The social landscape of wolves in Canada - preliminary findings
Despite the long-standing presence of wolves (Canis lupus) in Canada, attitudes toward wolves have been understudied at the national scale. However, such data can inform wildlife management policies and robust coexistence strategies. We developed an 11-question survey to assess "the social landscape" of wolves in Canada. We explored the following research questions: 1) Are attitudes toward wolves generally positive? 2) What is the role of proximi…
Afterword
In this Afterword, I use the observations from the special issue 'Music, Affect and Politics' to discuss what I see are recurring questions in the studies of music and affect: (1) the tension between new materialism and historical materialism and its implications for theorizing the interrelations between music, sound, politics, and affect; and (2) the affective politics of music and sound as a field of ideological struggles. In doing that, I push…
Affect's Social Lives
Why is the talk about Yugoslavia still emotionally charged and situated in the registers of passion, pain, sentimental recollections, or nostalgia even 30 years after its violent dissolution? How is the sphere of the affective, sensory, and embodied fundamental to understanding the historical project of Yugoslavia and its afterlives? Social Lives of Affect: Post-Yugoslav Reflections addresses these questions and explores how the attempts to conce…
We are the Partisans of Our Time”
In this article, I observe the role of collective singing and listening in recalling, reconfiguring, and repurposing the memory of antifascism in the current practices of activism and social engagement in the post-Yugoslav space. The crisis of global neoliberalism, which has its specific regional features in the area of former Yugoslavia, has fostered the (re)appropriation, reinterpretation, and repurposing of the historical legacy of Yugoslav an…
The romance with affect
This essay offers a close reading of the promises ingrained in the political potential of aural experience in the recent literature addressing affect. It focuses on why, how and when scholars privilege affect when thinking about the political capacities of music and sound in the current moment of global neoliberalism. The essay reflects on scholarly works that theorise political agency after 2008 and concentrates on affect as a need or a quest fo…
Introduction to Music and the Politics of Memory
The idea for this special issue of Popular Music and Society was born out of a joint fieldwork project between the University of Cologne, Germany, and the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts in
Disobedient
From 2000 on, the emergence of activist choirs has greatly influenced practices of political activism in the territory of the former Yugoslavia. In this article, I analyze how activists, singers, and listeners repurpose antifascist music legacy in order to experiment with new forms of political engagement. I propose the concept of radical amateurism, a political community that fuels the politicization of a field of leisure, which enables people t…
Music, Migration and Minorities
The article offers a brief presentation of the main streams of ethnomusicological research on music, migration and minorities while reflecting on their theoretical and methodological frameworks. It pays particular attention to the intersection with other ethnomusicological sub-fields and its role in challenging the methodological nationalism and Western-centric views
Encyclopedia of Romantic Nationalism in Europe
This encyclopedia documents the presence and impact of nationalized cultural consciousness in European nationalism. It tracks how intellectuals, historians, philologists, novelists, poets, painters, folklorists, and composers, in an intensely collaborative transnational network, articulated the national identities and aspirations that would go on to determine European history and politics, with effects that are still felt today. Edited by Joep Le…
Music and Aging
The article focuses on the benefits of music for older adults in retirement homes. Relevant literature was studied to investigate the theoretical and sociocultural context. Furthermore, participatory action research was conducted in the Ptuj retirement home. The findings indicate that the music programme has substantial personal and social value for the residents
Music, Affect and Memory Politics in Post-Yugoslav Space
Worldwide trends in diabetes since 1980
BACKGROUND: One of the global targets for non-communicable diseases is to halt, by 2025, the rise in the age-standardised adult prevalence of diabetes at its 2010 levels. We aimed to estimate worldwide trends in diabetes, how likely it is for countries to achieve the global target, and how changes in prevalence, together with population growth and ageing, are affecting the number of adults with diabetes. METHODS: We pooled data from population-ba…
Music (as) Labour
This article strives to broaden existing approaches in music scholarship, which, despite a long history of thinking about the role of music in shaping labour, have resulted in only sporadic attention to music labour itself. Drawing on Michael Hardt's and Antonio Negri's notions of affective labour as work intended to produce or modify peoples' emotional experiences, the article treats professional music-making as embodied labour, exploring its sp…
Balkan Music Industries Between Europeanisation and Regionalisation
Taking the regional music event “Balkan Music Awards” – presented as the Eurovision of the Balkans – as a case study, the article explores the ways in which the assumed exotic value of Balkan music and the existing sonic image of the Balkans are employed with the aim of invigorating the regional music market as a process of reorganizing “post–national” musical productions
Lepa Brena
Article focuses on politically relevant aspects of practices of remembering socialism in post-Yugoslav context and offers an approach to memory that involves considering not only what is remembered and how, but also what are the implications of these remembrances, i.e. what is the potential of memory to support (or de-legitimize) political causes and enhance (or impede) civic participation. Looking at the example of Lepa Brena's public persona an…
Staging Socialist Femininity
Ana Hofman examines the negotiation of the gender performances in Serbian rural areas as a result of the socialist gender policy and creation of the new "femininity" in the public sphere. She focuses on the stage performances of female amateur groups at the Village Gatherings, state-sponsored events held from the 1970s through the mid-1990s in the southeastern Serbian region of Niško Polje. Offering a multifaceted picture of the personal experien…
Folklore between the past and the Future
Prispevek se osredinja na glasbene prakse NOB po letu 1945, na njihovo vlogo pri ohranjanju spomina na drugo svetovno vojno ter ustvarjanju in utrjevanju partizanskega mita. Z uporabo analitičnega pristopa skuša interpretati korpus glasbenega repertoarja NOB zunaj časa 2. svetovne vojne in pokazati, da je v pomembnem delu nastajal (se oblikoval in kanoniziral) v povojnem času. Glavni namen prispevka je torej predstaviti, kako so uradni diskurzi v…
Plenary VII Epidemiology beyond genomics
There is a spectacular increase in life expectancy in nearly all countries worldwide. In this presentation I will discuss the counterside of this phenomenon: the increase in diseases in the elderly. I will address the possible causes of diseases of old age, using data from the Rotterdam Study, a prospective follow-up study of 15 000 persons of 45 years or over that is, being conducted in a district of the city of Rotterdam, The Netherlands, since…
