山外的世界更精彩

众多的学子们海外深造都是为了更好的发展，但并不是每一个人都能如愿。学成后回国，都期望有更好的前途，但要经历时间和机会的考验，而放弃国外优越的环境和生活，却缘自广大华夏子孙剪不断的中国情。用自己的所学丰富，让自己的祖国建设，也许是这些精英们共同的愿望。

The Turkish Connection: Neo-Ottoman Influence in Post-Dayton Bosnia

Bosnia has been defined by its perpetual state of transition—politically, culturally, and socially—since it seceded from Yugoslavia in 1992. The country's Balkan geography renders it both East and West, and its cultural affinities straddle the two poles as well. Hence, the country is in perpetual liminality, tugged by the influences of both Western and Eastern nations and organizations. This has particularly been true for the Bosniak population, a group that has received support from various Muslim-majority nations and organizations. Prominent among those influences is Turkey, which resonates with Bosniaks because their history and identity are intertwined with the Turkish Ottoman past. The emergence of Neo-Ottomanism links Bosnia to Turkey's past and future; this phenomenon is paving the way for a Bosnia that is increasingly being defined by its slight Muslim-majority population and culture. In “The Turkish Connection: Neo-Ottoman Influence in Post-Dayton Bosnia,” I situate contemporary Bosnian cultural products, including film and literature, as responses or interactions with Neo-Ottoman modes that seek to (re)imagine the Balkans and specifically Bosnia, through the lens of the “golden age” of sixteenth-century Ottoman Empire.
