Like all dentists, he relished the pleasure peculiar to their profession—to converse with a person whom they have just rendered incapable of answering back. While thus engaged, this dentist also enjoyed the odd dig at my expense. He once told me of a journey through Yugoslavia, which he took as a younger man. He did not spare me sarcastic comments on the broken- down socialist trains, corrupt policemen, beautiful women keen to marry a Westerner, etc. Of course I had to repay him somehow. So after I was finally allowed to spit out that abominable mixture of mouthwash and blood, I told him the following anecdote: !1 “You describe my people rather well,” I said, “but, of course, we ex-Yugoslavs have also travelled to Sweden, mostly as immigrants, rather than as tourists.

  • Yugoslav Cinema
    Egemia, 2018; 3: 31-49 31 TRANSFORMATION OF TRAUMATIC CHARACTERS IN POST- YUGOSLAV CINEMA Ahmet Ender UYSAL* ABSTRACT This study examines the changes Yugoslav cinema realized from the 1980s to the 2000s, and seeks to see the contributions of three important post-Yugoslav directors to the transformation of the cinema characters. The post-Yugoslav states emerged after the disintegration of Yugoslavia, and they underwent political and cultural changes as a result of the collapse of the former Yugoslav socialism and the post-civil war. Post- Yugoslav cinema, which took its share from these changes, experienced crises of national identity and modernization. Examining these changes in cinema with cinematic characters is also very important in terms of visualizing cultural and economic changes in a cinematic sense. The real problem here is where the boundary of this change will be drawn. This is because, although the characters in post-Yugoslavian cinema have been transformed, there is still some cinematic tradition that continues today. Post-Yugoslav cinema will therefore be considered within the period of 1980s. Keywords: Post-Yugoslav cinema, trauma, cinematic characters * Arş. Gör., Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Güzel Sanatlar Fakültesi, Sinema-Televizyon Bölümü / VAN E-posta: [email protected] Makale Gönderim Tarihi: 14.06.2018 – Makale Kabul Tarihi: 16.10.2018 32 Egemia, 2018; 3: 31-49 INTRODUCTION Often, the concept of post-Yugoslavian cinema offers curative effects on rejection of failure and the search for hope, and becomes a common stake of new countries emerging after the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia, which is increasingly adopted in the field of film studies (Šprah, 2015: 184).

    CultureTalk Bosnia and Herzegovina Video Transcripts: http://langmedia.fivecolleges.edu Late Twentieth Century Music Bosnian transcript in Latin: Sedamdesetih godina se dešava ekspanzija, tj. bum rocka u Bosni i Hercegovini, kada se pojavljuje možda i najvažniji bosansko-hercegovački bend, istorijski gledano, a to je Bijelo Dugme. Bijelo Dugme je, kao što su neki moji sugovornici već spominjali, bend koji je promijenio mnoge stvari, kako u Bosni i Hercegovini, tako i u bivšoj Jugoslaviji. Vrlo brzo su postali najtiražniji, vrlo brzo su postali jako popularni. Ono što su oni izvodili se, u tim samim počecima, najlakše može opisati kao kombinacija Led Zeppelina, i neke... Nekog bluesa, recimo, sa blues korijenima se osjeti neki uticaj, recimo B.B. Kinga, Muddy Watersa itd; dok poslije, kako je bend napredovao i kako se mijenjao, došlo je do uticaja etna, tj. kao što sam već spominjao, nekog tradicionalnog zvuka na samom zvuku benda, koji se nastavio do samog njihovog gašenja 1989. U međuvremenu, kao odgovor na pojavu Bijelog Dugmeta, pojavili su se, pojavio se veliki broj alternativnih bendova, kako u Bosni i Hercegovini, tako i u čitavoj bivšoj Jugoslaviji. Sve je počelo nekim novim valom, tj. novim talasom u Beogradu i u Zagrebu, pa su se pojavili bendovi poput Haustora, Prljavog kazališta [u Zagrebu], Partibrejkersa u Beogradu, ne znam koga bih još spomenuo, koji su, je li, pokušali da rade nešto što je potpuno drugačije od ovog što je radilo Bijelo Dugme. Iz tog novog vala se pojavio jedan pravac tj. podžanr alternativne rock muzike u Bosni i Hercegovini koji se zvao „novi primitivizam“ tj.

  • The Role of Music in the Conflict- Tool of Reconciliation Or a Deadly Weapon (Case Study of War in Former Yugoslavia)
    The Role of Music in the Conflict- Tool of Reconciliation or a Deadly Weapon (Case Study of War in Former Yugoslavia) Institute for Cultural Diplomacy The Annual Conference on Cultural Diplomacy 2015 "Building Bridges of Peace and Reconciliation in Times of Greater Global Insecurity" (Berlin; December 10th - 13th, 2015) Zrinka Mozara, PhD student Abstract The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the role that music played in the war during the conflict in former Yugoslavia. In the first part, the usage of music in building the common Yugoslavian identity is presented. Secondly, the influence of the music during the pre-conflict period is exposed. Furthermore, the role of music as a weapon is considered. Finally, the paper demonstrates the potential of music during the reconciliation period. 1. INTRODUCTION Throughout history, music has always been a useful instrument for propaganda and an efficient motivator for group action. Although music has the potential to bring people together, at the same time, this sense of belonging to a specific group may be used in order to build antagonistic sentiments towards the other group (Grant et al., 2010). Even though there has been relatively little research on connection between music and propaganda, existing evidence suggests that the most successful musical propaganda is an affirmative one which induces positive associations (Grant et al., 2010). On the other hand, there are lots of examples of the negative influences in music which raises the issue of justification of the censorship. Music simply cannot be seen as absolutely positive since there are many examples when music was tool of the oppression and persecution of others or it was used to encourage hatred and violence (Grant et al., 2010).

  • Music Heritage in Relocation: the “Guča Na Krasu” Festival
    MUSIC HERITAGE IN RELOCATION: THE “GUČA NA KRASU” FESTIVAL Ana HOFMANI COBISS 1.01 ABSTRACT Music Heritage in Relocation: The “Guča na Krasu” Festival This article attempts to turn from describing heritage in the framework of official and everyday dis- courses of identity and politics of belonging towards acknowledging its spatial nature. As an example, I use the Guča na Krasu festival in order to explore two main questions: how a strong notion of locality is mediated by the non-locality of sound, and the ways in which globalization and mobility are remod- elling music heritage protocols, particularly in the case of migrant communities. I explore the ways in which trumpet orchestra music, as one of the main genres of Balkan music on the world music market, is becoming an affective tool of identification and affiliation, and bringing a newly emergent global- local dynamics to the existing heritage management of the Serbian community living in this area. The discourses of heterogeneity and transnationality in branding Balkan music have led to an ambivalent identification with the festival among community members. Navigating between sound environments, music heritage protocols, globalization processes and affective technologies, the space is approached through an examination of the complexity of relations among communities, affective spatio-temporal sound collectivities, and music globalization processes. KEY WORDS: Guča na Krasu, spatio-temporal sound collectivities, trumpet orchestras, Balkan music, her- itage protocols IZVLEČEK Premeščanje glasbene dediščine: Festival Guča na Krasu Članek poskuša preseči opisovanje dediščine v okviru uradnih in vsakodnevnih diskurzov identitete in politik pripadnosti ter raje poudariti pomen prostora v odnosu do dediščine.

Ogni giorno un uomo trasporta il latte e attraversa il fronte a dorso di un asino, schivando pallottole, per portare la sua preziosa mercanzia ai soldati. Benedetto dalla fortuna nella sua missione, amato da una giovane donna del paese, tutto lascia pensare che un futuro di pace lo stia aspettando… fino a che l’arrivo di una misteriosa donna italiana sconvolgerà la sua vita completamente. Inizia così una storia di passione, di amore proibito, che farà precipitare i due protagonisti in una serie di fantastiche e pericolose avventure. Si sono uniti per caso e niente e nessuno sembra in grado di fermarli. Note di regia Per me, il cinema resta ancora un’esperienza e un lavoro molto intenso, come il primo giorno. Con questo film torno a Venezia, dove a 27 anni ho presentato la mia opera prima, Ti ricordi di Dolly Bell? La cosa più incredibile di questo mestiere è che ogni volta ti sembra di non sapere niente e di ripartire da zero.
