At the conclusion of the project Shared Future: Youth for Dialogic and Inclusive Remembrance, the IFDT presents the digital archive Memory through Inclusion and Dialogue (SID-ARH IFDT) and a monograph resulting from a seven-month regional research.
Between December 2025 and June 2026, the project brought together twenty-five students and young researchers from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia, Kosovo, and Serbia, including students from the Roma, Ashkali, and Egyptian communities. Participants completed the spring online school Dialogic and Inclusive Remembrance in the Digital Age, and subsequently, under the mentorship of IFDT researchers, conducted field research — recording oral histories, collecting testimonies and local narratives about the wars of the 1990s and their legacy, with a special interest in positive examples of interethnic and interreligious cooperation and insufficiently explored experiences of marginalized communities.
The digital archive SID-ARH IFDT provides access to the collected material under a protected regime, with anonymization of sensitive data and strict ethical protocols approved by the Institute’s Ethics Committee. The texts of the joint monograph continue the conversation with the same material, developing the concept of dialogic remembrance as an alternative to dominant divisions where the past is read through the framework of national rivalry.
Special attention during the presentation is given to the integration of project results into the wider thematic collection of the Praxis Archive dedicated to the memory of the wars of the 1990s, using the fund of the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights as a historical basis.
The project was supported by the British Council under the Shared Memories, Shared Future program of the UK Government (FCDO). Project coordinator is Marija Mandić, student coordinator Ivana Milićević.
On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, the library and part of the personal archive of Dragoljub Mićunović (1930–2026) were transferred to the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, where they will form his legacy. This extensive collection includes Mićunović's books, manuscripts, correspondence, and personal notes from different periods of his academic and public life.
The legacy fits naturally into the thematic framework of the Praxis Archive. Mićunović was one of the founders of the Institute, a long-term director, a member of the editorial board of the journal Praxis, and a participant in the Korčula Summer School, as well as one of the inspirations for the 1968 student protests. After his removal from the University of Belgrade in 1975, he remained part of the intellectual circle that would shape the research and public profile of the IFDT in the following decades.
The Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory of the University of Belgrade is launching the Praxis Archive — a collection of documents containing the institutional records of the Institute since its founding in 1981 and a broader thematic collection dedicated to the intellectual history of socialist Yugoslavia, with a focus on the circle of authors and networks gathered around the Praxis philosophical group.
The material was created through the work of the Institute's associates, the Praxis philosophical group, and a wider intellectual network in the Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav space. Sources for this history — from the Korčula Summer School and the Praxis journal to the personal oeuvres of its contributors — have so far been scattered, sometimes difficult to access, and rarely systematically organized. The Praxis Archive permanently organizes this legacy and makes it available to researchers.
The project leader is the Yugolab Laboratory at IFDT.
