本文探讨了叙述性访谈为批判性地评估波斯尼亚-黑塞哥维那布尔奇科区和解政策的成功主张提供的可能性。更具体地说,这篇论文认为,这种成功的主张是基于对专业知识的主张。对危害的某些理解,即1992-1995年战争期间犯下的种族间暴力,以及为解决这一问题而制定的政策,即基于多种族生活逻辑的和解政策,基于特定行动者的所谓专业知识而获得信任。然而,对危害和旨在解决这一问题的政策的影响的认识是通过不同行为者的主观性立场产生的,因此,关于“专家”形象的假设需要得到解决。本文探讨了叙述性访谈和分析所提供的可能性,将专业知识在特定时间、特定地点产生的复杂方式展现出来。
This paper explores the possibilities provided by narrative interviewing for critically assessing claims of success regarding reconciliation policies in Brcko District, Bosnia-Herzegovina. More specifically, the paper argues that such claims of success are based on claims to expertise. Certain understandings of the harm, i.e., the inter-ethnic violence committed during the 1992-1995 war, and of the policies designed to address it, i.e., reconciliation policies based on a logic of multi-ethnic living, gain credence based on the supposed expertise of particular actors. However, knowledge of harm and of the impact of policies designed to address it is produced through the subjectivity of different actors' positionalities, and therefore assumptions about the figure of "the expert" need to be unsettled. This paper explores the possibilities offered by narrative interviewing and analysis for bringing to the fore the complicated ways in which expertise is produced in certain places at certain times.
