Dear readers,

Before you lies the eleventh issue of our magazine Illuminatio/Svjetionik/Almanar, an edition enriched by a broad spectrum of academic and scholarly contributions that illuminate the artistic, scientific, and social reflections of Bosnian society — both in the turbulence of war and in the fragile reconfigurations of peace.

It is about evil, which takes on an aestheticized form out of sheer fascination to escape boredom. "That "fascination" is particularly related to the fact that evil today is more of an aesthetic object than a moral one. Evil is presented as something else and as such should function as a counterbalance to boring everyday life".
