Abstract
The Bosnian Case: Art, History and Memory concerns the representation of historic and
traumatogenic events in art through the specific case of the war in Bosnia 1992-1995. The
research investigates an aftermath articulated through the Freudian concept of
Nachträglichkeit, rebounding on the nature of representation in the art as always in the
space of an "afterness". The ability to represent an originary traumatic scenario has been
questioned in the theoretics surrounding this concept. Through The Bosnian Case and its
art historical precedents, the research challenges this line of thinking, identifying,
including through fieldwork in Bosnia in 2016, the continuation of the war in a war of
images.
