Page 1 What We Talk About When We WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT EUROPE / BELGRADE DEBATE ON EUROPE PAGE 1 BELGRADE DEBATE ON EUROPE / WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT EUROPE BELGRADE DEBATE ON EUROPE WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT EUROPE More than twenty years have passed since the signing of the Maastricht Treaty 1992, when twelve member states founded the European Union and took an important step towards the integration of Europe. But 1992 was also the year when the long and bloody war in Bosnia and Herzegovina started, the final blow to violently disintegrating Yugoslavia. Shortly before, with the end of the Soviet Union, the iron curtain had disappeared which had parted Germany and our whole continent. PAGE 2 WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT EUROPE / BELGRADE DEBATE ON EUROPE New realities appeared on the horizon. The Balkans apart, everybody in East and West could all at once see in a peaceful, prosperous and democratically free Europe a real possibility. More than twenty years later, in 2014, earlier certainties and hopes have become questionable. Europe, threatened by economic crisis and xenophobic nationalism within and by new conflicts and wars at its borders, is hardly certain of its own identity and destiny. What is Europe, after all? A continent, a political union, a vast playground for bureaucrats? An exclusive club admitting only the rich and powerful? Or is it perhaps rather a position to take, a stance, mental attitude? Is there a chance for a Europe which could, united, at the same time preserve its multiplicity? Dominant concepts of Europe and the multi- tude of identities; culture of democracy – culture in democracy; home-front dynamics and the reinvention of neighborhood – this are the themes of the Belgrade “Debate on Europe”: What we talk about when we talk about Europe?

  • “The Double Bind” of 1989: Reinterpreting Space, Place, and Identity in Postcommunist Women’S Literature
    “THE DOUBLE BIND” OF 1989: REINTERPRETING SPACE, PLACE, AND IDENTITY IN POSTCOMMUNIST WOMEN’S LITERATURE BY JESSICA LYNN WIENHOLD-BROKISH DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctorial Committee: Associate Professor Lilya Kaganovsky, Chair; Director of Research Professor Nancy Blake Professor Harriet Murav Associate Professor Anke Pinkert Abstract This dissertation is a comparative, cross-cultural exploration of identity construction after 1989 as it pertains to narrative setting and the creation of literary place in postcommunist women’s literature. Through spatial analysis the negotiation between the unresolvable bind of a stable national and personal identity and of a flexible transnational identity are discussed. Russian, German, and Croatian writers, specifically Olga Mukhina, Nina Sadur, Monika Maron, Barbara Honigmann, Angela Krauß, Vedrana Rudan, Dubravka Ugrešić, and Slavenka Drakulić, provide the material for an examination of the proliferation of female writers and the potential for recuperative literary techniques after 1989. The project is organized thematically with chapters dedicated to apartments, cities, and foreign lands, focusing on strategies of identity reconstruction after the fall of socialism. ii To My Family, especially Mom, Dad, Jeffrey, and Finnegan iii Table of Contents Chapter One: Introduction: “We are, from this perspective,

  • The Media in Dark Times a View of the Media in Serbia Filip David It Is
    The Media in Dark Times A View of the Media in Serbia Filip David It is the opinion of many that the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the present bloody war would not have been possible without the propaganda role of the state media, particularly radio and television. A monopoly of information already existed in its fullest form in Tito's Yugoslavia. Then too there were 'black lists' of banned personalities and an index of prohibited subjects. No criticism was allowed of Tito himself or his actions, the Yugoslav national army, the communist system, self-management or brotherly unity. It is true that in some of its features, Yugoslav communism was more liberal than that of Eastern Europe or the Soviet Union and that there was an occasional relaxation of censorship and party control, but there was never a moment when the media was free to act without ideological pressure. Having lost its ideological basis after the collapse of the Great Eastern Empire of communism, the ruling oligarchy took on nationalism as its new ideology. In Serbia, this conversion took place through what was known as 'the anti-bureaucratic revolution', which represented an introduction to the disintegration of Yugoslavia, but about the same time prefaced a gory venture into war. All the worst features of the old regime were passed on: demagogy, manipulation of people and ideas, the use of force against the truth, an Orwellian twisting of the meaning of words. People spoke of peace when they meant war, cited justice while setting up a system of gross injustice. Truth became another name for lies and life was praised by glorifying death.

  • The Literary Testimony of Jewish Women Writers in Post-World War II Yugoslavia
    Studia Judaica 21 (2018), nr 1 (41), s. 55–76 doi:10.4467/24500100STJ.18.004.9174 Dina Katan Ben-Zion A Symphony of Unique Voices: The Literary Testimony of Jewish Women Writers in Post-World War II Yugoslavia Abstract: The first part of this article endeavors to give an idea about the scope and impact of dealing with Jews and Jewish issues in the literature of the former Yugoslavia, so as to provide a frame of reference for presenting in the second part the literary testimonies of several less-known Yugoslav Jewish women writers. In the second part, the writings of thirteen Jewish women writers will be presented. Their writings represent personal testimonies of literary heroines, while reveal- ing some of the writers’ literary strategies to preserve past-time memories, which in many ways characterize the specific feminine experience of a Yugoslav Jewish woman in the postwar period.1 Keywords: Jewish women writers, female outlook in literature, cultural legacy, dual belonging, strategies of preserving the memory, individual testimony and collective memory. Foreword As a translator and literary scholar who as a child came to Israel from the former Yugoslavia, I have for many years engaged in translating into Hebrew the best-known ex-Yugoslav writers, as well as researching Jewish themes that permeate a considerable part of the literature written in this 1 In the Appendix, I have listed the names of 37 Jewish women writers in the former Yugoslavia. An extensive study dealing with the writings of four of them may be found in my Ph.D. thesis, followed by a book named Nashim kotvot ‘olam: sofrot yehudiyot be- Yugoslavia leshe-avar (Jerusalem, 2013) as well as in the article “The Feminine Voyage in the Post-Holocaust Jewish Literature of Former Yugoslavia,” published in Interkulturalnost 7 (2014), 186–191.

  • In the Works of Gabriel Liiceanu and Slavenka Drakulić
    “Eastern Europe”, “Balkanism” and “European-ness” in the works of Gabriel Liiceanu and Slavenka Drakulić by Anamaria Remete Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Media Arts and Design Murdoch University 2019 I, Anamaria Remete confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. i Abstract The thesis proposes a critical reading of the discourse of “Europe” and “European-ness”. I argue eastern European writers have internalized the imagery reproduced by these discourses in which “Eastern Europe” is cast as an inferior Other. With a postcolonial critique in mind I propose a critical reading of the works of two contemporary east European writers and intellectuals, Romanian Gabriel Liiceanu and Croatian Slavenka Drakulić. Intellectuals in eastern Europe have had a curious mix of responses to the discourse of “Eastern Europe” from acceptance, resistance, adaptation, transformation to rejection of “Europe”, “Eastern Europe” and “Balkanism”. They have crafted distinctly-new sites of resistance and post-socialist subjectivities, modes of inhabiting and belonging to contested geographies that previous paradigms have failed to properly capture. I argue that Liiceanu and Drakulić’s writings reveal the contested and enduring relationship that east European intellectuals have had with the idea of “Europe”. Their accounts complicate the image of a neatly divided Europe, and challenge the idea of a coherent and stable East and West. Liiceanu and Drakulić participate as agents in negotiating the idea of “Europe”. These texts are spaces in which intellectuals and political elites imagine Europe and their place in the world, articulate an entirely distinct vocabulary of belonging and exclusion.

Conspiracy theory in Serbian culture at the time of the Nato bombing of Yugoslavia by Jovan T. Byford © A doctoral thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University 19 March, 2002 r--~·------, Class ..,.r.,..· ...-oo~ c----·---Ace .......... No. Abstract The thesis examines Serbian conspiracy culture at the time of the Nato bombing of Yugoslavia in the spring of 1999. During the war, conspiratorial themes became a regular occurrence in Serbian mainstream media, as well as in pronouncements by the Serbian political establishment. For the most part, conspiratorial explanations focused on the machinations of transnational elite organisations such as the Bilderberg group or, more generally, on the conspiracy of 'the West'. However, conspiratorial accounts of the war occasionally invoked themes which were previously deemed to be beyond the boundaries of acceptable opinion, such as the allusion to a Jewish conspiracy or to the esoteric and occult aspects of the alleged plot. The thesis outlines the history of conspiracy theories in Serbia and critically reviews psychological approaches to understanding the nature of conspiracy theories.

The thesis is largely based upon the examination of the coverage of the war in the Serbian press.
