Jugoslavija, sve se oko tebe ispravlja i savija” (“All Yugoslavia is dancing rock and roll, everything around you is straightening and bending”)1 The point of the departure for this study is Eric Hobsbawm’s dictum that nationhood and nationalism, although constructed from above, cannot be understood unless also analysed from below – i.e. “in terms of the assumptions, hopes, needs, longings and interests of ordinary people, which are not necessarily national and still less nationalist.”2 Drawing on this dictum, the present thesis examines the sense of community in Yugoslav society through the analysis of Yugoslav rock music culture. My focus is on the Yugoslav-ness of this culture – a culture commonly referred to as Yu-Rock or Yugo-rock – in the specific socio-politico-economic situation of 1980s Yugoslavia. My argument is that the Yugoslavness of Yu-Rock was inextricably connected to a larger, over-arching, web of knowledge and ideas to which it related, most importantly those concerning different conceptions of Yugoslavism as an “imagined community.” The point here is that the sense of Yugoslavness should not be reduced to any particular form of Yugoslavism, because Yugoslavism meant different things for different people. Thus, the concept of “Yugoslavness” that I operate with in the thesis is influenced by the work of anthropologist Stef Jansen, who argues that Yugoslavness was not always openly “Yugoslavist,” but rather more about open interethnic boundaries and thereby most often assuming a pronouncedly tolerant, antinationalist and cosmopolitan character.3 In this regard, I want to underline that the existing research on rock music in the former Yugoslav lands has recognised the antinationalist character of Yu-Rock and has stressed its role as 1 Elektični orgazam, ”Igra rokenrol cela Jugoslavija” Letim, sanjam, dišem (Belgrade: PGP RTB, 1988). This is a direct translation from Serbo-Croatian, which corresponds to the English phrase “twist and turn.” 2 Eric J. Hobsbawm, Nations and Nationalism since 1780 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1990), p. 10. 3 Stef Jansen, “Cosmopolitan openings and closures in the post-Yugoslav antinationalism” in Cosmopolitanism in Practice, eds by Magdalena Nowicka, Maria Rovisco (Farnham, England / Burlington, VT : Ashgate Pub, 2009), p. 80. 4 an alternative to nationalism of the 1980s. Nevertheless, the existing research has dealt with the issues concerning Yugoslavness of the 1980s Yu-Rock only in passing, either peripherally or from the perspective of the dissolution of the common Yu-Rock scene in the 1990s. Thus, very few of the central questions concerning its agency, origin and causality in the 1980s have been asked. This study is an inquiry into this issue – the issue concerning questions of agency, origin and causality of Yugoslavness in 1980s Yu-Rock. This is not an easy task. Yugoslav history is a complicated subject – not least because, as Metthew McCullock puts it, Yugoslav identity is contradictory, located at the crossroads of “nowhere” and “everywhere.”4 This means that locating Yugoslavness can easily ends up by being arbitrary, defined either too rigidly or too loosely that

  • Actors and Circulations of Site Memorialisation Practice Between the Latin American Southern Cone and Central and Eastern Europe
    Global Society, 2019 Vol. 33, No. 3, 382–399, https://doi.org/10.1080/13600826.2019.1598946 Entangled Islands of Memory: Actors and Circulations of Site Memorialisation Practice Between the Latin American Southern Cone and Central and Eastern Europe GRUIA BADESCU The (re)claiming and memorialisation of sites associated with political violence occurred in the aftermath of dictatorships in both Europe and Latin America. This article examines the circulation of such practices of memorialising sites, including memorial architectural design and museographic approaches within and between the regions of the Southern Cone of Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe. It explores the ways in which various actors circulate memorial architectural practice between so-called peripheries. It analyses circulations at the regional levels and then focuses on the analysis of two on-going memorialisation debates in Croatia and Chile that show fissures to regional memorialisation regimes. The article shows how transnational circulations are not only based on structures of professional networks and global memory and memorial architec- ture regimes, but often proceed from encounters, individual agencies and trajectories and are complicated by the multidirectionality of memories I. Introduction: Memorialising Sites of Political Violence Thousands of miles apart lie two rocky outposts off the European and American mainlands, Goli Otok, the barren island, untouched by the tourist buzz of other islands on the Croatian coast, and Isla Dawson, in the cold extremity of South America, a military precinct that cannot be visited. Since 2014, both have been the subject of heated debates in their local contexts, as an array of actors discussed plans for the memorialisation of the political violence that took place there decades before.

The cinema, that “dream factory” takes over and employs countless mythical motifs – the fight between hero and monster, initiatory combats and ordeals, paradigmatic figures and images (the maiden, the hero, the paradisiacal landscape, hell and do on). Even reading includes a mythological function, only because it replaces the recitation of myths in archaic societies and the oral literature that still lives in the rural communities of Europe, but particularly because, through reading, the modern man succeeds in obtaining an ‘escape from time’ comparable to the ‘emergence from time’ effected by myths.

    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.

  • For the Homeland: Transnational Diasporic Nationalism and the Eurovision Song Contest
    FOR THE HOMELAND: TRANSNATIONAL DIASPORIC NATIONALISM AND THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST SLAVIŠA MIJATOVIĆ A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN GEOGRAPHY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, CANADA December 2014 © Slaviša Mijatović, 2014 Abstract This project examines the extent to which the Eurovision Song Contest can effectively perpetuate discourses of national identity and belonging for diasporic communities. This is done through a detailed performance analysis of former Yugoslav countries’ participations in the contest, along with in-depth interviews with diasporic people from the former Yugoslavia in Malmö, Sweden. The analysis of national symbolism in the performances shows how national representations can be useful for the promotion of the state in a reputational sense, while engaging a short-term sense of national pride and nationalism for the audiences. More importantly, the interviews with the former Yugoslav diaspora affirm Eurovision’s capacity for the long-term promotion of the ‘idea of Europe’ and European diversities as an asset, in spite of the history of conflict within the Yugoslav communities. This makes the contest especially relevant in a time of rising right-wing ideologies based on nationalism, xenophobia and racism. Key words: diaspora, former Yugoslavia, Eurovision Song Contest, music, nationalism, Sweden, transnationalism ii Acknowledgements Any project is fundamentally a piece of team work and my project has been no different. I would like to thank a number of people and organisations for their faith in me and the support they have given me: William Jenkins, my supervisor. For his guidance and support over the past two years, and pushing me to follow my desired research and never settling for less.

    Digitized by the Internet Arciiive in 2008 witii funding from IVIicrosoft Corporation Iittp://www.archive.org/details/birthofyugoslavi01baeruoft THE BIRTH OF YUGOSLAVIA >-v-..v THE BIRTH OF YUGOSLAVIA BY HENRY BAERLEIN VOLUME I LONDON LEONARD PARSONS DEVONSHIRE STREET First Published ig22 {All Rights Reserved] PRINTS \ 3U Leonard Parsons Ltd, Portions of this book which deal with Yugoslav- Albanian affairs have appeared in the Fortnightly Review and, expanded from there, in a volume entitled A Diffiadt Frontier, NAMES AND PRONUNCIATION The original Serbo-Croat names of the Dalmatian towns and islands have been commonly supplanted on the German-made maps by later Italian names. But as the older ones are those which are at present used in daily speech by the vast majority of the inhabitants, we shall not be accused of pedanticism or of political bias if we prefer them to the later versions. We therefore in this book do not speak of Fiume but of Rieka, not of Cattaro but of Kotor, and so forth. In other parts a greater laxity is permissible, since no false impression is conveyed by using the non-Slav version. Thus we have preferred the more habitual Belgrade to the more correct Beograd, and the Italian Scutari to the Albanian Shqodra. The Yugoslavs themselves are too deferential towards the foreign nomenclature of their towns. Thus if one of them is talking to you of Novi Sad he will almost in- variably add, until it grows rather wearisome, the German and the Magyar forms : Neu Satz and Uj Videk. These names and those of persons have been generally spelt in accordance with Croat orthography—that is to say, with the Latin alphabet modified in order to re- produce all the sounds of the Serbo-Croatian language.
