Yearnings in the Meantime

An ethnographic account, this book looks into a Sarajevo apartment building as its inhabitants yearn for "normal lives," over a decade after the war and the disintegration of Socialist Yugoslavia. Starting from everyday concerns, it freshly explores how the time and place in which we are caught shape our hopes and fears.

O relatare etnografica, aceasta carte priveste o cladire de apartamente din Sarajevo, in timp ce locuitorii sai doresc „vieti normale”, peste un deceniu dupa razboi si dezintegrarea Iugoslaviei socialiste. Pornind de la preocuparile de zi cu zi, exploreaza proaspat modul in care timpul si locul in care suntem prinsi ne modeleaza sperantele si temerile.
