Stewart, Supervisor ____________________________________ Pauline T. Strong, Co-Supervisor ____________________________________ Elizabeth L. Keating ____________________________________ Kamran A. Ali ____________________________________ Mary Neuburger ____________________________________ John Downing BOSNIAK SENTIMENTS: The Poetic and Mundane Life of Impossible Longings by Halide Velioglu, B.A., M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2011 Dedication For My Mother and My Aunt Acknowledgements “Bosniak Sentiments” is the culmination of my strong attachments to the motherland. I am thankful to all my beloveds on and around these pages who shared coffee and conversations (and cigarettes) throughout this work with me. My special and hearty gratitude goes to the Sprzo family that made this work possible by all means. Thank you also to the Melic and Kurtovic families, and Stanic sisters for sharing their mundane lives generously with me. I will always be indebted to Teta Seka’s friendship and care as well as Lejla and Zora (in memoriam) for being the best konas I could ever imagine. Thanks to the Department of Anthropology, the Graduate School, Rhonda Andrews (in memoriam), Elizabeth (in memoriam) and Robert Fernea, and Sharmila Rudrappa for the financial support in the form of teaching and research assistantships and fellowships. Nukhet Sirman was the initial motive for me to pursue a graduate degree in Anthropology like many other Social Science students from Bogazici University, Istanbul. In 2000, I came to Austin to work with Begonia Aretxaga whose untimely passing is still an irrecoverable loss. Her luminous scholarship and the beautiful memory of her warm persona are always with me. Kathleen Stewart is the major inspiration and courage behind this work. Her kind mentorship will always give me a sense of privilege while her pioneering work will be a source of humility. Pauline Strong’s sustained effort to remind me of the responsibility towards the forerunners of our discipline is one of the most precious gains of writing within the confines of academia; I will always be grateful v for her kind advisorship. Elizabeth Keating’s generous engagement at every stage of the work within the best tradition of academic culture is one of the outstanding experiences of this process; I feel lucky and indebted. And, Kamran Ali’s friendly guidance was very crucial in terms of reminding me of the significance of broader issues and the question of the future in my work; I am grateful. My gratitude extends to John Downing and Mary Neuburger, whose valuable readership punctuated the significant features of the future agenda of this work. I also thank Kamala Visweswaran and my colleagues in the 2008-09 dissertation writing group for their generous comments. Can Aciksoz, Zeynep Korkman, Siyar Ozsoy, and Ruken Sengul’s friendships were my home in Austin, whereas Nikola Rajic’s brotherhood was a grace-land where we cultivated and mourned Yugoslav sensibilities; I am indebted. I will always keep Zehra Cunillera, Yasar Dicle Erkenci, Nazli Okten, and Ruken Sengul’s precious readership and belief in me as a talisman on my heart. I am also indebted to Zeynep Gursel, Mathangi Krishnamurthy, Diya Mehra, Neery Melkonian, Vivian Newdick, Jason Pine, Jacqueline Polvora, Mubbashir Rizvi, Sharmila Rudrappa, Apen Ruiz, Gulnur Savran, and Heather Teague for their invaluable intellectual and emotional support. Friendships with Funda Odemis, Ferah Aydin, Nilufer Kaptanoglu, and Aysen Ozkan have been a tremendous source of energy and enrichment at all times; whereas the warm company of Reyyan Bal, Mustafa Bal, and Andrea Peres in Sarajevo were of the most precious gifts of the city; I am grateful to all. My hearty gratitude goes to my family, Yasemin and Bedrettin Ozcelik, Dicle and vi Derya Erkenci whose kindness and patience were vital through the entire work. Finally, I am indebted to the beautiful memory of my father, Mehmet Velioglu whose belief in me provided me with the strength when I needed it most; and, grateful to the sweet memory of my congenial companion, Ozlem Okur, who kept me with the warmest company during long hours of writing. She was the fairy. vii BOSNIAK SENTIMENTS: The Poetic and Mundane Life of Impossible Longings Halide Velioglu, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Austin, 2010 Supervisors: Kathleen C. Stewart and Pauline T. Strong This ethnographic work is about the aesthetic, habitual, and sentimental registers of some Bosnian Muslims’ (Bosniaks) daily lives in post-war Sarajevo. It addresses the ages-old themes of Bosnians’ multiple belongings and the question of political subjectivity through lived experience with a particular focus on the contemporary urgency to generate Bosniak national and religious subjectivity. It attends to the affective surplus of mundane scenes that convey the disconcerting drama of conversion to Islam, the nervous accumulation of new Islamic sensibilities, the vibrant ethos of Yugoslavism, the politically vulnerable but habitually engrained identity of Bosniannes, shared memories of the recent war, and the sustenance of the material and sentimental textures of domestic and communal life. Attending to the eventful character of the daily life enables the work to detail and test the existing frames of understanding Bosniaks (such as Nationalization and Islamization) and to further explore the potentialities of lived experience that escape existing regimes of representation. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction..........................................................................................................................1 SECTION I: SERB EPIC POETRY AND BOSNIAK SENTIMENTS............................18 Chapter 1: Prelude: Kosovka Devojka (The Kosovo Girl) and some Sarajevan Girls’ 1989 Get-together in Istanbul.....................................18 Kosovo Girl............................................................................................................24 The Battle of Kosovo, Serb Epic Poetry, and Myths.............................................28 Back to Kosovo Girl and Summer 1989 Reunion in Istanbul................................44 Chapter 2: We Accept: Epic, Decadence, and Laughter....................................................61 She, My Aunt.........................................................................................................61 And Some Other Bosniaks.....................................................................................63 The Battle of Kosovo, the Film ..............................................................................70 Torso ......................................................................................................................73 Epic for fun ............................................................................................................74 The Battle of Kosovo..............................................................................................76 Proverbial Use of the Epic, Fallen Members of the Family, and Guilt .................92 How to Remember and Forget Almasa and Zijneta.............................................103 Chapter 3: Who is that Speaking?: Microhistory of the Utterance.................................115 She, the Animator.................................................................................................116 Mazuranic, Cengic, and the bards’ voices, the Author ........................................130 She, the Figure.....................................................................................................131 Interpretive Frameworks of the Participants—Mothers and Daughters ..............136 The Cumbersome Question of Origins ................................................................140 ix SECTION II: EVERYDAY LIFE STORIES ..................................................................144 Chapter 4: Watching, Singing, and Smoking...................................................................147 Watching Interrupted...........................................................................................152 Bogami ja komunista!: Ado and the Pioneers......................................................160 Islamization of Bosnia and Singing Ilahije..........................................................165 Chapter 5: Finding a Repairman in Sarajevo: The Mundane Life of Taking Care of Things and the Community in Post-war Bosnia.........................171 Chapter 6: Golubar, Tetak (Pigeon-man, the Uncle): Neglected Registers of Belonging ......................................................................186 Chapter 7: The Ticklish Imperial Aura and Cumbersome Summertime Travels ............198 Imperial aura........................................................................................................206 Cumbersome Summertime Travels......................................................................214 Chapter 8: Countryside Scenes and Numbers about Bosnia............................................218 Chapter 9: On the Radio: Accented Sounds of Displacement, Longing,

Mojim roditeljima, koji su me uvek podržavali, podsticali i verovali u mene . FUNKCIONALNA ULOGA MUZIKE I MUZI ČKE PRODUKCIJE U O ČUVANJU NACIONALNE KULTURE REZIME Predmet rada i istraživanja koje je u osnovi ove doktorske disertacije temelji se u kontekstualnom sagledavanju uloge muzike u očuvanju i promociji nacionalne kulture, a kroz povezivanje delatnosti i delovanja javnog medijskog servisa – RTS i njegove Muzi čke produkcije kao organizaciono-produkcione jedinice kojoj je primarno poveren zadatak sa navedenom misijom. Obzirom da je predmet rada je kompleksan, diskurs prou čavanja je fokusiran na programe Radio Beograda - Prvi program, Drugi program, Tre ći program, Beograd 202 i muzi čki program Stereorama, kao i na Zvu čni arhiv. U obradi ovako definisanog predmeta rada, koriš ćeno je nekoliko teorijskih diskursa, po čev od teorija javnog servisa, kojima se definišu specifi čnosti modela medijskih ustanova kojima je poverena uloga da budu promoteri i zaštitnici interesa javnosti; potom teorije nacije i nacionalnog identiteta, ali i sociološko-kulturološke teorije, koje ukazuju na potrebu kulturološkog definisanja nacionalne kulture. Okosnicu rada činila je pretpostavka, koja je velikim delom i kvalitetno potvr đena, da su muzi čki sadržaji koji su producirani u okvirima Muzi čke produkcije RTS, i koja se plasira kroz programe javnog servisa, jedno od najzna čajnijih programskih sredstava putem koga se reprezentuje nacionalna kultura. Pomenuto implicira da izborom i realizacijom, snimanjem, prenosima i arhiviranjem muzi čkih sadržaja, osnivanjem i razvojem umetni čkih ansambala, javni radiodifuzni servis ostvaruje svoju osnovnu funkciju i opravdava zadatke koje su mu povereni od strane javnosti i društva.

TOLSTAJA (Moscow) BELGRADE 2013 Marija Bradaš DOI: 10.2298/BALC1344139B Original scholarly work University of Padua The Return of Epic Formulas in Various Italian Translations of Kosovka djevojka (The Kosovo Maiden) Abstract: This paper makes a comparative analysis of the various Italian translations of the famous Serbian popular poem Kosovka djevojka [The Kosovo Maiden] and illustrates the different interpretations and consequent translations of epic formulas in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Italy. The Parry-Lord oral formulaic theory, together with other important contributions in the field of oral studies, is a starting point for this analysis, which also takes into consideration the socio-cultural con- text in which these translations were produced. Translation solutions are therefore brought into relation with the poetics of individual translators and especially with the socio-cultural context of their time. Particular attention is devoted to the centuries- old Italian rhetorical tradition, which influenced even the greatest experts in popular poetry in their interpretation of the figures and clichés typical of oral production. Keywords: Kosovka djevojka, translation, formulaic diction, Tommaseo, Nikolić, Cronia n the study presented here, we will try to find correlations between three different Italian translations of the Serbian epic poem Kosovka djevojka (VukI II, 51) and the socio-cultural context in which they appeared by devot- ing particular attention to the way in which the original epic formulas were conveyed.

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.

  • Dr Danilo Radojević: O POJAVI LIKA MILOŠA OBILIĆA KAO MITSKOG
    Dr Danilo Radojevi ć: O POJAVI LIKA MILOŠA OBILI ĆA KAO MITSKOG JUNAKA U SVIJESTI CRNOGORACA U duhovnoj prošlosti crnogorskog naroda, pored prihvatanja opštehriš ćanskih svetaca, nastajalo je i više doma ćih mitskih, kultnih i svjetovnih veli čina koje su ostavile zna čajan trag u kulturnoj i politi čkoj istoriji, a održavanje sje ćanja na njih predstavljalo je oblik kontinuiteta istorijske svijesti o sebi. Svakako je najstariji mit o caru Dukljanu 1 koji poti če iz vremena širenja hriš ćanstva u rimskoj provinciji Praevalis, a o kome je sa čuvano četrnaest legenda i jedna pjesma u epskom desetercu. Zatijem se javljaju kultovi kneza Vladimira (? - 4. VI 1016), 2 Ivana Crnojevi ća, 3 svete Ozane, 4 sv. Vasilija Ostroškog, sv. Petra Cetinjskog, te više istaknutijeh junaka (Baja Pivljanina, Vuka Manduši ća i dr). Svijest o dugoj tradiciji državne samostalnosti nije mogla da iš čezne ni u periodima najsnažnijeg turskog pritiska. Tome su, u velikom stepenu, doprinosili i autonomni gradovi na Crnogorskom Primorju, u sklopu Mleta čke Republike. Odmah pošto je preuzeo vlast u Crnoj Gori, Stefan Crnojevi ć, turski vazal, slijede ustanci (1504, 1505, 1510, 1513, 1517-1521) koji su imali narodno-politi čki karakter, odbijano je pla ćanje hara ča i tražen autonomni status. Prisiljene tijem ustancima, turske vlasti su, ve ć po četkom 30-tih godina XVI stolje ća, morale ukinuti rajinski status jednom dijelu crnogorskog stanovništva. Svijest o sebi, primjerena vremenu, izražavana je, stolje ćima, raznijem oblicima umjetni čkog izraza; tako su nastale i legende o Ivanu Crnojevi ću (? - 1490), jednom od posljednjih velikih boraca za crnogorsku državnu i kulturnu samostalnost na granici srednjeg vijeka.

  • Myths and Realities of Coexistence in the Divided and United Town of Mostar Vanni D’Alessio
    Mediterranean Research Meeting 2010 WORKSHOP NUMBER 6 Who is Who in the Balkans Today: Mythmaking and Identity Mutations 1989-2009 directed by: Vjekoslav Perica, University of Rijeka/Fiume, Croatia Darko Gavrilovic, Singidunum University, Serbia Myths and Realities of Coexistence in the Divided and United town of Mostar Vanni D’Alessio Myths and Realities of Coexistence in the Divided and United town of Mostar This paper analyses the transformation of the urban public space, and the trends towards social, political and cultural integration and separation of Mostar in the 1990s and 2000s. The focus of the research is on the postwar processes of division and unification of the city and their traces and evidences in the public space and in the urban socialization mechanisms1. Introduction The division of Mostar into two separate towns started in 1993, during the early 1990s war in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH). The first part of the war had ended in 1993 with the withdrawal of the Yugoslavian army and the Serb military forces from the town, followed by the disappearance of the Serb component of Mostar. Very few Serbs remained in town. Most of them reached the nearby areas controlled by Serb military forces, other parts of the country or Serbia, or moved to foreign countries, sharing the destiny of other Bosnian refugees, of Croatian, Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) and Yugoslav affiliations. Some of the refugees who fled from Mostar have returned after the war, but almost all of them have remained in Republika Srpska or abroad. According to the 1991 census the Serbs were around the 18-19% of the overall municipality (op_ina) population (126.628 people) and of the population of the inner Mostar town (grad, 75.865 people), while the declared Yugoslavs numbered a little more than 10% in the municipality and over 15% in town2.

The initiative came from King Alexander I Karadjordjević, while the Institute’s scholarly profile was created by Ratko Parežanin and Svetozar Spanaćević. The Institute published Revue internationale des Études balkaniques, which assembled most prominent European experts on the Balkans in various disciplines. Its work was banned by the Nazi occupation authorities in 1941. The Institute was not re-established until 1969, under its present-day name and under the auspices of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts.
