NEVIDLJIVI UČESNICI RATOVA 1990-IH: POGLED IZ VIZURE MILENIJALACA IZ MAĐARSKE NACIONALNE ZAJEDNICE U VOJVODINI. (Bosnian)

Although a considerable amount of research was conducted on the topic of the 1990s Yugoslav wars, the affect the war had on Vojvodinian minorities (in this case the Hungarian ethnic minority) received scant attention in the wider academic community. Millennials, born in the 1980s might be the group most adversely affected by the Yugoslav wars. They did not experience anything from the “old Yugoslavia” which was idolized by many, and which did serve as a welfare state for the generations who were born in the middle of the century. Millennials had to face the diminishment of the big country on the micro level, i.e. in their families as their fathers were receiving military conscription and anxiety was brought in and on the macro level, i.e. in the society being faced with open nationalism, alienation, and the prospect of being side-lined. The goal of this paper is to investigate the effect of the Yugoslav wars on the ethnic minority millennials childhood and adult life through their narratives about the traumatic experiences caused by the war. The analysis is based on semi-structured interviews conducted with millennials born in homogenous Hungarian marriage or in a Serbian-Hungarian intermarriage of their parents. The findings show that all the respondents, on a micro level, endured fear and anxiety because of their fathers either went to war or went to live abroad, leaving their family for many years to avoid military conscription. On a macro level, the respondents encountered nationalism-fueled incidents during their schooling or in the street that inevitably became embedded into their identities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Iako je na temu jugoslovenskih ratova 90-ih godina XX veka sprovedeno dosta istraživanja, uticaj koji je rat imao na vojvođanske manjine (u ovom slučaju, mađarsku nacionalnu manjinu) nije pridobio veliku pažnju u široj akademskoj zajednici. Milenijalci/ke rođeni/e 1980-ih možda su grupa koja je najviše pogođena jugoslovenskim ratovima. Milenijalci/ke nisu doživeli/e ništa od „stare Jugoslavije“, koju su mnogi idealizovali, i koja je važila za državu blagostanja za generacije koje su rođene sredinom veka. Oni su morali/e da se suoče sa propadanjem velike zemlje na mikro nivou, odnosno u svojim porodicama, jer su njihovi očevi služili vojni rok, dok se anksioznost osećala i na makro nivou, odnosno u društvu koje je bilo suočeno sa otvorenim nacionalizmom, otuđenošću i izgledima da njihova zajednica bude izopštena iz njega. Cilj ovog rada je da kroz narative o traumatskim iskustvima izazvanim ratom istraži uticaj jugoslovenskih ratova na detinjstvo i odrasli život milenijalaca/ki, pripadnika/ca etničkih manjina, sa posebnim osvrtom na mađarsku nacionalnu zajednicu. Analiza je zasnovana na polustrukturiranim intervjuima vođenim sa milenijalcima/kama rođenim u homogenim mađarskim brakovima ili u srpsko-mađarskim mešovitim brakovima. Rezultati pokazuju da su svi/e sagovornici/e, na mikro nivou, pretrpeli/e strah i anksioznost zbog svojih očeva koji su se javili na vojnu obavezu ili otišli da žive u inostranstvu, napuštajući svoje porodice na dugi niz godina. Na makro nivou, ispitanici/e su se tokom školovanja ili na ulici susreli/e sa incidentima podstaknutim nacionalizmom, koji su neizbežno postali sastavni deo njihovih identiteta.
