The Blue (White and Red) Orchestra
The aim of the paper is to go beyond the commonly accepted view of Sarajevo's Plavi orkestar (The Blue Orchestra) as the 1980s “teen pop-rock sensation” and illuminate the less conspicuous, but nevertheless crucial, political dimension of the band's music and visual aesthetics. This will be done by discussing several “pieces of the puzzle” essential to understanding the background to and motivations behind Plavi orkestar‘ s political engagement i…
Beyond Nostalgia
This article addresses the issue of socialist nostalgia. Specifically, it deals with the inadequacy of treating the post-socialist “return of socialism” as different incarnations of socialist nostalgia. The author contends that this kind of treatment suffers from “nostalgia reductionism” and “socialism essentialism,” and leads to the very problematic conceptual and analytical shortcoming of pre-determining the nature of what needs to be understoo…
Who Now Needs Sociology
The aim of the paper is to review the current Canadian debate about the future of sociology, centered on two sets of claims: William Carroll’s vision for a transdisciplinary future of the social science and humanities (i.e. the transdisciplinarity argument) (Carroll 2013); and Antony J. Puddephatt & Neil McLaughlin’s counter-vision for a sociology bound by its traditional disciplinary boundaries (i.e. the traditionalism argument) (Puddephatt and …
Post-Communist Nostalgia, edited by Maria Todorova and Zsuzsa Gille
Anarchy all over Baščaršija
The paper analyses Sarajevo's music movement of New Primitives and its "poetics of the local" as a struggle against the cultural hypocrisy of Yugoslavia's "new socialist culture" and its privileging of "external-cosmopolitan" as apotheosis of cultured refinement and sophistication while denigrating "local-parochial" as epitome of uncultured primitiveness. I argue that the movement's praxis is best understood as a call to reject externally-imposed…
(What's so funny 'bout) peace, love & understanding
The article examines current rock culture in the Balkans as a potential vehicle for rebuilding the broken sociocultural bonds between the different post-Yugoslav societies and for creating a constructive cultural space for articulating new forms of civic and post-nationalist identities. The argument offered is that, after the sociocultural exile during the war years, rock culture in the post-conflict Balkans has considerable potential to establis…
Spit and Sing, My Yugoslavia”
As “music of commitment,” in the period from the late 1970s to the late 1980s rock music in Yugoslavia had an important purpose of providing a popular-cultural outlet for the unique forms of socio-cultural critique that engaged with the realities and problems of Yugoslav society. The three “music movements” that embodied the new rock'n'roll spirit – New Wave, New Primitives, and New Partisans – used rock music to critique the country's “new socia…
