Abstract: This article ethnographically outlines how one woman politician in a town in Bosnia and Herzegovina used favours to help ‘get things done’, becoming perceived as a ‘goddess’ who ‘spent herself’ for the sake of others. The article suggests that such people managed to gather power through the paradox of keeping‐while‐giving (Weiner, . Inalienable possessions . The paradox of keeping‐while‐giving . Berkeley: California UP). People able to grant numerous favours in multiple public and private arenas kept aside the position of the person able to manage ambiguity, which was part of the new ad hoc, flexible forms of governance, exercised by both the international and the local actors in the country. Cet article décrit ethnographiquement comment une femme politique dans une ville en Bosnie‐Herzégovine a utilisé des faveurs pour « faire avancer les choses », devenant perçu comme une « déesse » qui « s'est épuisée » pour le bien des autres. L'article suggère que ces personnes parviennent à rassembler pouvoir par le paradoxe de donner tout en gardant (Weiner, . Inalienable possessions . The paradox of keeping‐while‐giving . Berkeley: California UP). Les gens en mesure d'accorder de nombreux faveurs dans de multiples domaines public et privé mettent de côté la position de la personne en mesure de gérer l'ambiguïté, ce qui fait partie de la nouvelle forme flexible de gouvernance ad hoc, exercés aussi bien dans le pays par les acteurs internationaux et locaux.

Abstract: Through an ethnographic focus on humanitarne akcije in Bosnia and Herzegovina - a local form of raising monetary donations to people who need medical treatments abroad - this paper explores humanitarianism and its understandings of life. Ethnographically tracking the course of a humanitarna akcija organised in one Bosnian town, this paper makes two related points. First, it ethnographically demonstrates that lives of the 'helpers' and 'helped' in humanitarne akcije were understood as immersed in the intense talk and gossip of the town and as exposed to the sociopolitical environment troubled in the same way. Comparing this understanding of life with the international humanitarianism, this paper suggests that the notion of 'bare life' in international humanitarian projects in emergencies may be the product of the separation of infrastructures, which enable and manage lives of the 'savers' and 'saved'. Second, those who needed help through humanitarne akcije strongly criticised the lack of organised health care and social security in Bosnia and Herzegovina that pushed them to initiate humanitarne akcije. They criticised less how other people perceived them (the terms of their sociocultural recognition) and more the shrinking public health-care insurance, unavailability of medical treatments, unequal allocation of medicines, tissues and organs, and so forth (the unjust redistribution of resources). Their dissatisfactions imply that humanitarianism as an industry of aid can be criticised for failing to intervene in the global regimes of unequal redistribution of resources in a transformative way.

Abstract: Why do people turn to personal connections to get things done? Exploring the role of favors in social welfare systems in postwar, postsocialist Bosnia and Herzegovina, this volume provides a new theoretical angle on links between ambiguity and power. It demonstrates that favors were not an instrumental tactic of survival, nor a way to reproduce oneself as a moral person. Instead, favors enabled the insertion of personal compassion into the heart of the organization of welfare. Managing Ambiguity follows how neoliberal insistence on local community, flexibility, and self-responsibility was translated into clientelist modes of relating and back, and how this fostered a specific mode of power
