Using the theory of thanatopolitics developed by the Serbian sociologist Todor Kulji\u0107 this paper wants to explain \u0110in\u0111i\u0107\u2019s afterlife in the context of politics and cultures of remembrance in transitional Serbia.<\/p>\n<p>\u0110in\u0111i\u0107 was assassinated in 2003 during his mandate as Prime Minister. As the reactions after his violent death were showing, Zoran \u0110in\u0111i\u0107 being a dead body challenged the Serbian society and its political and intellectual elite even more than Zoran \u0110in\u0111i\u0107 had done being alive. The government declared the national state of emergency, while (at least one part of) the society was in mourning. A majority of the citizens experienced the Prime Minister\u2019s assassination as threat to the state or as a possible breakdown of the whole system. If we consider this phase as a state of \u201climinality\u201d and the rituals around it as an attempt to overcome it, the question arises if and how \u0110in\u0111i\u0107 was to be (re)incorporated in the identity concepts of the citizens in Serbia. This was mainly a question of self-perception of the elites: Their political agenda defined which role they were willing to give to \u0110in\u0111i\u0107 in the \u201ccollective memory of the nation\u201d or of the \u201ccitizens\u201d. This paper seeks to explore this by analysing funeral and other rituals, as well as discourses around \u0110in\u0111i\u0107\u2019s death as performances. Furthermore, the success of these attempts will be analysed by studying rituals on anniversaries of \u0110in\u0111i\u0107\u2019s death, of streets, boulevards and market squares named after him, and finally of books and public events dedicated to him. In the last part it will be discussed, why and how it is possible, that \u0110in\u0111i\u0107\u2019s former political opponents are commemorating his death while his former party members can\u2019t find a common language concerning the former chairman of their party, so that there are many different groups claiming \u0110in\u0111i\u0107 as their (main) figure of remembrance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.suedosteuropa.uni-graz.at\/en\/event\/2017\/assassination-zoran-%C4%91in%C4%91i%C4%87-thanatopolitics-politics-remembrance-serbia\">http:\/\/www.suedosteuropa.uni-graz.at\/en\/event\/2017\/assassination-zoran-%C4%91in%C4%91i%C4%87-thanatopolitics-politics-remembrance-serbia<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3311,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3310","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novosti"],"acf":{"facebook_opis":""},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/historiografija.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/33_0276-1.jpg?fit=1532%2C1024&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":52580,"url":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/?p=52580","url_meta":{"origin":3310,"position":0},"title":"Conference &#8220;Living in the aftermaths: Trauma, politics and survival in Yugoslavia and successor states, 1945 \u2013 present&#8221;","author":"Branimir Jankovi\u0107","date":"21. travnja 2026.","format":false,"excerpt":"The conference aims to explore how war-related psychological distress was experienced, narrated, debated and reframed in Yugoslavia in the second half of the twentieth century.
