Asimismo, Kusturica ofrece un análisis metafórico sobre la evolución de un país diezmado, al tiempo que realiza un agudo estudio de mentalidades populares y del mundo gitano, un tanto deudor de otros maestros del cine -como él mismo reconoce-, pero sin dejar de tener su propia personalidad creadora.

  • The Storied Yugoslavia
    THE STORIED YUGOSLAVIA: A DIALOGUE OF MYTHISTORY, POWER, AND STORIED YUGOSLAV NATIONAL CONTEXT IN IVO ANDRIĆ’S THE BRIDGE ON THE DRINA (1945/1959) AND EMIR KUSTURICA’S UNDERGROUND (1995) MILANA M.

Bodiroga, 2013 ii Abstract This thesis examines a dialogue between two texts meant to contribute to the mythistory (Aleksić, 2007) and what I term the storied context of the second Yugoslav Experiment (1945-1995). From within the lens of my own diasporic context, I juxtapose Ivo Andrić’s novel The Bridge on the Drina (1945/1959), published at the nation’s outset, against Emir Kusturica’s film Underground (1995), produced at Yugoslavia’s failing end. I analyze the thematic connections and ideological constraints to the conversation between these two texts by establishing the parameters of both Kusturica’s successful and unsuccessful attempts to engage Andrić’s novel. A template for the continued overlaying of “discrepant voices” (Said, 1993) is revealed for further examination both backward into the mythistories of the Southwest Slavs of the Balkans and forward into the construction of storied contexts in the former Yugoslav states. Finally, a discussion of the influence of the West’s own imaginary of the former Yugoslavia and its influence of contextualizing stories of the same is also examined. iii Table of Contents Abstract………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..i Table of Contents…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………ii Introduction………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..1 Who I Am ................................................................................................................................................. 5 Telling Me Who I Am ..............................................................................................................................

In many popular le­ gends and folk tales he is the creator of miraculous springs, a master of the for­ ces of nature with all features of a God who blesses and punishes. Often cruel in punishing and horrendous in his rage, St. Sava, has the features of a primi­ tive pagan god and, though a Christian saint, in the eyes of popular culture he embodied a pre-Christian pagan divinity or the ancient Serbian god of the un- derworkR In the age of nationalism however, the Serbian cult of St.

Le pays est un savoureux mélange entre l’occident et l’orient, entre une âme slave et un savoir vivre méditerranéen. Généralement avec des a priori ou au mieux sans attentes particulières, les voyageurs sont d’abord éblouis par la chaleur humaine. Les Serbes vous accueillent le cœur sur la main et vous font profiter de leur amour pour la vie : la musique est envoutante, les rues sont animées, les plats sont copieux et les sourires sont sincères. Nous partirons d’abord à la découverte de Belgrade, ville frontière depuis des millénaires entre l’Orient et l’Occident. Nous ferons une « incursion » en Europe Centrale, dans les plaines du Nord au bord du Danube, pour découvrir les villes de Novi Sad et Sremski Karlovci, hauts lieux de la culture serbe. La route nous mènera ensuite le long du Danube à la découverte des forteresses et villages historiques depuis la préhistoire jusqu’à l’époque romaine. Nous passerons une nuit au monastère de Studenica, véritable gardien de la culture, de la spiritualité et de la royauté serbe médiévale. Nous finirons par la Serbie de l’ouest et le village du metteur en scène Kusturica, avant de revenir à Belgrade pour un diner en musique au quartier bohême. 2 VOTRE ITINERAIRE NOVI SAD CAVE A VIN KOVACEVIC BELGRADE GOLUBAC SMEDEREVO RAJAČKE PIVNICE CAVE A VIN DESPOTIKA MOKRA GORA CAVE A VIN
