DESCRIPTION:When you follow the river\, new constellations of the political
  come into view. This talk examines how rivers in Bosnia and Herzegovina b
 ecome sites where the afterlives of war\, the NATO‑brokered peace de/ind
 ustrial complex\, and global border regimes converge to produce fluvial ne
 cropolitics and new kinds of solidarities. Through three ethnographic scen
 es—military/industrial toxic dumping on the Neretva\; refugee deaths and
  solidarities along the Serbian border on the Drina\; and the lethal 2024 
 landslide on the Neretva—I show how rivers are simultaneously harmed\, w
 eaponized\, and mobilized. Methodologically\, I propose thinking from Bosn
 ia\, foregrounding a shared present that exceeds ethnic and national bound
 aries\, and pairing ethnography with autoethnography to illuminate how peo
 ple understand\, endure\, and resist the multi-scalar assaults on ecologie
 s of living.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nSaida Hodžić is an Associate Profes
