    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 19, Issue 2 1995 Article 18 The Destruction of Yugoslavia Svetozar Stojanovic∗ ∗ Copyright c 1995 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj The Destruction of Yugoslavia Svetozar Stojanovic Abstract If my statement about the first Yugoslavia being in many ways a non-synchronized and con- tradictory state is correct, what then can be said about the second Yugoslavia that endeavored, by keeping silent, to fill in the fatal fissure opened in Jasenovac and other places of annihilation of Serbs in the so-called Independent State of Croatia during the Second World War? For that reason, the former intermediator of the “international community” in Yugoslav conflicts, Lord Carrington, has repeatedly stated that with its new Constitution, Croatia rekindled the conflict with the Serbs. The essay will begin by discussing discuss the paralization to the breaking-up of the state, before moving to a discussion of the wars between secessionists and antisecessionists. We will also ex- amine the role of the Yugoslav Army, and Western triumphalism regarding the Yugoslav tragedy. THE DESTRUCTION OF YUGOSLAVIA Svetozar Stojanovic* I. A NON-SYNCHRONIZED AND CONTRADICTORY STATE From its formation in 1918, Yugoslavia was a non-synchronized and contradictory state. It was created mainly by Serbia and Mon- tenegro, countries that were victors in the First World War. The Serbian nation's human and material sacrifice invested in Yugo- slavia was unparalleled. Serbs were convinced that they could best solve their national question in a broader Southern Slav framework.

The cinema, that “dream factory” takes over and employs countless mythical motifs – the fight between hero and monster, initiatory combats and ordeals, paradigmatic figures and images (the maiden, the hero, the paradisiacal landscape, hell and do on). Even reading includes a mythological function, only because it replaces the recitation of myths in archaic societies and the oral literature that still lives in the rural communities of Europe, but particularly because, through reading, the modern man succeeds in obtaining an ‘escape from time’ comparable to the ‘emergence from time’ effected by myths.

  • The Status of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the United Nations
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 21, Issue 5 1997 Article 2 The Status of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the United Nations Vladislav Jovanovic∗ ∗ Copyright c 1997 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj The Status of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the United Nations Vladislav Jovanovic Abstract The status and position of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (“FRY”) in the United Nations (“UN”) is a controversial issue which has elicited many comments and articles and has cast a long shadow on the legality of the measures taken by the General Assembly (“GA”) and the Security Council (“SC”) vis-a-vis Yugoslavia. In 1992, the SC and the GA both decided that the FRY, composed of Serbia and Montenegro, could not participate in the work of the GA and its bodies. The GA further extended the prohibition against Yugoslavian participation to the Economic and Social Council and its bodies. Throughout each of these resolutions, the SC and the GA stated that the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (“SFRY”) has ceased to exist and that the FRY cannot automatically continue the membership of the former SFRY in the UN. At the root of the unresolved status of the FRY in the UN is the question whether a succession or secession has taken place in the former SFRY. Essentially, the status question had been created by the unilateral acts of secession by the four former Yugoslav republics (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Macedonia) and the intrusion of the geo-strategic interests of foreign factors that encouraged, made possible and rewarded these secessions by premature recognition of the new nations.

The Institute published Revue internationale des Études balkaniques, which assembled most prominent European experts on the Balkans in various disciplines. Its work was banned by the Nazi occupation authorities in 1941. The Institute was not re-established until 1969, under its present-day name and under the auspices of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts.

  • Kosovo Myths: Karadžić, Njegoš, and the Transformation of Serb Memory 
    Kosovo Myths: Karadžić, Njegoš, and the Transformation of Serb Memory ALEXANDER GREENAWALT e legend of Serbia’s defeat by invading Ottoman forces at the medieval battle of Kosovo on June , has long occupied a special place in Serbian natio- nal memory. Overcoming historical details that assign the event a more limited significance, the battle has come to symbolize a national death: the cataclys- mic end to the once glorious medieval Serbian state and the beginning of the -year-long Ottoman occupation, a time typically characterized both as an enslavement and as a deep national sleep. But the story also has a generative side. As Alex Dragnich and Slavko Todorovich explain in their popular history of the Kosovo region, “Kosovo is a grave and a grave means death and dust, but it also means rebirth and a source of new life” (). In the traditional account, memories of Kosovo cemented a collective Serb identity throughout the Otto- man centuries, as the Serb people kept their national spirit alive through the support of the Orthodox Church and the practice of orally transmitted epic song. In this way, Kosovo memory became an organizing principle, an inspira- tional link to medieval statehood that guided the Serbs through unimaginable hardships until, finally, in the course of the nineteenth century, they threw off the Ottoman shackles, and channeled national memory into a modern nation- state. At the heart of this national memory stands a highly mythologized account of the battle itself. Drawing on the two historical facts that are known with some certainty – that both the Serbian Prince Lazar and the Ottoman Sultan Murad were killed at the battle – the Kosovo narrative has evolved into a in- tricate morality play highlighting themes of martyrdom, treachery, and heroic self-sacrifice, and supplying a central symbolic source for modern Serb identity.

  • LARSON-DISSERTATION-2020.Pdf
    THE NEW “OLD COUNTRY” THE KINGDOM OF YUGOSLAVIA AND THE CREATION OF A YUGOSLAV DIASPORA 1914-1951 BY ETHAN LARSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Maria Todorova, Chair Professor Peter Fritzsche Professor Diane Koenker Professor Ulf Brunnbauer, University of Regensburg ABSTRACT This dissertation reviews the Kingdom of Yugoslavia’s attempt to instill “Yugoslav” national consciousness in its overseas population of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, as well as resistance to that same project, collectively referred to as a “Yugoslav diaspora.” Diaspora is treated as constructed phenomenon based on a transnational network between individuals and organizations, both emigrant and otherwise. In examining Yugoslav overseas nation-building, this dissertation is interested in the mechanics of diasporic networks—what catalyzes their formation, what are the roles of international organizations, and how are they influenced by the political context in the host country. The life of Louis Adamic, who was a central figure within this emerging network, provides a framework for this monograph, which begins with his arrival in the United States in 1914 and ends with his death in 1951. Each chapter spans roughly five to ten years. Chapter One (1914-1924) deals with the initial encounter between Yugoslav diplomats and emigrants. Chapter Two (1924-1929) covers the beginnings of Yugoslav overseas nation-building. Chapter Three (1929-1934) covers Yugoslavia’s shift into a royal dictatorship and the corresponding effect on its emigration policy.

  • Stories of Traditional Magical Healing As Belief Narratives: Between the Supernatural and Secular(Ised) Experience1
    Acta Ethnographica Hungarica 64(2), 453–482 (2019) DOI: 10.1556/022.2019.64.2.14 Stories of Traditional Magical Healing as Belief Narratives: Between the Supernatural and Secular(ised) Experience1 Smiljana Đorđević Belić Senior Research Associate, Institute for Literature and Arts, Serbia Abstract: This study analyses the distinctive features of stories of magical healing – thematic (meeting of the natural and supernatural as the core of the narrative), structural (stability of motifs, incorporation of other folklore genres – curses, blessings; didactic statements, cumulativity), and ideological (being based on a system of beliefs). In the genre system of folklore, stories of magical healing occupy a liminal space, right at the crossroads of two semantic fields, the demonologically coded and the secular(ised), as the connection with the supernatural is sometimes only latently present. On the one hand, they introduce mythological- demonological elements into the everyday, and on the other, they make abstract demonic content concrete by linking it to the plane of experience. Stories told by cunning folk about successful magical healing are an important factor in their social positioning and the verification of magical practice. The circulation of such stories within a community facilitates the creation of a picture of specific practitioners, the domain of their competences, and the effectiveness of the ritual acts. Viewed more broadly, it also creates ideas about the natural and the supernatural, the worldly and the otherworldly, eschatology, morality, and codes of conduct in the broadest sense, even when tradition is rationalised, subjected to doubt, or disagreed with. Keywords: stories of magical healing, charming, folklore genre, demonology, mythology of everyday life ТRADITIONAL MAGICAL HEALING IN CONTEMPORARY SERBIAN CULTURE This study is based on the author’s many years of experience researching traditional culture (including traditional medicine) in different locations of Serbia.

    https://doi.org/10.7592/Incantatio2018_7_Petrović CHARMERS ON THE FOLK PRACTICE OF CHARMING IN SERBIA Sonja Petrović Based on field interviews and written sources on charming in Serbia, this paper examines the social, cultural and symbolic roles of traditional charmers. Charmers speak of their practice, receiving, passing on and protecting magical knowledge, their relation towards patients and official medicine, and their relation towards the tradition of charming. Charmers perceive their role as being very important and fear that charming will become lost in the modern world. Keywords: charmers, charming in Serbia, context, discourse, folk healing, magi- cal practice, social and ritual roles INTRODUCTION The article informs our understanding of how charming practices continue to be transmitted, valued and questioned in contemporary Serbia. The introductory section reviews the development of ethno-medicine, the collecting and study of charms in Serbia and goes on to explain the research methodology and ter- minological differences with reference to traditional beliefs on the origin and diagnostics of illnesses. Based on contemporary field material and literature, the main section examines some of the constant motifs in the narrative ac- counts of charmers which contribute to the shaping of their social and gender roles and identities, such as the acquisition, transmission and preservation of secret knowledge, the charmer’s practice, their attitudes towards the tradition of charming in their work, and towards official medicine. Various kinds of traditional healing rituals, charming and magical prac- tices are widely present in Serbia to this day, co-existing with heterogeneous forms of contemporary alternative medicine. The oldest records of apocryphal prayers for healing, magical formulae, sooth-saying, fortune-telling and other astrological texts among the Serbs date to the 13th and 14th centuries.
