5 Video Clips from Serbia: Beyond the Law | Norient.Com 28 Sep 2021 16:41:16 5 Video Clips from Serbia: Beyond the Law PLAYLIST by Svetlana Maraš 5 Video Clips from Serbia: Beyond the Law | norient.com 28 Sep 2021 16:41:16 5 Video Clips from Serbia: Beyond the Law PLAYLIST by Svetlana Maraš What we have been trained for many years to approve as acceptable in our global video culture, is violence. Films, games, music videos too. What’s been portrayed most often is the violence that goes hand in hand with criminal behavior and serves as a way of acquiring immense wealth and respected status in a society. This could be seen as a default script of any music video or film. While we can trace the influence and inspiration in American hip-hop culture to many of the music videos in Serbia, since the 1990s onwards, they are becoming very popular nowadays in the trap music scene that is mostly aimed at younger audiences. Relativization of violence and crime go deep into the roots of urban culture in this geographic area, and therefore it was interesting to observe how throughout different music genres and periods, this subject has been treated by the artists. To be on the other side of the law comes as empowerment to some and as a revolt to others. Artist: Sunshine Track: Kokane (Serbia, 1997) Label: Metropolis Records Belgrade’s band Sunshine released this great hit in 1997. The song features their original and recognizable style, a mix of hip hop and hard rock. The title itself has a small twist to avoid literal and quite obvious allusion to the subject of the song – cocaine. Lyrics and small intervention in the music video itself, create the usual, well-known script of a powerful narco-boss who enjoys common material pleasures – fancy cars, money, houses around the world and who is untouchable to the authorities and beyond the law. The song demonstrates the ultimate power of the cocaine dealer through energetic, bad-ass music style. https://norient.com/svetlana-maras/5-video-clips-serbia-beyond-law Page 1 of 3 5 Video Clips from Serbia: Beyond the Law | norient.com 28 Sep 2021 16:41:16 Artist: Ila feat Vule Track: Sam svoj gazda (Serbia, 2007) Label: Take It Or Leave It Records This hip hop duo established themselves in the 1990s and by 2000s they reached significant commercial success, touching upon mainstream with a few of the hits. The lyrics of this song portrait a tough guy who’s «his own boss» (song title). He has power, he is untouchable, he has bodyguards, cars, girls, lives in a villa with expensive stuff inside such as jacuzzi, Sony TV, surveillance etc. Plaster lions on the house facade that the lyrics mention, in Serbia very often symbolize lower working class that got rich by working hard abroad. They were characteristic in the 1990s. Artist: Repetitor Track: Ako Te Ikada (Serbia, 2016) This music video is a track from the third album by Serbian garage-post punk noise rock trio Repetitor. Unlike other music videos in this playlist, this one stands out as it takes a completely different approach. Instead of building a fictional story about a (male) character who is beyond the law, members of this band face the delinquents directly in the Belgrade District Prison where the video was shot. They made a concert for the inmates, during rehabilitation through art programme, organized by Prison treatment service. In this video, band members sort of identify with the prisoners, deleting the strict boundaries between them as they are inside of the prison gates, playing for the prison audience just like at any other concert venue, acting relaxed among the crowd. The song lyrics imply physical violence caused by the jealousy in (or after) a love affair. In terms of music, in their own words, the band expresses a burst of rage, fear, violence, pain, and anxiety. Artist: Jelena Karleuša feat Teča Track: Krimi rad (Serbia, 2012) Label: City Records Serbian turbo-folk star Karleuša brings the female character into the well- known scenario. Male and female singers are modern Bonnie and Clyde. Murders, drugs, guns, cash, travels, and first class flights – both of them are dominant and superior, untouchable. The song is a «re-do», of «Criminel» by TLF. https://norient.com/svetlana-maras/5-video-clips-serbia-beyond-law Page 2 of 3 5 Video Clips from Serbia: Beyond the Law | norient.com 28 Sep 2021 16:41:16 Artist: Coby and Mili Track:Južni vetar gas (Serbia, 2018) Label: Bassivity Digital Cash, cars, guns, alcohol, and a Serbian flag. Default scenario that’s been a predominant pattern in the majority of today’s Serbian trap music (maybe minus the flag), especially that one related to the label Bassivity Digital. This video is related to a film and series about a local criminal from Belgrade who is a car thief. Being depicted in a positive light, the mentioned lifestyle is probably aimed to inspire younger audiences who make most of the crowd at concerts of this kind of music. These kinds of music videos could be seen as an encouragement for younger people to embrace even more the materialistic culture and hyper-consumerist habits. → Published on July 15, 2021 → Last updated on August 18, 2021 Svetlana Maraš (1985) is composer and sound artist from Serbia.

Akto is a regional festival for contemporary art which includes visual arts, performing arts, music and theory of culture. The main objective of Akto Festival is to open the cultural frameworks of a modern society through “recomposing” and redifning them in a new context. The programme of the festival is based on two concepts. The frst concept is space/location_ Locations have been transformed in terms of their previous meanings. The basic idea of the festival is art pieces to come out of the standard location (galleries, museums, theatres) used for presenting art, and their setting up in new location. Re-moving of the pieces into new location transforms the piece itself (according to the parameter space). The second concept is the topic of the festival_ The topic of Akto_4 festival is Generations. The artistic pieces (according to the parameter Generations) are going to be presented in two categories: artistic pieces that have generations as a basic starting point and pieces that are transformation of an already fnished artistic forms (also according to the parameter Generations). The “new” piece is transformed from its basic form. It has new statics and dynamics. The topic Generations deals with the issue of generations and initiates several questions: Are the ties between today’s young generations with the generation of their parents broken?

    Pribežališče Verjetno v resnici nihče ne ve, od kod so pribežali njegovi predniki. In kdaj. Ter še posebej ne, zakaj. Ker smo podzavestno popolnoma prepričani, da smo tu, kjer prebivamo, od vedno. In da nam mali košček zemlje, ki ga zasedamo, brezpogojno pripada. Da smo ga obogatili z našo kulturo in mu dali posebno mesto na našem planetu. In vendar smo od nekje prišli ter zmotili oziroma onemogočili nekoga popolni mali svet, idilo in rutino. In ne vedno na prijazen način zasedli njegove vrtove. Se stabilizirali in utrdili. Na tem našem malem vrtičku se počutimo srečno, udobno in domače. Pri tem pa hkrati nenehoma bežimo. Pred samim sabo, pred sočlovekom, pred družbo, pred odgovornostjo. Zatekamo se v materialne dobrine, zabavo, televizijo, šport, internet … In ko smo tako srečno na poti, se sploh iskreno ne sprašujemo, zakaj in pred kom bežimo, kam smo namenjeni in kam nas to pelje. Zato, ker morda nimamo razloga, da bi bežali. Ker bežimo od preobilja, od tega, da bi se potrudili zase in za druge, da bi iskreno pogledali v svoje duše in si priznali, kaj je resnično vrednega in pomembnega v življenju. Beg ima neskončno oblik in dimenzij. Lahko je premikanje v boljšo prihodnost. Iskanje novih priložnosti. Reševanje obstoja. Lahko je nazadovanje v mračno preteklost. Je pa tudi stanje na mestu in zatiskanje oči, ko ob tem življenje zbeži mimo. In ne nazadnje je lahko tudi prebeg v svet, kjer je ostalo nekaj empatije, spoštovanja, sočutja in kolegialnosti. Tudi Festival Stična pomeni beg. Pred monotonim vsakdanom. Pred malodušjem. Pred tem, da se zapiramo v svoje domove in svetove.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 2 Abstract This thesis employs historical, literary and anthropological methods to show how narratives of identity have been expressed in Croatia since 1991 (when Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia) through popular music and through talking about popular music. Since the beginning of the war in Croatia (1991-95) when the state media stimulated the production of popular music conveying appropriate narratives of national identity, Croatian popular music has been a site for the articulation of explicit national narratives of identity. The practice has continued into the present day, reflecting political and social change in Croatia (e.g. the growth of the war veterans lobby and protests against the Hague Tribunal).

  • Welcome! We Are Honored to Share with You the Unique Musical World of French Composer Olivier Messiaen, One of the Twentieth Century’S Most Visionary Musical Artists
    Welcome! We are honored to share with you the unique musical world of French composer Olivier Messiaen, one of the twentieth century’s most visionary musical artists. During this immersive weekend, works of Messiaen’s are paired with those of other composers who share with the French master a common goal of reconnecting listeners with the sounds and splendors of the natural world. We are fortunate to be able to combine an illustrious group of guests with local talent, featuring students in the doctoral keyboard studies program of the Department of Music. Ithaca is a natural jewel, and as we celebrate Cornell’s Sesquicentennial year, it is a particular joy to be able to perform across campus in settings that honor a spirituality of place. Environs Messiaen also highlights a joint page in the histories of the Lab of Ornithology and the Department of Music: Messiaen made extensive use of recordings from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and he and his wife, pianist Yvonne Loriod, visited Cornell in 1973, sponsored by the music department. On page 4 you can read the review of their performance published by the Cornell Daily Sun. We are indebted to many people who have helped us prepare this festival, most of all Damien Mahiet, program KWWZLQVI\WZWN \PM?M[\ÅMTL+MV\MZNWZ0Q[\WZQKIT3MaJWIZL;\]LQM[IVQLMITXIZ\VMZQV\PMXI[\NM_UWV\P[I[_MTT I[W]ZNZQMVL[3QSW6WJ][I_II\\PM+WZVMTT+WVKMZ\;MZQM[IVLVM]ZWJQWTWOaXZWNM[[WZ:WV0WaU][QKTW^MZIVL fount of birdly wisdom.
