Summary/Abstract: After the initial reflection on the governance of trauma and the politics of terror, as well as their culturalization in the everyday life in Bosnia and Herzegovina, this article aims to identify the following problems and questions concerning the politics witnessing to trauma: a) existing deadlocks in the institutional academic space caught in ethnonational and neoliberal matrix; b) possibilities for emancipatory practices in knowledge production and cultural production which resist the dominant political, as well as culturalised matrices of governing life, and which create new politics of hope and horizons of social change. The aim is to open up the space for different critical examination of key questions concerning past, present and future in BiH and its surroundings, through the nexus of art, politics and everydaylife.
