    Innocent Prisoner The Plight of Elephants Kept in Solitary Confinement in Europe 2013 Cover Photo Top: ©Daily Mail. Hand of Desperation – Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna with Pole Pole at London Zoo, 1983. Bottom: ©BFF. Hand of Hope? – Virginia McKenna with Twiggy at Belgrade Zoo, 2013 Foreword Although what follows here is a ‘report’, what some might regard as a dry presentation of facts, figures, dates and statistics, it is far more than that. Innocent Prisoner is about elephants – sensitive, emotional, social, family animals – and it has a particularly special significance for me. Thirty years ago this month, a teenage African elephant was ‘put to sleep’ at London Zoo. Her name was Pole Pole and my late husband Bill Travers and I had met her in 1968 when she joined us in Tsavo National Park, Kenya, where we were making a film for young people about elephants, An Elephant Called Slowly. Pole Pole had been torn from her wild family as a two year old – she was destined for London Zoo, as a gift from the then Kenyan Government. Filming over, we asked the authorities if we could buy her and give her to Senior Game Warden, David Sheldrick, and his wife Daphne. Our request was granted but we were told that another little elephant would have to be caught. One way or another, the Government’s promise to the Zoo would be honoured. Unthinkable. Pole Pole came to London Zoo. Fifteen years later, on October 17th 1983, she was put down. In the 30 years that have elapsed, many things have changed.

  • Activities in Belgrade
    Activities in Belgrade Sights to see 1. Belgrade Fortress (Kalemegdan Park) The number one must-see location in the city. Some 115 battles have been fought over impressive Kalemegdan. Over the centuries, the citadel has been destroyed more than 40 times. The building of the fortification began in Celtic times, which the Romans extended onto the flood plains during their settlement of 'Singidunum', Belgrade's Roman name. Much of what stands today is the product of 18th-century Austro-Hungarian and TurKish reconstructions. The fort's bloody history, discernible despite today's plethora of jolly cafes and funfairs, only maKes Kalemegdan all the more fascinating. Entering from Knez Mihailova, go through the 18th- century Karadjordje Gate to reach the Upper Town (Gornji grad) of the fortress. From the Stambol Gate (1750), you will reach the Military Museum and the 27.5 metre high ClocK Tower. Further along, you will see a small bricK octagon; this is the 1784 Ali Pasha's Turbeh (tomb), one of Belgrade's few well- preserved Islamic monuments. The Roman Well is nearby, a mysterious 60m deep hole (more a cistern than a well) of dubious origin and shrouded in horrifying legends; apparently the well even managed to creep out a visiting Alfred HitchcocK! Looming beside it is the Victor Monument, a symbol of Belgrade erected in 1928 to commemorate Serbia’s victories over the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires during the BalKan Wars and WWI. This 14 metre high monument is the city’s most recognisable landmarK and famous Belgrade attraction. The plateau around the monument is always crowded with tourists and Belgrade natives, partly because of the breath-taKing view over the confluence of the two rivers that flow through Belgrade, and the beauty of this landmarK as part of the historic Belgrade Fortress.

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.

    Telenet Hotels Network | Serbia Hotel Aleksandar Palas, Belgrade Media Center Belgrade Phone: +38164 5558581; +38161 6154768; www.booking-hotels.biz [email protected] Hotel Aleksandar Palas, Belgrade Aleksandar Palas Hotel was named after a great Serbian King Aleksandar Obrenovic. The inspiration to name it after the king was born from the very location of the hotel as it is situated between Kralja Petra I [King Peter the 1st - Karadjordjevic dynasty], and Cara Lazara [Tsar Lazar - Nemanjic dynasty] streets, thus naming the hotel after a great Serbian King of the third Serbian dynasty Obrenovic seemed only the most appropriate. Hotel is situated in a building that was built in 1887, in the style of architectural classicism. As many surrounding buildings were also built in the 19th century, it creates a beautiful and harmonious architectural complex. Nine very exclusive suites available at the Aleksandar Palas Hotel were designed to provide an exceptional degree of comfort and pleasure to our guests.

  • 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.

  • Belgrade and Istanbul in the Global Competition
    UDC 711.4 (497.11) 711.4 (560.118) CHASING THE LIMELIGHT: BELGRADE AND ISTANBUL IN THE GLOBAL COMPETITION Aleksandra Stupar, Cenk Hamamcioglu The purpose of this paper is to analyze and compare main changes of contemporary Belgrade and Istanbul - two urban nodes at the crossroads of different and multileveled flows. Following the same pattern of global activation, inevitable competition and networking, these cities are trying to synchronize their multidimensional background, establish new patterns of global behavior and adjust them to the dynamism of modern life. Consequently, their historical role has been modified, urban tissue has been developed, recreated and regenerated, and the output of this process represents an attractive testimony of their global initiation. Revealing the ambiguous nature of strong economic forces as well as a new fusion of urban cultures, Belgrade and Istanbul are structuring the globalized image with the new key-elements. However, their true potential and the real efficiency of this process should be re-evaluated - the changed physiognomy of the city could improve its position in the global hierarchy and facilitate its integration into the global community, but, sometimes, local limitations are too complex and too strong to be ignored. INTRODUCTION Belgrade and Istanbul, two interesting exam- for the Austrians and the Turks, and both ples interlinked by specific historical circum- conquerors 'molded' the city according to their Although the process of globalization repre- stances, have decided to apply this
