Razpad Jugoslavije in vpliv rock 'n' rolla v protivojnih akcijah v Srbiji v devetdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja Diplomsko delo obravnava tematiko razpada Jugoslavije in vpliv rocka v protivojnih akcijah v Srbiji. Vojne na območju nekdanje Jugoslavije so v srbski družbi pustile neizbrisen pečat. Vojna kultura ni vplivala samo na razmah kriminala temveč je močno zaznamovala tudi glasbeno sceno. Protivojne akcije so bile relativno pogoste; vojni situaciji so se upirale različne organizacije, ki so z akcijami opozarjale na nesmiselnost vojne in njene posledice. Prav tako so protivojno držo izražali posamezni rock glasbeniki, ki so izvedli nekaj uspešnih projektov. Najodmevnejši projekt je skupina Rimtutituki, ki je v februarju 1992 posnela pacifistično pesem Slušaj 'vamo (Poslušaj) z eksplicitnim sporočilom. Rock ni preprečil tragičnega konca SFRJ, to niti ni bil namen, brez dvoma pa izpeljani glasbeni projekti predstavljajo velik uspeh in iskro upanja vsem narodom nekdanje skupne države.

Ву writing it we vvanted to highlight the impact the Jewry from Novi Sad made while shap- ing the city’s urban and cultural соге. The buildings, streets, monu- ments and sights, hovvever, are just as important as the people who built them and who kept the Jevvish Community together. Over the centuries, Novi Sad along with its Jews had more troublesome than peaceful times, but just like their city, the Jews survived and managed to prosper. TONS, the City’s Tourist Information Centre has supported us in representing the Jevvish Community as a дгоир of individuals made of flesh and blood who, in spite of саггуing the heavy burden of the Holocaust, still have a clear vision while living in harmony with all the other ethnic and cultural groups in Novi Sad.

  • PUBLIC THEATRE's SOCIAL ROLE and ITS Audiencea
    ТEME, г. XLV, бр. 1, јануар − март 2021, стр. 213−229 Оригинални научни рад https://doi.org/10.22190/TEME190702012M Примљено: 2. 7. 2019. UDK 792: 316.4.062 Ревидирана верзија: 17. 11. 2021. Одобрено за штампу: 26. 2. 2021. PUBLIC THEATRE’S SOCIAL ROLE AND ITS AUDIENCEa Ksenija Marković Božović* University of Arts in Belgrade, Faculty of Dramatic Arts, Belgrade, Serbia Abstract Today, public theatre is directed toward adapting to its contemporary socio- economic context. In doing this, it is trying to preserve its artistic values and at the same time fulfill and diversify its social functions and missions. When we talk about public theatre’s social function, i.e. the public value it produces, some of the main issues concern its contribution to the most pressing social matters. In general, these issues concern public theatre’s role in strengthening social cohesion, cultural emancipation and social inclusion, its role in the process of opening dialogues, revising formal history and re-examining traditional forms of thinking. Fulfilment of these functions is strongly linked with the character of public theatre’s audiences. In more practical terms, the scope of public theatre’s social influence is dependent on how homogenous its audiences are. If one considers artistic organizations’ need for sustainability as a key factor in their need for constantly widening their audience, and particularly the inclusion of “others” (those not belonging to the dominant cultural group), in the context of contemporary society’s need for social and cultural inclusion, then the task of today’s public theatres becomes rather difficult. Simply said, there are too many needs to be met at the same time.
