Miloš Jovanović

<p>I am a historian and urban studies scholar. My research interests include the Balkans, Ottoman and Habsburg Empires, capitalism, Marxist theory and history, and visual methods. I am interested in history as an emancipatory practice.</p> <p>My present research project, <em>Empires on the Danube</em>, examines the role of imperial histories in the making of contemporary urban space, looking at a number of cities formerly associated with the Habsburg Empire in one way or another.</p> <p>I am also completing <em>Cities of Dust and Mud</em>, a book project based on my doctoral dissertation which explores the post-Ottoman urban transformation of two Balkan capitals, Belgrade and Sofia. </p> <p>I am interested in free software as a practice of communization. Its also a neat way to fight against planned obsolescence. You can find my public repositories on my <a href="https://git.bonobot.club/loshmi">Gitea instance</a>.</p> <p>loshmi is common way to say my first name in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Šatrovački">šatrovački</a>, a form of urban slang in my mother tongue.</p>
