Kids from Trate got the first information o1' punk frorn televisionand radio and by readingthe musicalnewspapers (Sropfrom Ljubljana, Diuboks from Belgradeand Bravo from Germany. etc.). However, the initiative transferof a new radicalmusic style and subculturalstance did not bring completeinformation. Like in othersimi- lar transferenceprocesses, receivers of informationdid understandmuch more than the information transferredcould provide. This surplus of meaningis, I suppose,the mysteryof musicaleffects in general.Later more on that. we have to answerthe question,why has punk rock fallen on the fertile groundin the village of Trate.To answersuch a question, we have to analysethe mechanismsof its transfer,adoption, and its de- velopnent witl-rinthe particularlife context.

It was, in fact, the first socially impoftant and genuinesubcul- tural movementin Slovenia,although some other subculturesappeared before.Punk - as both, a musicalstyle and a lifestyle- was initiatedim- mediatelyafter its appearancein England.The first punk band in Slove- nia, the group Pankrti, appearedin 1977.The majorityof previousrock bandssang in either English or Serbian-Croatianlanguage, but all the punk bandsbegan to sing in Slovenelanguage, using urban slang and lo- cal dialects.They didn't simply reproducedmusic which camefrom the GreatBritain, but activelydeveloped their own style.They didn't appeal the British audience,but sangto their fellows in particular"underground" tlo placesin Slovenia.They werethe first generationsocialised in the devel- tped media environmentand sharedmuch more in colnmon with their age mates from Western Europe thal with their parents.They simply inted to enjoy in rock music.They took it as a normalpart of theil life' But politicai situation was not ready for their claims for freedom (cf' Maledkarand Mastnak1985).

    The Memory of the Avant- Garde and the New Wave in the Contemporary Serbian Novel Marko Avramović Institute for Literature and Arts, 2 Kralja Milana St, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5878-5777 [email protected] This article is dealing with the topic of two past twentieth-century epochs in a few representative Serbian novels at the turn from the twentieth to the twenty-first century. These are the 1980s and the New Wave era in Yugoslavia, an epoch close to the past that can still be written about from the perspective of an immediate witness, and the avant-garde era, that is, the period between the two world wars marked in art by different movements of the historical avant-garde. The novels Milenijum u Beogradu (Millennium in Belgrade, 2000) by Vladimir Pištalo, Vrt u Veneciji (The Garden in Venice, 2002) by Mileta Prodanović, and Kiša i hartija (Rain and Paper, 2004) by Vladimir Tasić are being interpreted. In these novels, it is particularly noteworthy that the two aforementioned epochs are most commonly linked as part of the same creative and intellectual currents in the twentieth century. Keywords: Serbian literature / contemporary Serbian novel / literary avant-garde / New Wave / Zenitism / rock and roll / Pištalo, Vladimir / Prodanović, Mileta / Tasić, Vladimir In Vladimir Tasić’s Farewell Gift (2001), one of the key contemporary Serbian novels, the narrator at some points expresses a high apprecia- tion of the two epochs. One is personally experienced, while the other has long been placed in historical niches

MUSIC FOR THE INTERNATIONAL MASSES: AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY, THE RECORDING INDUSTRY, AND PUNK ROCK IN THE COLD WAR by MINDY CLEGG Under the Direction of ALEX SAYF CUMMINGS, PhD ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the connections between US foreign policy initiatives, the global expansion of the American recording industry, and the rise of punk in the 1970s and 1980s. The material support of the US government contributed to the globalization of the recording industry and functioned as a facet American-style consumerism. As American culture spread, so did questions about the Cold War and consumerism. As young people began to question the Cold War order they still consumed American mass culture as a way of rebelling against the establishment. But corporations complicit in the Cold War produced this mass culture. Punks embraced cultural rebellion like hippies.

    Arhai's Balkan Folktronica: Serbian Ethno Music Reimagined for British

    Ivana Medić Arhai’s Balkan Folktronica... DOI: 10.2298/MUZ1416105M UDK: 78.031.4 78.071.1:929 Бацковић Ј. Arhai’s Balkan Folktronica: Serbian Ethno Music Reimagined for British Market* Ivana Medić1 Institute of Musicology SASA (Belgrade) Abstract This article focuses on Serbian composer Jovana Backović and her band/project Arhai, founded in Belgrade in 1998. The central argument is that Arhai made a transition from being regarded a part of the Serbian ethno music scene (which flourished during the 1990s and 2000s) to becoming a part of the global world music scene, after Jovana Backović moved from her native Serbia to the United Kingdom to pursue an international career. This move did not imply a fundamental change of her musical style, but a change of cultural context and market conditions that, in turn, affected her cultural identity. Keywords Arhai, Jovana Backović, world music, ethno, Balkan Folktronica Although Serbian composer, singer and multi-instrumentalist Jovana Backović is only 34 years old, the band Arhai can already be considered her lifetime project. The Greek word ‘Arhai’ meaning ‘beginning’ or ‘ancient’ it is aptly chosen to summarise Backović’s artistic mission: rethinking tradition in contemporary context. Нer interest in traditional music was sparked by her father, himself a professional musician and performer of both traditional and popular folk music (Medić 2013). Backović founded Arhai in Belgrade in 1998, while still a pupil at music school Slavenski, and continued to perform with the band while receiving instruction in classical composition and orchestration at the Belgrade Faculty of Music. In its first, Belgrade ‘incarnation’, Arhai was a ten-piece band that developed a fusion of traditional music from the Balkans with am bient sounds and jazz-influenced improvisation, using both acoustic and electric instruments and a quartet of fe male vocalists.

Not only did people fear the loss of life and limb but the very nature of their existence came into question. While deemed the “cold” war due to the lack of a direct military conflict, battle is not all that constitutes a war. A war of ideas took place. Despite the attempt to eliminate outside influence, both East and West felt the impact of each other’s cultural movements.

    New Wave in Yugoslavia: Socio-Political Context  Udc 316.723:78(497.11)

    FACTA UNIVERSITATIS Series: Philosophy, Sociology, Psychology and History Vol. 12, No1, 2013, pp. 69 - 83 NEW WAVE IN YUGOSLAVIA: SOCIO-POLITICAL CONTEXT UDC 316.723:78(497.11) Jelena Božilović University of Niš, Faculty of Philosophy, Serbia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. This paper analyzes the social and political implications of a popular culture music trend known as New Wave in SFRY. This trend was created in Great Britain and USA by the end of the 1970's but it "moved" to our country, as well, due to its opennes to Western culture. The Yugoslav New Wave was not a sheer copy of the Western trend but it managed to create its own original music expression becoming a phenomenon of one generation. The most popular new wave bands (Prljavo kazalište, Azra, Haustor, Film, Lajbah, Šarlo akrobata, Električni orgazam, Idoli) left a significant mark on the society, generation and the whole epoch not only in the sense of the music they created but also in the social, cultural and political sense. The New Wave was an avant-gard music trend whose ideals were reflected in simple musical forms, characteristic ideological engagement, visual presentations (music album covers and posters) and particularly in their lyrics full of irony, allusions and metaphors in relation to the establishment of the time. The paper compares the Western and Yugoslav new wave and punk music with a reference to their achievements and influence which is still present in contemporary culture. Key words: New Wave, Subculture, SFRY, Socialist ideology, Urban culture INTRODUCTION The new music trend, known as New Wave, originated in Great Britain and the Unated States of America in the late 1970s.
