Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to present an interdisciplinary and international project, carried out jointly by the University in Oslo, Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory in Belgrade, and Mediacenter in Sarajevo. Its purpose is to study the role of media rhetoric and discourses on the Other, in the ethnic and territorial conflicts in former Yugoslavia. In this paper, I describe the project’s aims, research organization, covered topics as well as approaches that will be used. In the conclusion, I offer some points of criticism that can be taken into account in order to enable a more adequate attainment of the project’s goals.
