In the video interview on the Tacno.net portal, we spoke with the professor. Ph.D. Amil Buturović is a full professor of the history of religion and culture at the department of Humanities at York University in Toronto, specializing in Islamic Studies. In Sarajevo, she graduated from the Department of Oriental Studies and then earned a master's degree and a doctorate from the Institute of Islamic Studies at McGill University in Montreal. Her scientific research work covers issues of the relationship between culture and religion, mystical teachings, the culture of death, and the transmission of knowledge. Among numerous scientific studies, translations, and essays, she is the author of Carved in Stone, Etched in Memory: Death, Tombstones, and Commemoration in Bosnian Islam (Ashgate/Routledge, 2016); Stone Speaker: Medieval Tombs, Landscape, and Bosnian Identity in the Poetry of Mak Dizdar (Palgrave, 2002), a study translated into Bosnian-Croatian under the title Kameni govornik (Zagreb, 2018); then co-editor with Irvin C. Schick of the anthology Women in the Ottoman Balkans: Gender, Culture, and History (I.B. Tauris, 2008); and editor of a special issue of the Canadian literary magazine Descant entitled Bosnia and Herzegovina: Between Loss and Recovery (2013). Tacno.net talks about the culture of memory, new religious movements, about what the discovery of mass graves of indigenous children in schools run by the Catholic Church means for Canadian society.
