Abstract
In June 2013, a breakdown in the routine functioning of state bureaucracy
sparked the largest and up to that point most significant wave of protests
in postwar Bosnia-Herzegovina, named the Bosnian Babylution. The protest centered
on the plight of newborn babies who, because of this particular administrative
problem, could no longer be issued key documents, even to travel outside the
country for life-saving medical care. These events exposed the profound nature of
the representational crisis gripping this postwar, postsocialist, and postintervention
state that has emerged at the intersection of ethnic hyper-representation and
the lived experience of the collapse of biopolitical care. Yet, as this analysis shows,
this crisis has also helped unleash new forms of political desire for revolutionary
rupture and reconstitution of the postwar political.
