There are several reasons for this. Some believe H that puppetry in our country does not have a long tradition (Stanković 1966: 19), at least not the kind en- PUPPET joyed by the peoples of the Far East, as well as the peoples of Europe (mainly Italians, Spaniards, Frenchmen, Eng- lishmen, Germans, Russians, Czechs and Poles). Others THEATRE IN believe that playing with puppets and love for puppets have always been present: “It is safe to say that the first forms of puppetry had emerged several thousand years B.C., and that puppetry as a separate form of stage theat- SERBIA er art was developed and confirmed only in the twenti- eth century” (Bjelošević 2007: 57). Some see the start of Translated > Vera Krmpot puppetry in our folk tradition and in folk (public) theater (Kostić 1989; Marjanović 2005), others find it in Vertep (Lazić 2013), and others yet see it in the emergence of traveling entertainers, from the beginning of the eight- eenth century (Radonjić 1999: 122–124; Vučenović 2013: 75–82). Both adults and children were friends with pup- pets, at fairs, watching at first simple circus acts with puppetry skills, and then indipendent performances by traveling puppeteers. From playing with shadows, through puppets, guignols and yava puppets, all the way to me- chanical and other puppets that were made and creat- ed in every possible way – each and every period had its own puppet fun. We often overlook the fact that puppetry can be rec- ognized in pagan rituals, especially in numerous fertility rituals where ritual masks and puppets were often used. This is the evidence that puppetry follows man from the very beginning, and it remains with him and in this ritual form until the emergence of Christianity, but also later, in some form, especially in the folk traditions tolerated by the church, regardless of their pagan origins. Certain elements of puppetry are found in school plays too, as well as in Christmas church performances – Vertep or the manger. With the arrival of the Turks in the Balkans, as evidenced by historical facts, we also received the pop- ular oriental shadow theater, also known as “Karađoz”. > 6 Later on, traveling puppeteers from Europe with their and starry masks, wedding masks, masks on baptism, and street and fairground puppet theater and puppet heroes a host of other social masquerade games including mill- reach us, too.

There is a lack of understanding about how the process of institutional forgetting works and how some memories stay a part of oral narratives and commu- nicative social memory while they are omitted from the official memory represented by the official documents and events of remembering. Inspired by Paul Connerton’s article on the typology of forgetting we explore his typology in selected case studies of three public theaters located in Belgrade, focusing on remembering policy and practices investigating if a type of forgetting typical for a state/society/nation level is possible to be applied in the context of a cultural organization. We agree with Wessel and Moulds that developing common language and terminology would be important and beneficial for cross disciplinary dialogue. In this sense, the study shows how the typology of for- getting in societies can be applied and developed in the organizational memory studies and cultural management. The focus of the research is the dynamics of remembering and forgetting explored through analysis of the interaction between changing context, official institutional memories, and social communicative memories.

  • The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature
    From Upyr’ to Vampir: The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature Dorian Townsend Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Languages and Linguistics Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of New South Wales May 2011 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Townsend First name: Dorian Other name/s: Aleksandra PhD, Russian Studies Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: School: Languages and Linguistics Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: From Upyr’ to Vampir: The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) The Slavic vampire myth traces back to pre-Orthodox folk belief, serving both as an explanation of death and as the physical embodiment of the tragedies exacted on the community. The symbol’s broad ability to personify tragic events created a versatile system of imagery that transcended its folkloric derivations into the realm of Russian literature, becoming a constant literary device from eighteenth century to post-Soviet fiction. The vampire’s literary usage arose during and after the reign of Catherine the Great and continued into each politically turbulent time that followed. The authors examined in this thesis, Afanasiev, Gogol, Bulgakov, and Lukyanenko, each depicted the issues and internal turmoil experienced in Russia during their respective times. By employing the common mythos of the vampire, the issues suggested within the literature are presented indirectly to the readers giving literary life to pressing societal dilemmas. The purpose of this thesis is to ascertain the vampire’s function within Russian literary societal criticism by first identifying the shifts in imagery in the selected Russian vampiric works, then examining how the shifts relate to the societal changes of the different time periods.
