ISBN: 978- 0- 472- 07314- 6 To Nikola and Maria Acknowledgments I dedicate this book to my children, Nikola and Maria. Yugoslavia will be a part of their lives more than they will ever be able to know— so much for intangible heritage. I would have not been able to write this book without the commitment and support of my wife, Jasminka. Much more than the translations from the French in this book is hers. In Alienation Effects, I investigate the transformation of performance, broadly conceived, in Yugoslavia in the post– World War II period. In the period that extended from the establishment of self- management as the dominant ideological and economic model, contemporaneously with early experimental work in theater and visual arts, to the hyperinflation that spelled the end of the Yugoslav brand of labor and highly visible postmodern cultural productions, the concept of performance in Yugo- slavia spanned a broad range of activities, from labor organization to con- ceptual art. Instead of composing a historical survey, in this book I have tried to understand different historical periods by focusing on a select number of case studies, each of them requiring a different methodology. My work on the 1950s and early 1960s was based on archival research in Serbia and the United States. This painstaking labor was made easier by the assistance of friendly staff of the Archive of Yugoslavia (Arhiv Jugo- slavije), Museum of Yugoslav History (Muzej istorije Jugoslavije, espe- cially Momo Cvijović), and the Hoover Institute library at Stanford Uni- versity. I am grateful to Mary Munill from the Stanford Library office for Interlibrary Borrowing. Throughout the process, I relied on generous help of my friends from the National Library of Serbia (Narodna bib- lioteka Srbije): Svetlana Gavrilović, Sreten Ugričić, and Saša Ilić. In my research on the late 1960s and 1970s (and beyond) I employed both archi- val and ethnographic fieldwork methods. I am grateful to Slavica Vukadinović, Srđjan Veljović, and Stevan Vuković for their help in ac- cessing archival material held in Belgrade’s Student Cultural Center (Stu- dentski kulturni centar, SKC). These documents came to life through my conversations with some of the main protagonists of the conceptual art viii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS scene in Belgrade of the 1970s and 1980s, Slobodan “Era” Milivojević, Raša Todosijević, Zoran Popović, and Jasna Tijardović. I offer my thanks to them for sharing their time and memories with me, and for giving me a permission to use the photographs of their performances in this book. Big thanks to Mladen Stilinović and Branka Stipančić for their help in obtaining the images of Mladen’s works and the permission to use them. I also want to thank Dunja Blažević, Ljubica Mrkalj, Nebojša Janković, and Žarko Papić for providing me with important information about their activities on the Belgrade art scene of the 1970s, and Goran Đorđević for letting me use images of some of his works. I also want to thank Marinko Sudac, Irwin, Belgrade Student Cultural Center (SKC), and Anne Marchand for allowing me to use the images from their collections. The image on the book covers was made during the concert of Belgrade Symphony in Train Factory “Goša” in Smederevska Palanka on the occa- sion of Youth Day, on May 25 1954. I made every poossible effort to find the person who made this photograph, but to no avail. The cover was designed by Belgrade- based multimedia artist group Škart. My thanks go to Đorđe Balmazović and Dragan Protić for their flexibility and for doing great work under pressure of deadllines. I also want to acknowledge the work of a new generation of artists, theoreticians, and art historians whose critical interpretation of conceptual art in Serbia and Yugoslavia was important for my own work: Milica Tomić, Branimir Stojanović, and Jelena Vesić. My archival research and fieldwork would not have been possible without support from the Hellman Foundation and Stanford University. Just as important as financial support was the intellectual and institu- tional support of Harry Elam, under whose tenure as department chair of Stanford Drama/TAPS I started this book, and of Alice Rayner, who chaired the department when I finished. My special thanks to Peggy Phelan for her friendship, support, and guidance throughout this period, and beyond. I want to thank them and my other colleagues for providing a cordial and supportive work environment. They taught me that self- management is not only a principle of labor organization, but also a very delicate art of working together. It is an art of generosity and care, and is not limited to immediate interactions. In my labor on this book I bene- fited enormously from Amelia Jones’s comments, from Mariellen Sand- ford’s copyediting, and from the patience and understanding of my edi- tor, LeAnn Fields. Ljubiša Matić made indexing into an art form. I am indebted to him for his attentiveness to every word and letter in the book. He was the last line of defense against typos and other omissions. I am ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ix solely responsible for any mistakes, large and small, that made it into the published version of the book. My work on this book started long before I even thought of writing it. It was fueled by the unraveling of the country where I was born and raised. I received my first lessons about self- management as an egalitarian practice and its distortions as an ideological discourse from my parents, Branislava and Radoš; I articulated my first critiques of Yugoslav politics in conversa- tions with my sister Lidija. This daily exercise of critical thinking continued over the years through dialogues with my friends Perica Gunjić, Milan Rakočević, Pavle Levi, and many others. I hope that in this book captures some of the verve and passion of these shared experiences.

  • The Memory of the Avant- Garde and the New Wave in the Contemporary
    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

  • Farming As a Way of Life: Yugoslav Peasant Attitudes
    JOEL M. HALPERN Farming as a Way of Life: Yugoslav Peasant A t titudes The village and the city, the farm and the factory, the developers and the developed-these are the too frequently evoked dualities used to de- scribe some of the complex processes of change being acted out in our time.' In those countries which have experienced the major portion of their industrialization since World War 11, we cannot easily draw any firm lines separating villager from urbanite because they are both chang- ing, although not always at the same rate or in identical ways. The pre-industrial city which served as an administrative market and religious center, or a combination of these, has undergone enormous changes, but the continuity with the past has usually been more clearly This essay draws on two of my articles published earlier: "Yugoslav Peasant Society in Transition-Stability in Change," Anthropological Quarterly, XXXVI (July, 1963) and "Peasant Culture and Urbanization in Yugoslavia," Human Organization, XMV:2 (Summer, 1965). It is based on research carried out in Yugoslavia during 1961-1962 and in the summer of 1964, supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and counterpart funds from the Depart- ment of State. The present discussion includes a preliminary survey of some of the field data, a more complete analysis of which will be published later. Part of the field data was gathered by Yugoslav students, with organizational support from university authorities in Belgrade, Zagreb, Ljubljana, and Sarajevo. Vida and Theodore Tarnovsky assisted in the United States, and helpful comments on a preliminary version of the essay were received from Dimitri Shimkin and Jozo Tomasevich.

Zahvaljujem se družini, sorodnikom, prijateljem in znancem za vso podporo ob mojem študiju. Na koncu pa se zahvaljujem Katji, ki me je vedno spodbujala in na koncu pregledala nalogo. Prispevek kulturnega in civilnodružbenega segmenta k uvedbi demokracije in neodvisnosti Slovenije V svoji diplomski nalogi sem obravnaval kulturna in civilna družbena gibanja v socialistični Jugoslaviji, ki so se borila za samostojno in demokratično Slovenijo. Največ pozornosti bom posvetil posameznikom in organizacijam, ki so se borili za samostojno Slovenijo. V začetku svoje naloge bom izpostavil delovanje Jožeta Pučnika. V 70-ih letih se mu je pridružil Edvard Kocbek s svojim prelomnim intervjujem z Borisom Pahorjem leta 1975. Moja raziskovalna naloga pa bo najbolj osredotočena v 80. leta prejšnjega stoletja. Osemdeseta je odprla alternativna glasba, ki je prebudila bodočo uporno generacijo. Svoje so dodali Pankrti in ostali pankovske skupine ter Laibach. Takrat je nastal vrhunec civilno družbene sfere, ko sta vzleteli osvobojena Zveza socialistične mladine Slovenije in Odbor za varstvo človekovih pravic, ki velja za največjo civilno družbeno organizacijo v Sloveniji, ki je zadala odločilni in končni udarec takratni vladajoči oblasti, ko se je zavzemala za osvoboditev zapornikov Janeza Janše, Ivana Borštnerja, David Tasić in Francija Zavrla.

  • Serbia in 2001 Under the Spotlight
    1 Human Rights in Transition – Serbia 2001 Introduction The situation of human rights in Serbia was largely influenced by the foregoing circumstances. Although the severe repression characteristic especially of the last two years of Milosevic’s rule was gone, there were no conditions in place for dealing with the problems accumulated during the previous decade. All the mechanisms necessary to ensure the exercise of human rights - from the judiciary to the police, remained unchanged. However, the major concern of citizens is the mere existential survival and personal security. Furthermore, the general atmosphere in the society was just as xenophobic and intolerant as before. The identity crisis of the Serb people and of all minorities living in Serbia continued. If anything, it deepened and the relationship between the state and its citizens became seriously jeopardized by the problem of Serbia’s undefined borders. The crisis was manifest with regard to certain minorities such as Vlachs who were believed to have been successfully assimilated. This false belief was partly due to the fact that neighbouring Romania had been in a far worse situation than Yugoslavia during the past fifty years. In considerably changed situation in Romania and Serbia Vlachs are now undergoing the process of self identification though still unclear whether they would choose to call themselves Vlachs or Romanians-Vlachs. Considering that the international factor has become the main generator of change in Serbia, the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia believes that an accurate picture of the situation in Serbia is absolutely necessary. It is essential to establish the differences between Belgrade and the rest of Serbia, taking into account its internal diversities.

Initially inspired by the romantic and dramatic Yugoslav resistance to Axis occupation during World War II, this interest has since 1948 been focused on a remarkable and still unfinished voyage of exploration, otherwise known as 'the Yugoslav road to socialism*, which is the subject of this book. The proclaimed destination may not exist on any of the headings which have been tried; the vessel or its navigators may ultimately prove inadequate to the enterprise; or the landfall, if one is ever made, may prove to be only a small, rather ordinary and sadly familiar island still half a world away from the shores of Communist Cathay.

  • Sodobna Slovenska Književnost
    Sodobna slovenska književnost 1.) oznaka obdobja To je književnost, ki pripada našemu sedanjemu času. Glavna značilnost te književnosti je, da svoje motive, teme in ideje povezuje z najpomembnejšimi družbenimi, narodnimi in kulturnimi vprašanji časa v katerem nastaja. Izraz se uporablja kot splošno ime za književnost, ki pipada našemu sedanjemu času, pri čemer je obseg tega časa seveda raztegljiv. Sodobna slovenska književnost se začne po letu 1950. 2.) razvoj Za sodobno slovensko književnost je značilno mešanje različnih smeri, glede na te pa ločimo več faz: - prvo obdobje: 1945-1950 poskus socialnega realizma V tem času se je pojavila zahteva po nastanku socialnega realizma, vendar z okrepljeno socialistično idejo. Zahteva po socialnističnem realizmu je ostala predvsem načelo, samo književnost jo je upoševala le deloma. Jezik in slog sta realistična - drugo obdobje: po letu 1950 intimizem STAREJŠI AVTORJI so izhajali iz socialnega realizma, vendar so že uvajali nekatere spremembe. Predvem pa se je v ozadju premaknila borbena socialna perspektiva, v ospredje pa je stopilo sočustvovanje z malim človekom. Starejši predstavniki: Matej Bor, Ivan Potrč, Ciril Kosmač, Igor Torkar, Mira Mihelič MLAJŠI ROD, ki je nastopil okoli leta 1950, se je še bolj odmakil od socialnega realizma. Avtorji so se usmerili k malemu mestnemu človeku, človeka so začeli razlagati bolj psihološko. Spremembe so uvedli tudi v obliko. Tradicionalno poezijo, pripovedništvo in dramatiko so zamenjale modernejše forme, prosti verz, moderni roman, ekspresionistično dramaurgijo. Mlajši predstavniki: Ivan Miratti, Janez Menart, Tone Pavček, Lojze Krakar, Kajeton Kovič, Beno Zupančič Pavle Zidar. V pedesetih letih se pojavijo tudi druge smeri, ki so nastale že pred vojno. Sem sodi obnovljen ekspresionizm(Adrej Hieng) - tretje obdobje: okoli leta 1960 a.) književnost odtujenosti: Uveljavljajo se avtorji, katerih odnos do sveta je oblikovala vojna.

  • When the Margin Cries: Surrealism in Yugoslavia
    Sanja Bahun-Radunovic When the Margin Cries: Surrealism in Yugoslavia HE CURRENT GEOPOLITICAL REDEFINING of the notions of the center and the margin accelerated rediscovery of “minor” Tcultures. The study of their import and influences, however, remains largely focused upon the post-Second World War period. Yet, it was precisely modernist apprehensiveness of fixed structures that initiated a subversion of these geo-cultural categories. Nowhere was the urge to restructure geopolitical hierarchies felt more powerfully than in the avant-garde.

We have discovered many loci of the “centripetal” surrealist forces and the literature on, for instance, Brazilian, German, or even Egyptian surrealism abounds.
