Did Nikola Tesla truly sit there as lightning exploded around him? My new Substack looks at the trick behind the photo, the self-fashioning of scientists, and where Tesla really was in his life when he posed as a “wizard” of electricity. open.substack.com/pub/milosvoj...

They need to add a haček, but other than that, I quite like our cover.

Nothing says how it is to be a scholar like a €30 paywall on an article about how hard it is to be an early-career scholar. The abstract is free, the irony is extra.

Wonderful set of reflections from Miloš Vojinović (@infinite-milos.bsky.social), in part on one of my great mentors in François Hartog; #skystorians: milosvojinovic.substack.com/p/46-the-202...

I grew up on a street named after them, so here are a few lines about who they were and the connection between politics and memory. milosvojinovic.substack.com/p/44-the-dra...

Stunning artwork in the turbine room of the Djerdap Hydroelectric Dam. The sculpture "Power of Danube" was made by Frano Delale. Cold War dams as a point where modernisation, state power, and technocracy met, from Assuan to Djerdap, and from China to Brazil...

Fantastic, just a model of the best sort of intellectual and cultural history and highly recommended to all #skystorians: Miloš Vojinović, "The Global Echoes of the Siege of Belgrade in 1688" (@infinite-milos.bsky.social). milosvojinovic.substack.com/p/42-the-glo...

My dear friend and colleague Miloš Vojinović ( @infinite-milos.bsky.social) wrote an *extremely* smart piece about Serbian history today that's well worth the time and attention of #skystorians everywhere: milosvojinovic.substack.com/p/41-the-gen...

Utterly fascinating document from the Département fédéral des affaires étrangères DFAE; h/t @infinite-milos.bsky.social. This is a reading list for aspiring diplomats that would utterly shame most historians of Europe, Anglophone or otherwise. #skystorians Cf. www.eda.admin.ch/eda/fr/dfae/...

I wrote a piece on the current protests in Serbia, viewed through a generational lens. milosvojinovic.substack.com/p/41-the-gen...
