Reviews

The horror of war and its enduring legacy of pain, trauma, and antagonism are powerfully conveyed in this important book. Kosatica employs discourse analysis and sociolinguistic research tools to reveal the processes at work in a range of traumascapes. Through understanding how evil is perpetuated, we have a chance of challenging it. -- John Macalister, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand This sophisticated book is both an important and a difficult read. Tracing the fragile paths through graffiti, memorialisation, user-generated comments on-line, and sensitively conducted interviews, Kosatica forensically analyses the discourses of remembering in post-war Bosnia-Herzegovina, persuasively attending to all that this unfinished conflict can contribute to trauma studies and the wider field of semiosis in place. -- Robert Blackwood, University of Liverpool, UK
