Ubleha for idiots

  • Language of ubleha

    In a national sense, that is the English language (See). In a metaphysical sense, it is Heidegger explained to children in such a way that now even the adults cannot understand it at all and children are not interested in it anyway. In a political sense, Macchiavelli is generally thought to be the originator. Technically, it is based upon Bach’s  Die Kunst der Fuge, where a single topic varies until it becomes almost unrecognizable. It is a simplified structuralistic performance where the key tools are template, cut, paste. This guide you are reading at the moment is considered to be the best encyclopaedic introduction into the secrets of the language of ubleha.

from Ubleha for Idiots – An Absolutely non useful Guide for Civil Society Building and Project management for Locals and Internationals in BiH and Beyond by Nebojša Šavija-Valha and Ranko Milanovic-Blank, ALBUM No. 20, 2004, Sarajevo, translated by Marina Vasilj.
