Ubleha for idiots

  • Izgradnja međuljudskih odnosa

    Eng. Human relation building. One, and very often, the only secure result (See) of an activity (See). Includes a whole string of communication techniques from telling (dirty) jokes, through “ drunken philosophizing” on the injustice in the world to  sexual intercourse in all variations (literary and/or in a figurative sense). It is justified by the fact that there is no peace unless people “normally” intercourse. A kernel of future corruption (See). When thus-established corruption “gets on its feet”, a project (See) is initiated to combat it. Translator's note: Direct translation of the phrase „Human relations building“ into BSC language.

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.
