  • LARSON-DISSERTATION-2020.Pdf
    THE NEW “OLD COUNTRY” THE KINGDOM OF YUGOSLAVIA AND THE CREATION OF A YUGOSLAV DIASPORA 1914-1951 BY ETHAN LARSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Maria Todorova, Chair Professor Peter Fritzsche Professor Diane Koenker Professor Ulf Brunnbauer, University of Regensburg ABSTRACT This dissertation reviews the Kingdom of Yugoslavia’s attempt to instill “Yugoslav” national consciousness in its overseas population of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, as well as resistance to that same project, collectively referred to as a “Yugoslav diaspora.” Diaspora is treated as constructed phenomenon based on a transnational network between individuals and organizations, both emigrant and otherwise. In examining Yugoslav overseas nation-building, this dissertation is interested in the mechanics of diasporic networks—what catalyzes their formation, what are the roles of international organizations, and how are they influenced by the political context in the host country. The life of Louis Adamic, who was a central figure within this emerging network, provides a framework for this monograph, which begins with his arrival in the United States in 1914 and ends with his death in 1951. Each chapter spans roughly five to ten years. Chapter One (1914-1924) deals with the initial encounter between Yugoslav diplomats and emigrants. Chapter Two (1924-1929) covers the beginnings of Yugoslav overseas nation-building. Chapter Three (1929-1934) covers Yugoslavia’s shift into a royal dictatorship and the corresponding effect on its emigration policy.

    DISCOVERY BOOK CHARACTER OF THE DESTINATION Corfu is, with its 590 km², the largest island of the Ionian archipelago. Bordered by the Adriatic and the Ionian Sea, it is both Greek and cosmopolitan. Its Greek name, Kerkyra, comes from a woman named Corcyra, with whom Poseidon was in love and with whom he decided to flee to the island, leaving her with his name. It was also in Corfu that Hercules conceived his son Hyllus before going to THE carry out his work. Over the centuries, the island has attracted sailors, merchants, artists, seduced by its beauty and its strategic location OASIS between Italy and Albania. For such is the magic of Corfu: this Mediterranean island is rich in multiple cultural influences and above all breathtaking landscapes! The capital of the island has the same name as this one. Corfu city, with its watercolours, has an air of Italy... From beige to purple, the string of ochre-coloured facades, iron balconies and churches with red roofs bear witness to four centuries of Venetian domination on the island (1386-1797). Another notable influence is that of the British domination, the most successful example of which is the Palace of Saint Michael and Saint George. You will also often see the Corfiotes playing their favourite sport, Cricket, a British heritage par excellence. THE KANONI PENINSULA owes its name to a battery of cannons abandoned by Napoleon’s troops. It was here that the first city of Corcyre was established: the inhabitants stretched out on the western slope, the sanctuaries on the eastern façade.

  • Macedonian Studies Journal 25 Vlassis Vlasidis Assistant Professor
    Macedonian Studies Journal Vlassis Vlasidis Assistant Professor, Department of Balkan, Slavic and Oriental Studies University of Macedonia, Thessaloniki The First World War has been a major event in the modern history of the Balkans because (i) it created the largest battlefront that the world had seen in the area; (ii) it broke up the Ottoman Empire; (iii) it strengthened nation states; and (iv) it created mil- lions of refugees. In addition, during that time the genocide of the Armenians took place, arguably one of the least known genocides in history. Although heavily destructive the war also created a series of significant socio- economic and infrastructure contributions in the region. The forces that took part in it (En- tente and the Central Powers) inter alia built up new road and rail network; improved the provision of health care; implemented wetland drainage projects and invented new meth- ods of production. It is in this particular context where the first organized military cemeter- ies were built in the Balkans as part of commemorating the glorious people who perished during the war. The purpose of this paper is to document the systematic British program of caring for the war’s dead, as well as of establishing permanent monumental military ceme- teries of World War I in Greece. The first burials of the soldiers of Entente forces took place in Octo- ber 1915 in Thessaloniki, in the area of Zeitinlik, a site next to the Lazaristes’ monastery, which was used as a headquarters camp and a temporary military hospital. There were provi- sional military hospitals in the area, while the catholic cemetery of Saint Vincent and Paul lied nearby as Funeral at the British section of Zeitinlik (Lembet Road) cemetery.

ARCHITECTURAL WORK OF ALEKSANDAR DEROKO – BEAUTY OF EMOTIONAL CREATIVITY A B S T R A C T This paper studies significant and forgotten, but not less important, built and unrealised designs by Serbian architect Aleksandar Deroko. It seeks to achieve a continuous view in dealing with Deroko`s architectural work versus the historical discontinuity of political, territorial-geographic and social circumstances. It is impossible to separate Deroko as an architect from Deroko as a scholar, researcher, historian of architecture and art, an academic professor, painter, artist, writer, chronicler of his time, protector, conservator and historiographer of Serbian cultural heritage. The main aim of this paper is to apply comprehensive research approach within which his work in the field of architectural design will be considered in a complementary and pluralistic way. Deroko’s architectural projects examined in their details and altogether represent distillate of Deroko’s erudite personality, which casts shadow on relevant questions of Serbian history of architecture placement: How to understand it, observe and examine it, from Yugoslav or Serbian perspective, from the position of continuity or discontinuity, through characteristics of general or particular?
