Instructor: Dr. Vladislav Beronja Vladberonja Instructor: Dr. Vladislav Beronja [email protected] Office: BUR 464 Office Hours: Thursday 1-2p, Friday 1-3p, and by appointment Meets: MW 2:30-4p SZB 330 Course #: 43580 REES 325/ EUS 347/ WGS 345: Punks & Divas in Southeastern Europe: Popular Music and Cultural Identity in the Balkans COURSE DESCRIPTION “What kind of music do you listen to?” can be a loaded question. Based on your taste in music, others will invariably place you in a specific (sub)culture, class, lifestyle, and even speculate about your political commitments. Your taste in music can make or break a friendship, produce feelings of camaraderie as well as of repulsion. For some time now, scholars have viewed popular music as a dynamic cultural field, where various social meanings—attached to race, nationality, gender, and sexuality—are constantly being produced, contested, and negotiated among different communities of listeners. This insight into music as a crucial site of political struggle and collective identity formation will be the starting point in our analysis of popular music genres in the Balkans, a region of Europe that has undergone sweeping historical changes in the 20th and 21st centuries, including the fall of Communism and—in the case of former Yugoslavia—the formation of seven new nation-states through a series of bloody and brutal wars. We will begin the class by examining the emergence of Western pop genres, such as punk and new wave rock, in late socialism (in the 1980s), which became associated with urban youth subcultures, sophisticated irony, and liberalization of the one-party state. From there, we will move to the analysis of “turbo-folk,” a curious mixture of contemporary electronic and traditional folk music that became extremely popular in the 1990s, when the conflict in Yugoslavia was at its peak. Featuring extravagant and scandalous Balkan divas, roughly equivalent to Rihanna and Lady Gaga in the U.S., turbo-folk was (and still is) connected with nationalism, the new mafia elite, and general cultural decline. We will watch videos, examine arguments for and against turbo-folk, and try to pin down its political functions, cultural meanings, and recent transformations. We will end the class by examining new trends in Balkan popular music, such hip-hop and Balkan brass, and their relationship to recent protest movements, minority politics, and claims of cultural (in)authenticity. In addition to scholarly literature, we will make a substantial use of a class Tumblr blog, featuring music videos, song lyrics, links to other blogs, album covers and other visual and audio materials, which will allow us to fully immerse ourselves in different sounds, scenes, fashion styles, and communities we will be studying throughout this course. Learning Objectives: By examining the changes in the production and consumption of popular music in the Balkans, students will gain an understanding of larger historical shifts both in the region and on a more global scale. Additionally, students will refine their analytical and critical thinking skills by situating cultural objects in a dynamic historical and political context and by reflecting on the social effects and assumptions surrounding the consumption of popular music more generally. Our discussion of Balkan popular music will be guided by the following questions: • How does popular music shape collective identities? • What is the role of popular music in large-scale social and political transformation? • How is popular music used as a medium of political mobilization by the state and civil actors? • How do musical tastes produce, reflect, and reinforce social differences and hierarchies? • Why are claims of cultural authenticity often attached to popular music? Who makes these claims and why? • How do different music genres function in different political and cultural contexts? Grading: 10%-class participation and attendance* 10% map quiz of the Balkan countries/major historical events^ 25%-weekly discussion post (200-250 words)** 25%-take-home midterm exam (short essay format)$ 5%-outline and bibliography for digital project essay 25%-research essay (4000-5000 words) for digital multimedia project# *Regular attendance is absolutely crucial if you want to fully and dynamically engage in this seminar. Missing one meeting means missing a large chunk of the narrative about the development of Balkan popular music against the backdrop of large- scale political and social changes that we are attempting to collectively construct and critically examine in this class. More than three (3) unexcused absences will result in lowering of your total grade by 10% for each subsequent absence. Thus, if you have 4 unexcused absences 10% will be subtracted from your total grade, 20% for 5 unexcused absences etc. ^You will receive a short study guide prior to the quiz; any other information will be covered in class lectures. **During this class I will post music videos and translations of lyrics taken from the class Tumblr blog. Your grade will be based on weekly comments on the Canvas Discussion Forum (minimum 200 words in length) related to the units we’re covering in class and referring either to the class readings, the Tumblr materials, or both. $The take home exam will be in the form of four argumentative and/or analytical essay questions. It will be due on March 13, on the last class session before spring break. #The final project will take the form of a class Scalar website on different aspects of Balkan (and global) popular music or related topic. Throughout the semester, you will develop an instructor-approved research topic/question, compile a working bibliography, select the necessary audio and visual media, and use one digital humanities tool (for data visualization, network analysis, timeline etc.) to construct a public-facing webpage/research paper. While everyone will have a chance to upload their research on the Scalar website, only the 10 most polished and compelling pieces will be published in the final iteration of the website. Grading Scale: Performance will be graded according to the following percentage standards: A: 93-100% B: 83-86% C: 73-76% D: 63-66% A-: 90-92% B-: 80-82% C-: 70-72 F: 0-62% B+: 87-89 C+: 77-79 D+: 67-69 Other General Information: I understand that the pressures of student life can be overwhelming at times. I urge you to practice self-care as much as possible and to take advantage of the university resources for mental health care and physical wellbeing. If you feel overwhelmed by this class or the workload at any point, please contact me over email or approach me after class and we can try to make alternative arrangements where possible. 1) Any student with a documented disability who requires academic accommodations should contact Services for Students with Disabilities at 471-6259 (voice) or 1-866-329- 3986 (Video Phone) as soon as possible to request an official letter outlining authorized accommodations. 2) I expect all students to abide by the UT honor code. http://deanofstudents.utexas.edu/sjs/spot_honorcode.php 3) In particular, I take plagiarism VERY seriously. Plagiarism is a serious violation of academic integrity. In simplest terms, this occurs if you represent as your own work any material that was obtained from another source, regardless how or where you acquired it. 4) Please notify me in advance about absences due to religious holidays. You will not be penalized for doing so, but you will still be required to make up the missed class as outlines above. * All guns must be concealed at all times in line with the Campus Concealed Carry legislation. If an/the instructor or student(s) sees any sign of a gun in class, the UT police will be called immediately per the UT implementation policy for the statute. * For responsibilities of concealed gun permit holders on campus, see UT’s information page: https://campuscarry.utexas.edu/students * Here is UT’s general information website about campus carry: https://campuscarry.utexas.edu/ * We have excluded guns from our offices as UT implementation policy allows. The first day of class we will provide oral notification of this. If you are a licensed to carry permit holder and wish to come to my office hours, you must either store your gun in your car or at home before you come to my office as required by UT policy or you may arrange with me to use Skype during office hours.

  • The Potential of Popular Culture for the Creation of Left Populism in Serbia: the Case of the Hip-Hop Collective “The Bombs of the Nineties” Research Article
    The Potential of Popular Culture for the Creation of Left Populism in Serbia: The Case of the Hip-Hop Collective “The Bombs of the Nineties” Research Article Jovana Papović MA Candidate, EHESS-Ecole des hautes études en sciences sociales, Paris [email protected] Astrea Pejović PhD Candidate, Central European University, Budapest [email protected] http://www.suedosteuropa.uni-graz.at/cse/en/pejovic_papovic Contemporary Southeastern Europe, 2015, 3(2), 107-126 Contemporary Southeastern Europe is an online, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal that publishes original, scholarly, and policy-oriented research on issues relevant to societies in Southeastern Europe. For more information, please contact us at [email protected] or visit our website at www.contemporarysee.org The Potential of Popular Culture for the Creation of Left Populism in Serbia: The Case of the Hip-Hop Collective “The Bombs of the Nineties” Jovana Papović and Astrea Pejović The focus of this article is to highlight the potential of popular culture to become an agent of leftist populist politics in contemporary Serbia. The authors observe the hip-hop collective “The Bombs of the Nineties”, whose music tackles topics from recent history, and who subvert the fashion style of the 1990s “Dizel” subculture, which is often connected to Serbian nationalism and war profiteering. The paper analyses the relationships “The Bombs of the Nineties” create between their practices, class warfare and leftist discourses, aiming to show the potentials and threats those relationships introduce. Following Ernesto Laclau’s understanding of populism as a “hegemonic political articulation of demands”, we assume that “The Bombs of the Nineties” could represent a solid populist political agent in that they attempt to reveal and draw attention to the “unfulfilled demands” of disempowered Serbian youth.

    Article The Balkans of the Balkans: The Meaning of Autobalkanism in Regional Popular Music Marija Dumnić Vilotijević Institute of Musicology, Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia; [email protected] Received: 1 April 2020; Accepted: 1 June 2020; Published: 16 June 2020 Abstract: In this article, I discuss the use of the term “Balkan” in the regional popular music. In this context, Balkan popular music is contemporary popular folk music produced in the countries of the Balkans and intended for the Balkan markets (specifically, the people in the Western Balkans and diaspora communities). After the global success of “Balkan music” in the world music scene, this term influenced the cultures in the Balkans itself; however, interestingly, in the Balkans themselves “Balkan music” does not only refer to the musical characteristics of this genre—namely, it can also be applied music that derives from the genre of the “newly‐composed folk music”, which is well known in the Western Balkans. The most important legacy of “Balkan” world music is the discourse on Balkan stereotypes, hence this article will reveal new aspects of autobalkanism in music. This research starts from several questions: where is “the Balkans” which is mentioned in these songs actually situated; what is the meaning of the term “Balkan” used for the audience from the Balkans; and, what are musical characteristics of the genre called trepfolk? Special focus will be on the post‐ Yugoslav market in the twenty‐first century, with particular examples in Serbian language (as well as Bosnian and Croatian). Keywords: Balkan; popular folk music; trepfolk; autobalkanism 1.

  • Vrijednosne Osobenosti Sevdalinke I Turbo-Folk Muzike Kao Muzičkih Izraza DHS 1 (14) (2021), 201-222
    Kristina Prkić-Palavra, Izet Pehlić Vrijednosne osobenosti sevdalinke i turbo-folk muzike kao muzičkih izraza DHS 1 (14) (2021), 201-222 DOI 10.51558/2490-3647.2021.6.1.201 UDK 784.4:78.08 821.163.4(497.6):398.8 Primljeno: 18. 10. 2020. Pregledni rad Review paper Kristina Prkić-Palavra, Izet Pehlić VRIJEDNOSNE OSOBENOSTI SEVDALINKE I TURBO-FOLK MUZIKE KAO MUZIČKIH IZRAZA U radu se pošlo od činjenice utemeljene na uvidima u relevantne naučnoteorijske izvore da kontekstualni pristup muzici potcrtava da značenje u muzici nikad nije u potpunosti „čisto“, te se naglašavaju njezina funkcionalna vrijednost i osobenosti. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je da se kroz komparativnu analizu tekstova sevdalinki i autorskih pjesama napisanih u duhu sevdalinke te tekstova pjesama turbo-folk muzike ustanove osobenosti i razlike ovih muzičkih izraza. U istraživanju se pošlo od pretpostavke da su osobenosti sevdalinke i turbo-folk muzike kao muzičkih izraza vrlo različite. Od istraživačkih metoda u radu su korišteni metod teorijske analize i metod analize sadržaja, a istraživački korpus činilo je 8 reprezentativnih pjesama sevdalinki i autorskih pjesama nastalih po uzoru na svedalinku te 8 pjesama turbo-folk muzike, koje su analizirane za potrebe izvođenja zaključaka. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su kako sevdalinke i pjesme turbo-folk muzike promoviraju različite vrijednosti. Izveden je zaključak kako bi pozitivne vrijednosti koje promovira sevdalinka bi trebalo u većoj mjeri koristiti u odgojne svrhe. Ključne riječi: sevdalinka; turbo-folk; osobenosti; poruke; vrijednosti UVOD Danas je muzika dio životne svakodnevnice gotovo svakog čovjeka. S muzikom smo prirodno povezani, te čak i kada bismo htjeli ne bismo mogli izbjeći slušanje muzike.

  • Kafana Singers: Popular Music, Gender and Subjectivity in the Cultural Space of Socialist Yugoslavia
    Nar. umjet. 47/1, 2010, pp. 141161, A. Hofman, Kafana Singers: Popular Music, Gender Original scienti c paper Received: Dec. 31, 2009 Accepted: March 5, 2010 UDK 78.036 POP:316](497.1)"195/196"(091) 78.036 POP:39](497.1)"195/196"(091) ANA HOFMAN Department for Interdisciplinary Research in Humanities, SRC SASA, Ljubljana KAFANA SINGERS: POPULAR MUSIC, GENDER AND SUBJECTIVITY IN THE CULTURAL SPACE OF SOCIALIST YUGOSLAVIA This article explores the phenomenon of kafana singers in the light of the of cial socialist discourses on popular music and gender during the late 1950s and 1960s in the former Yugoslavia. It seeks to understand how/did the process of estradization along with the socialist gender policy in uence the shift in (self)representation of the female performers in the public realm. By focusing on the dynamic of controversial discourses on folk female singers, the article aims to show how the changes in the of cial discourse helped their profession to become an important resource of their subject actualizations, implicated in the creation of a new sense of social agency. As controversial musical personas, kafana singers personal and professional lives show nuanced interplay between socialist culture policy and its representational strategies. Key words: kafana singers, popular music, socialist culture policy, estradization, gender politics Petar Lukoviþ, a journalist, writes about the folk singer Lepa Lukiþ in his book Bolja prolost: prizori iz muziĀkog ivota Jugoslavije 19401989 [A Better Past: Scenes from Yugoslav Music Life 19401989], making the following observation: In the future feminist debates, Lepa Lukiþ will occupy a special place: before her, women in estrada were more or less objecti ed, primarily treated like disreputable persons.

  • The Balkans of the Balkans: the Meaning of Autobalkanism in Regional Popular Music
    arts Article The Balkans of the Balkans: The Meaning of Autobalkanism in Regional Popular Music Marija Dumni´cVilotijevi´c Institute of Musicology, Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia; [email protected] Received: 1 April 2020; Accepted: 1 June 2020; Published: 16 June 2020 Abstract: In this article, I discuss the use of the term “Balkan” in the regional popular music. In this context, Balkan popular music is contemporary popular folk music produced in the countries of the Balkans and intended for the Balkan markets (specifically, the people in the Western Balkans and diaspora communities). After the global success of “Balkan music” in the world music scene, this term influenced the cultures in the Balkans itself; however, interestingly, in the Balkans themselves “Balkan music” does not only refer to the musical characteristics of this genre—namely, it can also be applied music that derives from the genre of the “newly-composed folk music”, which is well known in the Western Balkans. The most important legacy of “Balkan” world music is the discourse on Balkan stereotypes, hence this article will reveal new aspects of autobalkanism in music. This research starts from several questions: where is “the Balkans” which is mentioned in these songs actually situated; what is the meaning of the term “Balkan” used for the audience from the Balkans; and, what are musical characteristics of the genre called trepfolk? Special focus will be on the post-Yugoslav market in the twenty-first century, with particular examples in Serbian language (as well as Bosnian and Croatian). Keywords: Balkan; popular folk music; trepfolk; autobalkanism 1.
