudom za bivšu Jugoslaviju
Nationalism on trial: the role of historical narratives in trials before International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia

Summary/Abstract: The author of the article approaches the treatment of history before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia using expert reports and trial transcripts. Drawing upon the methodological framework of the political trial context as a performative act and history as a narrative constructed by institutional and non-institutional actors, based on Hayden White's theory of the metanarrative of history, the author analyzes the presence of narratives regarding three historical phenomena that played a key role in the wars in Yugoslavia. The first of these is the place of the ideology of nationalism, the second is the place of memory politics with a particular focus on World War II, and the third are the conflicting visions of the dissolution of the SFRY.
