Drawing on long-term ethnographic research in the de facto Georgia-Abkhazia borderland, this talk examines how displaced Georgians with constructed lives across an unrecognized but highly militarized border learn to navigate a landscape in which mobility is continually subject to political, material, and documentary contingencies. Rather than approaching protracted conflict primarily through rupture, destruction, or spectacular violence, Aydemir-Kundakci focuses on everyday eventfulness: how ordinary journeys to attend a wedding, shop, visit family, or go to a hospital can unexpectedly become consequential\u2014when rising waters turn a familiar river crossing into a life-threatening swim, a document check evolves into harassment or extortion, or a passport stamp creates the risk of punishment on the other side.\n\nAydemir-Kundakci develops the concept of manageable eventfulness to describe the practical and anticipatory work through which people seek not necessarily to eliminate such contingencies altogether, but to keep their consequences within manageable limits. Following these practices across changing border regimes, landscapes, documents, and generations, she shows how people continually recalibrate their movements and anticipations as they strive for uneventful, ordinary lives amid prolonged conflict.\n\nDr. G\u00f6rkem Aydemir-Kundakci is an FWO Postdoctoral Fellow in Anthropology at KU Leuven. Her research examines long-term displacement, conflict, mobility, environmental change, and precarity in Georgia\u2019s de facto borderland with Abkhazia.\u202fShe holds a PhD in Anthropology from George Washington University and held a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Calgary. Her writing has appeared in journals such as\u202fthe Journal of Refugee Studies, History and Anthropology, and Anthropology News. Aydemir-Kundakci\u2019s research has been funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), and Research Foundation Flanders (FWO).\n\nPlease note this event will be held virtually on Zoom.

Ironic engagement assumes that Yugoslav solidarity with formerly colonized populations during the Cold War was empty rhetoric, driven by a pragmatic desire to establish the country as a significant player on the geopolitical stage. Nostalgic engagement, by contrast, is shaped by the belief that Yugoslavs were motivated by an honest ideological commitment to solidarity and anti-racism that ultimately placed them on the \u201cright side\u201d of history. Both ironic and nostalgic engagements with socialist humanitarianism evaluate the past through contemporary ideas about solidarity, socialism, capitalism, and their interrelations.\n\nTo understand socialist humanitarianism on its own terms, Brkovi\u0107 proposes reading it through the double grain of state socialism and the end of history. Such an analytical approach illuminates the role of racial socialism\u2014socialist ideologies of \u201crace\u201d and local racial projects\u2014and its interactions with global racial hierarchies, showing how these ideologies were shaped by particular value constellations.\n\nBy discussing a 1961 humanitarian initiative of the Yugoslav Red Cross that brought sixty children and young people from the Congo to Tivat, Montenegro, this talk sheds light on the workings of socialist whiteness. This was not a colourist project but rather a normative regime of political value with two key characteristics: it ascribed superiority to Yugoslavs on the basis of their greater socialist experience, and it overlooked present problems in favour of a future in which \u201crace\u201d would no longer matter.\n\n\u010carna Brkovi\u0107 is professor of cultural studies and European ethnology at the University of Mainz. Dr. Brkovi\u0107 has a PhD in Social Anthropology from the University of Manchester and a BA in Ethnology and Anthropology from the University of Belgrade. In her European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant \u201cRacial Socialism\u201d (2026-2031) as well as in her book Realigning Humanitarianism in the Balkans: From Cold War Politics to Neoliberal Ethics (Indiana University Press, 2026), she studies historical projects of integrating the world differently, such as socialist humanitarianism and Europeanization.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at CREES@umich.edu.
