Overview

Exploration reveals ontological security influences identity-seeking in Serbia's desires for Kosovo, suggesting emotional motivations impact political actions.

Key Points

  • The rearticulation of desire shapes Serbia's identity related to Kosovo, influencing emotional security.
  • Successful metaphoric articulations of Kosovo reflect desires, while recent metonymic attempts show growing anxiety regarding identity.
  • The analysis employs Lacanian psychoanalysis to understand the emotional mechanisms behind identity-seeking behavior.
  • Understanding Serbia's attachment could highlight broader implications for identity politics in international relations.
