A Transnational Triangle: Representations of the EU and Serbia in the Narratives of Bosnian Serbs Living in Graz
Abstract
As part of my research on cultural representations of the European Union and of Serbia’s
EU integration process among the Serbian diaspora in Austria, I discuss the narratives of
Bosnian Serbs living in Graz. Their “cultural knowledge” of Serbian foreign policy can,
at the same time, be analysed in light of understanding their ambivalent “neither, nor”
position. Therefore, using the concept of a “transnational way of belonging”, I argue that
their narratives regarding Serbia’s future and of the disadvantages of EU membership
for Serbia can be interpreted as transnational practices which connect them with their
country of historical origin.
