DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:*\nRecent sociological studies on interethnic and in
 terfaith relations and reconciliation (Kuburic et al. 2006\, Wilkes et al.
  2013) have highlighted the importance of (mis)trust\, encoded in the perc
 eptions of (in)security and of each other among dominant ethnic groups\, f
 or reconciliation attempts in Bosnia-Herzegovina\, as well as politics in 
 the region. In this talk\, I will reflect on these data with a help of som
 e philosophy (Wittgenstein\, Onora O’Neill) and discursive study of diff
 erent religious and secular narratives and perceptions of each other among
  Serbs\, Bosniaks\, Croats and ‘others’ in Bosnia. Examining chosen re
 presentations of (each) other in these discourses\, I will suggest that th
 ey manifest different kinds of trust and mistrust (non-reflective\, reflec
 tive/conscious\, fear-based\, dogmatic\, idealized\, etc.).\n\n*Bio:*\nDr 
 Gorazd Andrejč is a Junior Research Fellow at The Woolf Institute and an

 theological and philosophical perspectives of religious language\, the nat
 ure of belief\, as well as interfaith relations and disagreement\, especia
 lly in the Balkans and Central Europe. Previously\, he was an Associate Le
 cturer teaching Philosophy of Religion in the Department of Theology and R
 eligion at the University of Exeter\, where he also completed his PhD in p
