  • The Global and the Local in Max Cavalera's Music
    Jelena Gligorijevic THE GLOBAL AND THE LOCAL IN MAX CAVALERA’S MUSIC PROJECTS The career of the originally Brazilian trash/death metal musician Massimiliano Antonio ‘Max’ Cavalera represents an excellent case study for understanding the dynamic and complex processes of ‘glocalisation’ of music, in which the elements of the global and the local operate simultaneously across economic and cultural domains (Shuker 1994: 72). On the one hand, both Cavalera’s ex- ploration of trash/death metal as a popular music genre of Western origins, and his success on the global music market, can illustrate music’s mobility across space – facilitated by the global “fows of capital, new technologies and styles” (Connell and Gibson 2003: 18) and dictated by the efforts of transnational en- tertainment companies to continue expanding their marketplace. On the other hand, Cavalera’s hybrid music projects, which are based on a specifc fusion of metal and World Music (in particular, local musical traditions of Brazil’s in- digenous peoples), and which have come to inaugurate his ‘poetics’ from the early 1990s onwards, exemplify music’s ability to construct a particular geo- graphical location and cultural identity. The present research aims to capture and unpack this dual nature of music – both its ‘fuidity’ and ‘fxity’ – in the era of globalization using Cavalera’s musical career and output as an inspiring and instructive case in point. © SES & Jelena Gligorijevic, Etnomusikologian vuosikirja 2011, vol. 23, ss. 140 – 164.

  • Origins of the Movement's Strategy: the Case of the Serbian Youth
    IPS34210.1177/0192512112458129International Political Science ReviewNikolayenko 4581292012 Article International Political Science Review 34(2) 140 –158 © The Author(s) 2012 Origins of the movement’s Reprints and permission: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav strategy: The case of the DOI: 10.1177/0192512112458129 Serbian youth movement Otpor ips.sagepub.com Olena Nikolayenko Abstract Using the case of the Serbian social movement Otpor (Resistance), this article argues that learning is critical to the development of an effective movement strategy. This article specifies three learning mechanisms: (1) participation in previous protest campaigns, (2) the cross-national diffusion of ideas, and (3) within- movement deliberation practices. The empirical analysis is based upon semi-structured interviews with former movement participants. This research seeks to contribute to the comparative democratization literature by tracing the development of the movement’s strategy in a hybrid regime falling somewhere between democracy and dictatorship. Keywords social movements, nonviolent resistance, democratization, Serbia, youth During the past few years, there has been growing interest in the study of movement strategies (Downey and Rohlinger, 2008; Ganz, 2009; Jasper, 2004, 2006; McCammon, 2012; Maney et al., 2012; Meyer and Staggenborg, 2008). Strategy is a long-term plan of action pursued by a chal- lenger organization to attain its goals, while tactics are the means used to execute the strategy. Empirical research indicates that strategy is vital to a movement’s success. Szymanski (2003), for example, demonstrates the impact of strategy on the outcome of two temperance campaigns in the USA. Similarly, McCammon (2012) shows how the use of protest tactics affected women’s struggle for changes in US jury laws.

  • New Wave in Yugoslavia: Socio-Political Context  Udc 316.723:78(497.11)
    FACTA UNIVERSITATIS Series: Philosophy, Sociology, Psychology and History Vol. 12, No1, 2013, pp. 69 - 83 NEW WAVE IN YUGOSLAVIA: SOCIO-POLITICAL CONTEXT UDC 316.723:78(497.11) Jelena Božilović University of Niš, Faculty of Philosophy, Serbia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. This paper analyzes the social and political implications of a popular culture music trend known as New Wave in SFRY. This trend was created in Great Britain and USA by the end of the 1970's but it "moved" to our country, as well, due to its opennes to Western culture. The Yugoslav New Wave was not a sheer copy of the Western trend but it managed to create its own original music expression becoming a phenomenon of one generation. The most popular new wave bands (Prljavo kazalište, Azra, Haustor, Film, Lajbah, Šarlo akrobata, Električni orgazam, Idoli) left a significant mark on the society, generation and the whole epoch not only in the sense of the music they created but also in the social, cultural and political sense. The New Wave was an avant-gard music trend whose ideals were reflected in simple musical forms, characteristic ideological engagement, visual presentations (music album covers and posters) and particularly in their lyrics full of irony, allusions and metaphors in relation to the establishment of the time. The paper compares the Western and Yugoslav new wave and punk music with a reference to their achievements and influence which is still present in contemporary culture. Key words: New Wave, Subculture, SFRY, Socialist ideology, Urban culture INTRODUCTION The new music trend, known as New Wave, originated in Great Britain and the Unated States of America in the late 1970s.

I focus on the years 2012–2016, during which Mikser was taking place in Savamala, an urban quarter in central Belgrade – which itself has undergone various urbanistic and cultural transformations in recent years. The creative team behind Mikser aimed to turn Savamala into a permanent fixture on the map of Belgrade nightlife and a tourist hotspot; the fact that they did not succeed was on account both of financial issues and conflicting top-down business interests. My conclusion is that the long-term survival of the festival is not dependent on its program or audiences, but on securing official support and infrastructure. Keywords: Savamala, Mikser Festival, Belgrade, soundscape, soundwalk In this article I analyze the soundscape of Mikser, an independent festival of contem- porary creativity, which took place in Savamala, an urban quarter in central Belgrade, between 2012 and 2016.

  • Rock Music in Serbia During the 1990S
    “““Throwing“Throwing Stones at the SystemSystem””””:: Rock Music in Serbia during the 1990s BRANA MIJATOVIC Milosevic was brought down by rock and roll, without a doubt. Because rock is also OTPOR [the movement Resistance ], and the fist [visual symbol of OTPOR ], and our empty wallets, and running through the tear-gas, and Dinkic as a governor of the National Bank [Mladjan Dinkic is a young economist, oppositionary intellectual and a musician] and a smile that conquered the fear. 1 During the 1990s rock music in Serbia metamorphosed from urban entertainment to underground opposition and a weapon of resistance against the Slobodan Milosevic regime. The analysis of several rock songs that critically addressed political discourse, key political events, figures, and social injustices in 1990s Serbia will reveal the variety of ways in which metaphors and symbols in music functioned as a powerful political critique. In using this strategy, it is not my intention to provide an encyclopedic and chronological overview of the musical scene in Serbia in the 1990s, nor do I wish to overemphasize the significance that rock music had during those turbulent times. The purpose of this article is to provide examples which will illuminate the role of music as “a kind of cognitive praxis” and a “collective learning process” during times of political unrest. 2 What exactly did rock songs in Serbia oppose and how did they function as a “cognitive praxis”? In order to answer these two questions, I will outline briefly the political and social situation in Serbia during the 1990s and then discuss the concept of cognitive praxis in social movements as proposed by the sociologists Ron Eyerman and Andrew Jamison (1991).
