"Uneventment of history" was a low budget international conference on epistemology of historiography and the role and function of history in contemporary political and ideological struggles in the countries of ex-Yugoslavia and elsewhere.

The armed conflicts that begun with the dismembering of socialist Yugoslavia gave rise to many reactions and mobilizations amongst French intellectuals all through the 1990's.

Despite the diversity of viewpoints, the public expression on Yugoslav issues was monopolized by a group of "media intellectuals", composed of journalists, political essayists, moralists, the most active being philosophers belonging to the self-proclaimed or media-defined group of »New Philosophers«. At the same time, experts and specialists on Yugoslavia (historians, economists, etc) were marginalized, or sometimes even excluded from the public debate.

I will make explicit the methodological criterions of my research on the Yugoslav titoist economic reforms and the recent systemic transformations.

Those criterions deal with conflicting approaches of "scientificity" in economy – and more broadly in social sciences: they raise the question of "objective laws" versus conflicting choices both in economy and history; but also the question of autonomy versus organic links between economy, sociology, history and political sciences; and, finally, the question of the viewpoint and commitment of the researcher him/herself...

Taking an excursion from the strict domain of historiography, I will try to show how the problem of uneventment figures in another theoretical field, that of political philosophy. One of the exemplary moments here, at least in what concerns the history of socialist Yugoslavia, is Zoran Đinđić's Yugoslavia as an Unfinished State. Đinđić's analysis is, undoubtedly, a veritable sign of the times – being one of many scientific and philosophical works that were produced in response to the crisis that Yugoslavia was experiencing in the 1980s. At the same time, however, this attempt at a philosophical panacea is also a remarkable example of historical, or, as we can say with Badiou, evental revisionism.

The contribution will analyse how three prominent Slovene historians present the destruction of Yugoslav federation. Two models appear: 1. secular genesis of the Balkan nations; 2. sequence of political arrangements, each justified on its own terms. The two models can roughly be assimilated to Foucault's distinction between the (pre-modern) "Roman" (2) and the (early modern) "biblical" (1) type of historiography.
