My research focuses on protest culture and political violence in the post-Yugoslav region.

I am interested in the inter­twining of social move­ments, culture, and the political vio­lence they cause, parti­cularly in the case of street protests since 1968. My research focu­ses on protest culture in the (post-)Yugos­lav cultural space, concen­trating on media represen­tation, elements of art and perfor­mance, and the gender dimen­sion, which are often followed by specific forms of vio­lence. The tendency for street protests to turn from peace­ful to violent raises an impor­tant research question, which I attempt to answer in the con­text of culture.
