I would like to share these two articles with the class. the first one dealing with the "reconstruction of social identities and how they can cause ethnic fear and violence" (The Social Construction of Insecurity) and the second dealing with "the resemblance of ethnic war fear with non ethnic warfare because they are waged by small vicious groups and combatants who fight and kill in the name of some larger entity." (The Banality of Ethnic War)

State of Fear in Yugoslavia. S. Drakulich, Nation; 6/17/1991, Vol. 252 Issue 23, p803, 2p, 1 illustration

Abstract: The article focuses on the state of fear in Yugoslavia amidst the Civil War. Everyday there are new image of casualties flitting by on the television screens. While the city streets are cloaked in night and silence, fear proclaims its autonomy-no matter where it comes from, or by whom and when it was sparked. It isn't just a fear of death but of the meaninglessness of organized death, death as a statistic in a long series of statistics, mass death, the lethal power struggle. But perhaps the citizens of Yugoslavia have got so used to the happenings that the fear is not apparent from their expressions.
