20.500.12556/RUL-171790 Paved-over graveyards in Bosnia the agency of the dead, personal experience narratives, and legends in the media In this article I discuss Bosnian Muslim narratives about traffic accidents and other misfortunes that occur in places where the dead were disturbed in their graves, transmitted orally and in the media. I first discuss vernacular notions about the dead exhibiting agency when their graves were being paved-over, built-over, removed or disturbed in any other way. I then discuss the roles that the narration of these stories may play for the members of the conduit. Finally, I argue that new details and interpretations that were introduced once the oral narratives entered the public media affected the overall role of the narratives about the disturbed dead – converting them from moral agents into vehicles of the ethnonationalist agenda. ethnology folklore the dead graves traffic accidents Islam media nationalism Bosnia and Herzegovina etnologija folkloristika mrtvi grobovi prometne nesreče islam množični mediji nacionalizem Bosna in Hercegovina true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2025-09-02 14:54:04 2025-09-02 14:54:07 2026-04-27 12:48:52 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 187-212 Vol. 96 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-01-01 2-187:28(497.6) 1406-0957 10.7592/FEJF2025.96.mencej 246376707 Mencej_Folklore_vol._96.pdf Mencej_Folklore_vol._96.pdf 1 C968A7C675868C369D238560027AEB7C 59929bfc2508e3bedb108c478db0f04de07f9cc76bd834b47226f21843d603ba e5bc89f1-87fb-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=215274 https://www.folklore.ee/folklore/vol96 1 c52c3f7b-87fb-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=215273 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
