the post-yugoslavian condition of institutional critique

Against the background of a more general enquiry into artistic and 
political institutional critique in the project transform, the current 
issue of the eipcp web journal transversal undertakes a specific survey 
of the territory of ex-Yugoslavia. The starting points of 
post-Yugoslavian institutional critique are based on partly shared 
experiences from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s and the neoliberal 
transformation processes of the past twenty years. Yet they also fan 
out into a multitude of breaks, discontinuities and dislocations, 
depending on the different positions in these neoliberal/neocolonial 
processes that have developed in the geographies between Croatia and 
Macedonia, Serbia and Kosovo, Bosnia and Slovenia.
