  • SOME METHODOLOGICAL CONCERNS REGARDING the STUDY of BALKANISM in CINEMA Mario Slugan University of Chicago 1
    SOME METHODOLOGICAL CONCERNS REGARDING THE STUDY OF BALKANISM IN CINEMA Mario Slugan University of Chicago 1 It was in the early 1990s that Balkanism came to the attention of Slavic studies. As early as 1990, Milica Bakid-Hayden drew on Edward Said’s Orientalism to describe the rhetoric employed by many a Slovenian and Croatian politician and writer to discuss the Yugoslav crisis of the 1980s. Regardless of whether Balkanism was treated as a variation of Orientalism (Bakid-Hayden and Hayden 1992, Bakid-Hayden 1995) or as a rhetorical paradigm specific to the Balkans (Todorova 1994), Orientalism has remained the conceptual paradigm behind Balkanism well after the most detailed analysis of the phenomenon has been written (Todorova 1997). According to Todorova, Balkanism dominated western perceptions of the region from the early twentieth century until the beginning of World War II and then again from the demise of the Soviet Union onward. During the communist era, the Balkans had been an indistinguishable part of the monolith of Eastern Europe. After 1989, the Balkans reappeared as the ‘Other’ of the newly forming Central Europe. It was often connected with the notion of Balkanization, denoting the fragmentation of viable larger political entities as well as the return to the primitive, backward and tribal. While Todorova is careful not to identify Balkanism as a mere variation of Orientalism, both discourses serve to reinforce a western style of domination through description, learning and authorization of viewpoints. Todorova lists a number of features that distinguish the Balkans from the Orient: central among them, the manner in which the construction of Balkan identities takes place.

    GRBAVICA is a story about contemporary Sarajevo… Single mother Esma wants to grant her twelve-year-old daughter Sara's wish to participate in a school trip. A certificate proving her father is a war martyr would allow her a dis- count. But Esma continues to avoid Sara's requests for the certificate. She would rather find a way to pay full price for the trip. She believes not telling the truth about Sara's father is a way to protect both her and her daughter. DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT I am fascinated by everyday life, but compared to war, it can seem ordinary, non-dramatic, even banal. Yet when the surface of this everyday life is scratched, the whole power of human emotions - - past, present and future -- starts to leak out. GRBAVICA is first of all a story about LOVE. About love that is not pure, because it has been mixed with hate, disgust, trauma, despair. It's also about VICTIMS who, though they did not com- mit any crime, they are still not entirely innocent in relation to future generations. GRBAVICA is also about TRUTH, a cosmic power necessary to progress, and very much needed by society in Bosnia and Herzegovina who must strive to reach maturity.

  • Tragedy and Farce in Dušan Kovačević's Post-Yugoslav
    The Journal of Kitsch, Camp and Mas Culture The Journal of Kitsch, Camp and Mass Culture Volume 1 / 2020 TRAGEDY AND FARCE IN DUŠAN KOVAČEVIĆ’S POST-YUGOSLAV SCREENPLAYS Aleš Čakalić Doctoral Candidate at AMEU – ISH, Ljubljana, Slovenia, [email protected] Aleš Čakalić TRAGEDY AND FARCE IN DUŠAN KOVAČEVIĆ’S POST-YUGOSLAV SCREENPLAYS Aleš Čakalić Abstract Commenting on Hegel’s remark that all great world-historic facts and personages appear twice, Marx famously appended that they do so the first time as tragedy, and the second time as farce. This paper intends to show how the film scripts by popular Serbian playwright Dušan Kovačević (b. 1948) can be read as a specific post-Yugoslav and post-communist artistic commentary on Marx’s claim. Kovačević’s scripts for three well-known post-Yugoslav films are discussed: Emir Kusturica’s controversial Underground (1995), Goran Marković’s The Tragic Burlesque (1995), and Kovačević’s own The Professional (2003). Within the larger frame of post-Yugoslav cinema, these three films constitute an important segment of the ideological current of self-Balkanization, which seemed to be all over the place especially in the Serbian cinema of the 1990s. What these self-Balkanizing films have in common, according to Pavičić, is a perception of the Balkans as a zone of permanent and inveterate chaos, a zone to which occasional wars are actually rather endemic. The three Kovačević’s scripts in question are very much in the same vein, yet they are substantially more farcical in nature when compared to self- Balkanizing films that were not written by Kovačević.

During a period of two years, French President, François Mitterrand, was to personally vet the documents supplied by this source in Moscow, to whom the French Secret Service gave the codename “Farewell”. Then master of the White House, Ronald Reagan, set aside his reluctance to work with a French Socialist to put this unhoped-for information from the very heart of the KGB to use. Farewell would in fact decapitate the network which enabled the KGB to gain in-depth knowledge of scientific, industrial and military research in the West. Once the USSR had been deprived of these precious sources of information, Ronald Reagan’s announcement of the new “Star Wars” military programme sounded the death knell of the Soviet Union.
