  • Western Perception of Yugoslavia During 1980 1
    doi: 10.19090/i.2019.30.294-309 UDC: 327(497.1)“1980/...“ ISTRAŽIVANJA ORIGINAL SCIENTIFIC PAPER JOURNAL OF HISTORICAL RESEARCHES Received: 27 May 2019 30 (2019) Accepted: 25 August 2019 SLAVOJKA BEŠTIĆ-BRONZA University of Banja Luka, Faculty of Philosophy Department of History [email protected] WESTERN PERCEPTION OF YUGOSLAVIA DURING 1980 Abstract: In the late 1970s and early 1980s a new significant wave of cooling in the relations between NATO and the Warsaw Pact dominated various aspects of world politics. In this situation, Yugoslavia was at the centre of an intricate system of relations between the two blocs, especially with projections regarding the future of the country immediately before and after the death of Josip Broz Tito, who as a person then literally symbolized Yugoslavia on the world political scene. With the aftermath of the Iranian Revolution and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the perception of a potential crisis in Yugoslavia absolutely dominated the world media during the first half of 1980. In the months before Tito’s death and during the first year after his funeral, the Western media were very active in trying to predict the fate of the Yugoslav federation and some of the predictions were very pessimistic, especially in the context of expectations of a potential Soviet invasion targeted towards Yugoslavia. In general, the character of Western media analysis of Yugoslav reality underwent a significant evolution in the short term and the viewpoint on the Yugoslav state changed quite rapidly, primarily in the negative context. In this regard, the examples of American, British and West German analytical approaches were particularly illustrative.

    Performing Solidarity: Whiteness and Status-seeking in the Non-Aligned World Jelena Subotic Georgia State University, Department of Political Science, PO Box 4069, Atlanta, Georgia 30302-4069, USA E-mail: [email protected] Srdjan Vucetic University of Ottawa, Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, 120 University, FSS 6005D, Ottawa, ON K1N 6N5, Canada E-mail: [email protected] June 2017 draft (approx. 10,000 words). Earlier version presented at the 2016 Millennium conference “Racialised Realities in World Politics.” Abstract The 1955 Afro-Asian Summit at Bandung is regarded as a pivot in the formation of Third World-ism and of coloured solidarity against Western colonialism and global white supremacy. But while this anti-imperialist spirit was no doubt present at Bandung, so were many other spirits, including those of Cold War realpolitik. We consider the different meanings of Bandung by examining the critical role Yugoslavia played in the rise of the Non-Aligned Movement in years that followed the summit. Drawing on primary historical documents, we show that Yugoslav leaders consistently failed to appreciate the racism of the international society and their own racialised privilege in it. They did appreciate, however, that performing solidarity with the decolonised and decolonising nations would bring major status rewards to Yugoslavia in the context of the East-West showdown. That self-consciously anti-imperialist and anti-colonial positions can be thickly enveloped in white ignorance suggests the need for more critical International Relations analyses of race, racism and racialised international hierarchies.

Beograd: Službeni glasnik, 2018, 337 pp. doi.org/10.14746/bp.2019.26.19 Born in 1924 to an ethnic Serbian family of today’s Croatia, Jovanka Budisavljević was 15 when WWII broke out in 1939. Forced to flee the Ustasha regime, which even- tually burned down her family house, with 17 she took the gun in her hand and fled to the woods to join the Yugoslav Partisans and to fight the Fascists. With 21, she got two medals for courage, later met Marshal Josip Broz Tito, and became part of his admin- istration, marrying the 32 years older soon-to-be president of Yugoslavia Tito in a se- cret wedding ceremony, in 1952. She became the First Lady of socialist Yugoslavia a year later, a position which she kept until Tito’s death, in 1980, even if during the last three years of their married life they did not see or talk to each other. After Tito’s death, Jovanka Broz lived for more than a quarter of a century in (self)isolation, with- out an ID or social insurance, confined to an imposing, but decrepit Belgrade resi- dence, which she seldom left. She died in 2013 and was buried next to her husband’s grave in the Belgrade mausoleum House of Flowers, escorted to her resting place with the Italian anthem of the anti-fascist resistance, Bella ciao.

  • Yugonostalgic Against All Odds: Nostalgia for Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Among Young Leftist Activists in Contemporary Serbia
    Yugonostalgic against All Odds: Nostalgia for Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia among Young Leftist Activists in Contemporary Serbia Nadiya Chushak Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2013 School of Social and Political Science The University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper ii Abstract This thesis examines yugonostalgia – nostalgia for the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) – in contemporary Serbia. Yugonostalgia often has a negative reputation – both in academia and in everyday life – as an ‘unhealthy’ or even debilitating fixation on the socialist past. However, this thesis argues that yugonostalgia tells us not only about nostalgic subjects’ attitude towards the past but also about their current concerns. Contemporary Serbia is permeated by discourses privileging nationalistic and neoliberal values. This thesis explores how young people can develop nostalgic attitudes towards the socialist past, even in such an unlikely context. Yugonostalgia is an ambiguous phenomenon, and this ambiguity allows for positive dimensions and uses. To highlight the emancipatory potential of yugonostalgia, this thesis utilises ethnographic fieldwork among young leftist activists in Serbia’s capital, Belgrade. The focus on this milieu demonstrates how yugonostalgia is not simply reactionary but can overlap with and even energize a critical stance towards both nationalistic and neoliberal projects in contemporary Serbia. Additionally, this focus on young activists helps to counter popular negative stereotypes about Serbian youth as either passive victims of their situation or as a violent negative force. Finally, the thesis also adds to our understanding of how the meaning of the ‘left’ is negotiated in post-socialist conditions.

Jana Palacha 1/2, 116 38 Praha 1, Czech Republic; e-mail: martamaria.harasi - [email protected] The article deals with internet memes related to the person of the socialist leader of Yugoslavia, Josip Broz Tito. For purposes of our research, we define internet meme as conventionalized text-iconic composition, built on a basis of a specific scheme. In intentions of contemporary narratology we also consider it as a text of its kind and its creating, reproduction, transformation and reading process – as a special discursive activity. Based on analysing the primary material occurring and spreading on internet, we provide a typology of the representations of Tito from a narratological and semiotic point of view, and regarding its function in current discourse on socialist Yugoslavia. We focus mainly on cultural meanings generated by this meme culture, its relation to the narratives formed in the context of official and unofficial representations of the leader during the socialist era and to a wider context of contemporary popular culture. Pursuant to the analysis, we try to follow the features of postmodern cultural images of the socialist Yugoslavia and its leader, and relation of these narratives to nostalgic and social-critical attitudes in the contemporary world.

  • A Contribution to the Understanding of Socialist Fashion Yugoslav State Protocol and Western Fashion (1952–1961)
    A Contribution to the Understanding of Socialist Fashion Yugoslav State Protocol and Western Fashion (1952–1961) Mirjana Menković Museum Advisor, Ethnographic Museum, Belgrade, Serbia Abstract: Since her first public appearance, Jovanka Broz, the wife of Josip Broz Tito, shaped the perception of Tito’s, new Yugoslavia in two distinct styles – one adjusted to diplomatic circles and the other attuned to the local context. As far as fashion is concerned, one of the key assumptions for the study of the First Lady's collection is the fact that she had access to the very top circles of the world's fashion industry and that she could freely order garments to be made, or select among the abundance of offered items according the most appropriate ones. Unlike other First Ladies, the presence of Jovanka Broz was not restricted to a limited term of office of her husband, but her influence on the public spanned several decades. In this respect, it is even more important and challenging to analyze certain aspects of this influence or a segment of her activities. Contents: Jovanka Broz as the First Lady / Yugoslav State Protocol and Western Fashion / References and Sources Jovanka Broz as the First Lady Jovanka Broz, the wife of Josip Broz Tito and the First Lady of the Yugoslav communist regime, had to deal with the difficult task of shaping the perception of new, Tito’s Yugoslavia both in diplomatic circles and in the local context. As far as fashion is concerned, it is usually assumed that the president's wife has access to the very top circles of the world's fashion industry, supreme fashion designers and haute couture salons, where she can freely order garments to be made for various occasions, or equally freely select, among the abundance of offered items, those that are the most appropriate for her taste and needs.
