Which effects will become apparent in the future? How can we recognize, visualize and respond adequately today?\u201d (Maribor Theatre Festival 2018), we decided to structure this publication by mixing the contributions from two different lines. One line is formed by invited positions from Macedonia, Slovenia, Slovenia\/Spain, and one from Venezuela\/Spain, the other is formed by three excerpts of interviews that were conducted in Serbia and Kosovo as part of the FWF PEEK (AR 439) arts and science research project titled Genealogy of Amnesia: Rethinking the Past for a New Future of Conviviality, hosted by the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (2018\u20132020).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While the publication does not address directly the territories of Austria and Germany, the ex-Yugoslav territory nevertheless shares with them the violent history of both World Wars and the present moment of the European Union integrating the states of the Western Balkan along with its managing of the Balkan Route. Likewise, the ex-Yugoslav territory and Latin America share common conceptual legacies of the Bandung Conference (1955) and the Non-Aligned Movement (1961), which was formed at the peak of the Cold War and coincided with the process of decolonisation,<br \/>\nwhich was committed to self-determination of ex-colonies as well as to fight against imperialism, racism, apartheid, and militarisation, to name only a few. As Mbembe (2017, 1) stated, we live in a time when \u201chistory and all things flow toward us\u201d and \u201cEurope is no longer the center of gravity of the world,\u201d implying not only Europe\u2019s provincialisation (as we see it happening in the geopolitical sense today), but also the demotion, degradation of its thought.
