Publication Date 1995 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Ivo Andric Revisited: The Bridge Still Stands Edited by Wayne S. Vucinich Description: Ivo Andric won the 1961 Nobel Prize for Literature for an extraordinary body of fiction and poetry rooted in the politics and cultural history of the Balkans. Andric drew on his formal studies, political activism, diplomatic career, and extended residence in Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia to explore the human links that have united the region, to argue that conflict is not inevitable, and to lay the basis for a unified Yugoslavia. Today, Andric is claimed by all Yugoslavs as their greatest literary figure, but tragically missing the point of his work, often criticized by each group for not championing its own particular cause. This volume explores many facets of Andric: the artist immersed in both the written and oral South Slavic literary traditions developing his own unique narrative style; the humanist examining the relationships of victimization, grief, shame, and art; the anthropologist analyzing the role of women and the dynamics of gender relations; and the historian peeling through the layers of local traditions and historical experience.

V. xi PREFACE The one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Ivo AndriŒ, the distinguished Yugoslav poet, storyteller, and novelist, was com- memorated in 1992 by many scholarly circles. On 22 November 1992, a conference at Stanford University, sponsored by the Center for Russian and East European Studies (CREES), honored AndriŒ; and undertook an in-depth assessment of his work. Scholars have exam- ined many aspects of Ivo AndriŒ’s work, evaluating him as a writer, historian, artist, political philosopher, psychologist, and humanist. There have been studies of how AndriŒ treats madness, prison, myth, withdrawal and alienation, Jews, Franciscans, and women and on how he uses humor and physical imagery. Critics have as- sessed AndriŒ’s language, poetry, prose, short stories, novels, works in foreign translation, and much else. The papers in this collective work—an introductory essay, eight papers read at the conference, and two commissioned papers—contribute significantly to a better understanding of AndriŒ’s literary achievements and to our knowl- edge of AndriŒ as a writer and a man. In the first paper, Thomas A. Eekman argues that AndriŒ was not an isolated “monadic” phenomenon in the literature of South- eastern Europe, even though his talent lifted him above his fellow writers, but that the main aspects of his creativity (his realistic peas- ant and urban themes; his stories about old, half-oriental, legendary Bosnia; and the lyrical prose of his earliest stories) are also present, both thematically and stylistically, in the works of numerous prede- cessors, contemporaries, and followers in Serbian, Croatian, Slo- vene, and Bulgarian literature. Gordana CrnkoviŒ opposes the common critical assessment that considers AndriŒ’s early works inferior to his later ones. She juxtaposes Ex Ponto (1918) and Unrest (1920) with AndriŒ’s acclaimed masterpieces, The Bridge on the Drina (1945) and Bosnian Chronicle (1945), focusing on the relationship between individual victimiza- tion and art. In the later novels, the eternity of art, community, or humanity in general minimizes and displaces specific individual vii viii Preface victimizations. Ex Ponto and Anxieties, in contrast, assert an art that does not neutralize but rather articulates the urgency of individual victimizations, which cannot be glossed over by the immortality of humanity or art. Andrew Wachtel concludes that AndriŒ imagines the Yugoslav nation by appealing to the specificity of its historical experience. Wachtel claims that the central historical metaphor in AndriŒ’s major works is archaeology and that the structure of his major fiction is an attempt to explore the archaeological site that is Yugoslavia verti- cally (The Bridge on the Drina), horizontally (Bosnian Chronicle), and randomly (The House on Its Own). Through this multichronotopic exploration of his nation’s history, AndriŒ concludes that the only constants are ethnic conflict, interaction, and interrelationship, com- bined with a conviction that nothing ever changes. But no matter how much the different ethnic groups that make up the mosaic of Yugoslavia may hate one another and wish to shut themselves off from the various others who surround them, they are unable to do so. Just as pagan civilization folded into Roman civilization, as Ro- man ways were incorporated by the Bosnian and Serbian kingdoms, and as the Slavs became part of the Turkish empire, so AndriŒ imag- ined a Yugoslav nation that would be unified through its common legacy of change and stasis. The historical aspect of Ivo AndriŒ’s writing is also examined by Dragan Kujund§iŒ, who notes that history plays the most promi- nent role in AndriŒ’s work. The metaphor AndriŒ uses to represent history in his stories and novels is that of a bridge, which becomes both the lasting historical monument commemorating the great man who built it (the Grand Vizier Yusuf in “The Bridge on the ¬epa” or Mehmed Pasha SokoloviŒ; in The Bridge on the Drina) and a monu- ment to the historical conflicts, violence, and wars that surround it. Kujund§iŒ; explores these two contradictory aspects of the bridge and history—the monument that connects past and present yet at the same time represents violence, disruption, and destruction in Bosnia. He also interprets AndriŒ’s interest in bridges in psychoana- lytic and biographical terms in that AndriŒ, as some biographers have pointed out, experienced the bridge in Viéegrad as separating him from his mother. Tomislav LonginoviŒ places AndriŒ in the context of the current debate about Bosnian cultural identity. He analyzes narrative strate- Preface ix gies AndriŒ used to qualify the influence of Turkish rule on the for- mation of Bosnian culture, infusing it with a peculiar type of orien- talism. In Bosnia, the Turkish colonial domination over the Slavic population produced a hybrid culture where clear distinctions

  • When Diplomats Fail: Aostrian and Rossian Reporting from Belgrade, 1914
    WHEN DIPLOMATS FAIL: AOSTRIAN AND ROSSIAN REPORTING FROM BELGRADE, 1914 Barbara Jelavich The mountain of books written on the origins of the First World War have produced no agreement on the basic causes of this European tragedy. Their division of opinion reflects the situation that existed in June and July 1914, when the principal statesmen involved judged the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Habsburg throne, and its consequences from radically different perspectives. Their basic misunderstanding of the interests and viewpoints 'of the opposing sides contributed strongly to the initiation of hostilities. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the importance of diplomatic reporting, particularly in the century before 1914 when ambassadors were men of influence and when their dispatches were read by those who made the final decisions in foreign policy. European diplomats often held strong opinions and were sometimes influenced by passions and. prejudices, but nevertheless throughout the century their activities contributed to assuring that this period would, with obvious exceptions, be an era of peace in continental affairs. In major crises the crucial decisions are always made by a very limited number of people no matter what the political system. Usually a head of state -- whether king, emperor, dictator, or president, together with those whom he chooses to consult, or a strong political leader with his advisers-­ -decides on the course of action. Obviously, in times of international tension these men need accurate information not only from their military staffs on the state of their and their opponent's armed forces and the strategic position of the country, but also expert reporting from their representatives abroad on the exact issues at stake and the attitudes of the other governments, including their immediate concerns and their historical background.

  • Lietuvos Muzikologija 17.Indd
    Lietuvos muzikologija, t. 17, 2016 Gregor POMPE Gregor POMPE Slovenian “Early Modernism” – Methodological, Terminological, Historiographical and Axiological Dilemmas Slovėnijos „ankstyvasis modernizmas“ – metodologinės, terminologinės, istoriografinės ir aksiologinės dilemos Abstract The history of Slovenian music of the first decades after the First World War cannot be written without drawing certain parallels with the history of music in Central Europe. From this perspective, Slovenian composers in the period after 1918 followed the examples of the style that, according to Dahlhaus and Danuser, can be in German labelled as die Moderne (Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss, Hugo Wolf ) and in Slovenian correspondingly as moderna, the closest English appropriation of the term being “early modernism”. Before the war, Slovenian early modernist composers published their compositions in the magazine Novi akordi, and after the war they maintained the same stylistic orientation. What had changed was the social position of these composers: they were no longer the daring, young and innovative artistic generation, instead taking their place as the main leaders of Slovenian music culture, and therefore increasingly becoming the guardians of conservatism, of the aesthetics of expression, rooted in the romantic convictions of the 19th century. The present text analyses the aesthetic viewpoints and compositions of Anton Lajovic, Janko Ravnik and Lucijan Marija Škerjanc, who either almost ceased to compose after 1926 or remained indebted to the early modernist

    Balkan Fragments: The Erosion of Naive Memory and its Dangers Ales Debeljak Versió original en anglès Escriptor, professor de filosofia de la Universitat de Ljubljana. Versión original en inglés Escritor, profesor de filosofía de la Universidad de Ljubljana. Original version english The Yugoslav perspective has been an extremely important one in my personal and creative development. For example, my very first experience of a metropolis was of a Yugoslav one. I believe I can remember to this day that secondary-school excitement I had upon entering a new territory: like the full lips of a slightly vulgar but enormously sensual girl, the streets of Belgrade seduced me in the early 1980s with promises of romantic opportunities and flashing revelations of Balkan wisdom. I remember well that first ascent from the main railway station through the canyons of the faded palaces, which I was later told mimicked Sutjeska architecturally, all the way up to the wide Terazije. Along this boulevard I strolled, enjoying the gaily-coloured, relaxed manner of the passers-by past the Hotel Moskva. This was where, after his return from Britain, having spent decades there as an emigrant, the aged Milos Crnjanski lived until his death. I don’t know why I didn’t stay in the USA when, many years later, I myself followed the call of foreign shores, but perhaps it had to do with my being struck for the first time by the depressive force of the circumstance called exile presented in the pages of Crnjanski’s Roman o Londonu (A Novel of London). In the display window of the bookshop in the Albanija building, I quickly skimmed the titles of books not yet available in Slovene.

  • Jewish Communities in the Political and Legal Systems of Post-Yugoslav Countries
    TRAMES, 2017, 21(71/66), 3, 251–271 JEWISH COMMUNITIES IN THE POLITICAL AND LEGAL SYSTEMS OF POST-YUGOSLAV COUNTRIES Boris Vukićević University of Montenegro Abstract. After the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the Jewish community within Yugoslavia was also split up, and now various Jewish communities exist in the seven post-Yugoslav countries. Although all of these communities are relatively small, their size, influence, and activity vary. The political and legal status of Jewish communities, normatively speaking, differs across the former Yugoslav republics. Sometimes Jews or Jewish communities are mentioned in constitutions, signed agreements with governments, or are recognized in laws that regulate religious communities. Despite normative differences, they share most of the same problems – a slow process of return of property, diminishing numbers due to emigra- tion and assimilation, and, although on a much lower scale than in many other countries, creeping anti-Semitism. They also share the same opportunities – a push for more minority rights as part of ‘Europeanization’ and the perception of Jewish communities as a link to influential investors and politicians from the Jewish diaspora and Israel. Keywords: Jewish communities, minority rights, post-communism, former Yugoslavia DOI: https://doi.org/10.3176/tr.2017.3.04 1. Introduction In 1948, the first postwar census in Yugoslavia counted 6,538 people of Jewish nationality, although many Jews identified as other nationalities (e.g. Croat, Serb) in the census while identifying religiously as Jewish, as seen by the fact that Jewish municipalities (or communities) across Yugoslavia had 11,934 members (Boeckh 2006:427). The number of Jews in Yugoslavia decreased in the following years after the foundation of the State of Israel.

  • Serbia in 2001 Under the Spotlight
    1 Human Rights in Transition – Serbia 2001 Introduction The situation of human rights in Serbia was largely influenced by the foregoing circumstances. Although the severe repression characteristic especially of the last two years of Milosevic’s rule was gone, there were no conditions in place for dealing with the problems accumulated during the previous decade. All the mechanisms necessary to ensure the exercise of human rights - from the judiciary to the police, remained unchanged. However, the major concern of citizens is the mere existential survival and personal security. Furthermore, the general atmosphere in the society was just as xenophobic and intolerant as before. The identity crisis of the Serb people and of all minorities living in Serbia continued. If anything, it deepened and the relationship between the state and its citizens became seriously jeopardized by the problem of Serbia’s undefined borders. The crisis was manifest with regard to certain minorities such as Vlachs who were believed to have been successfully assimilated. This false belief was partly due to the fact that neighbouring Romania had been in a far worse situation than Yugoslavia during the past fifty years. In considerably changed situation in Romania and Serbia Vlachs are now undergoing the process of self identification though still unclear whether they would choose to call themselves Vlachs or Romanians-Vlachs. Considering that the international factor has become the main generator of change in Serbia, the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia believes that an accurate picture of the situation in Serbia is absolutely necessary. It is essential to establish the differences between Belgrade and the rest of Serbia, taking into account its internal diversities.
