Abstract
In this unusual contribution, three prominent younger scholars of the post-Yugoslav region discuss through a series of letters what was socialist Yugoslavia as political community and what came to replace it. Igor Štiks claims that every political community, past and present, is based on the citizenship argument that imposes itself as hegemonic. He explains why we are together as community in the first place, who belongs, and who is excluded. Štiks tries to understand what arguments socialist Yugoslavia was built on and what were the arguments used to subvert and finally destroy it. Ivan Đorđević responds by highlighting how the new states were built on a combination of ethnic nationalism and savage capitalism, resulting in a series of disasters. Biljana Đorđević explains the life of her post-Yugoslav generation and its sense of gloom. All three authors contrast political events with their own destinies that were determined by where (Sarajevo, Belgrade, Vranje) and when (in 1977 and 1984) they were born, and under what circumstances, personal and political, they came of age. Besides their attempts to understand Yugoslavia’s disintegration and the new post-Yugoslav reality, they reflect upon what the Yugoslav socialist legacy could mean for emancipatory movements in the twenty-first century.

Abstract:
Dans cette contribution originale, trois jeunes chercheurs éminents originaires de la région post-yougoslave échangent à travers une correspondance sur la nature de la Yougoslavie socialiste et l’évolution des pays post-yougoslaves en tant que communautés politiques. Igor Štiks analyse la construction des communautés politiques passées et présentes, soulignant l’importance de l’argument de la citoyenneté qui s’impose comme hégémonique. Il explore les arguments sur lesquels reposait la Yougoslavie socialiste ainsi que ceux qui l’ont déstabilisée jusqu’à sa destruction. Ivan Đorđević réagit en mettant en lumière la manière dont les nouveaux États se sont formés à travers un mélange de nationalisme ethnique et de capitalisme débridé, entraînant une série de catastrophes. Biljana Đorđević témoigne de la vie de sa génération post-yougoslave et de son sentiment de morosité. Les trois auteurs établissent des parallèles entre les événements politiques et leur propre expérience personnelle, façonnée par leur lieu (Sarajevo, Belgrade, Vranje) et leur année de naissance (1977 et 1984), ainsi que par les circonstances individuelles et politiques de leur passage à l’âge adulte. Ils interrogent également le potentiel que pourrait avoir l’héritage socialiste yougoslave pour les mouvements émancipateurs du vingt-et-unième siècle.
