Infrastructure as Crisis and Violence – Ethnographies of Uncertainty and Worry in the Kosinj Valley (Summary)
Sanja Potkonjak
Sažetak
The paper deals with the infrastructural project of the construction of the HES Kosinj reservoir lake, which it examines as an example of developmental violence. Using insights from the ethnography of infrastructure and development, the paper aims to answer the questions of how infrastructure generated uncertainty and worry in the Kosinjska Valley community. The paper considers different types of discursive mobilization that articulate the negative social effects of infrastructural interventions. They point to the fact that development has its flip side, which is manifested in the production of social conflicts and the reproduction of asymmetric relations between the center and the periphery, the state and the local community. The work is based on ethnographic research with the community, which includes interviews, participation in protest activities and public events and gatherings in the community’s social calendar.
