Challenges in building constituency among civil society organizations in Serbia
Civil society organizations have played a significant role in the development of democratic capacities in Serbia, but they operate in increasingly unfavorable political circumstances with growing distrust of citizens in their effectiveness and legitimacy. Citizens of Serbia are characterized by high distrust in institutions (including those from the civil sector) and socio-political engagement, but recently civic activism has been on the rise, es…

This study aims to investigate the profound impacts of the pandemic on elder care in Serbia. Specifically, it seeks to understand the adjustments made in care practices when physical proximity impedes care. The research employs a qualitative, ethnographic approach to analyzing data from 40 interviews conducted with elder care providers and recipients between April and September 2022 as well as ethnographic observations and unstructured interviews…

Ao centralizar o formato de vídeos curtos adaptados para telas de smartphones, essa plataforma apresenta o componente sonoro do material audiovisual de maneiras nunca exploradas no âmbito das mídias sociais em escala global. Neste artigo, explorarei as maneiras pelas quais o TikTok deu uma "v…
‘Surrender is not an option’
This article deals with the Serbian metal scene during the COVID-19 pandemic. To introduce the general features of this small-scale scene, a short historical overview is given, with particular attention to the challenges and opportunities the scene faced during the last decade before the pandemic. This made a good interlude into the scene’s ways of navigating the pandemic, particularly from March 2020 to the beginning of 2022. Within this timefra…
Crowdfunding for health care expenses
The emergence of crowdfunding as a means to gather financial support for medical expenses has become a global phenomenon. As the prevalence of medical crowdfunding increases within regional contexts, including in Serbia, this article aims to offer a framework for understanding this phenomenon and its ramifications. Drawing upon a review of literature and research mostly pertaining to Anglo-Saxon crowdfunding practices, we contend that the prolife…
Activist Musicology and Informal Multimedia Archives
The YouTube channel “Serbian Composers” was founded in 2012 by four musicology students from Belgrade. As the first page dedicated to both art music and applied music of Serbian composers on this popular video-sharing website, over the past 11 years this channel has shown itself to be an excellent platform for the promotion, multi-media archiving, research, digitalization, and preservation of Serbian music. The founders of the channel—nowadays ac…
“The music is highly eclectic, and it should be approached accordingly”
Music for voice holds a special place in the opus of Serbian composer Jug Markovic. In all of his pieces, Markovic maintains a type of care for the vocal part that distinguishes him in the context of Serbian art music, and, at the same time, puts him on the international map of contemporary composers who work with voice in non-traditional ways. This is reflected in his intention to diversify performing techniques and vocal styles, in the detailed…
Common good, public interest and the commons
The paper endeavours to offer a closer definition of the concepts of common good, public interest and the commons, analysing their usage in a contemporary and historical perspective. The common good has been one of the key subjects of moral and political philosophy since ancient times. Today, the term public interest is often used as a synonym for the term common good. However, we will try to show that they carry a somewhat different meaning. A r…
Black (metal) epics
Prompted by the emergence of Serbian black metal supergroup Gavranovi and their two singles released in 2020, this article offers an interdisciplinary and intertextual reading of this project. In this article, collaborative efforts of musicology and ethnomusicology are employed in interpreting the new readings of Serbian epic tradition in the context of extreme metal, as well as its positioning in the history of Serbian extreme metal scene in gen…
Female Imagery in Bogomil Myth, Exegesis and Social Reality
This paper will examine the role of women and, more broadly, the female imagery presented in Bogomil doctrine and practice, as reflected in the Bogomil myth, Biblical exegesis and social reality. The paper explores the relationship between the Bogomil mythological accounts and exegetical practice on the one hand, and the society on the other, in order to clarify whether these Bogomil literary techniques were disconnected from society, or not, and…
Voice and technique/technology in contemporary music
Predmet disertacije Glas i tehnika/tehnologija u savremenoj muzici jeste odnos glasa u savremenoj muzici prema vokalnoj tehnici i tehnologiji snimanja, obrade i manipulacije zvuka. Baveći se izvođačkim glasom u savremenoj umetničkoj, popularnoj i crossover muzici, nastojala sam da pokažem na koji način specifične, tj. proširene vokalne tehnike i mogućnosti nove tehnologije utiču na aktuelnu vokalnu produkciju. Moja polazišna hipoteza bazirana je …
Kant’s moral theory as a guide in philanthropy
This paper focuses on Kant?s moral theory and how it can guide our actions in philanthropy. Philanthropy is usually defined as a voluntary action aimed at relieving suffering and improving the quality of lives of others. It has been argued that, within the framework of Kant?s theory, it is our duty to be beneficent, sacrificing a part of our welfare for others. The duty of beneficence is a wide one. Interpreters of Kant disagree on what the wide …
Spreading the Word
The oral biblical exegesis and oral transmission, or the unwritten tradition, represent pillars in the circulation of texts and ideas since the very dawn of Christianity, both in orthodox and heterodox circles. Namely, this vast topic encompasses the concepts related to the concepts of the written sources and the spoken word, and their interrelation, and, furthermore, to the symbolism of the ear, Logos, and secret teachings (arcana). The role and…
Who volunteers in Serbia? Motives and value orientations of Serbian volunteers
In this paper, we focus on individual factors that influence on people t o engage in formal volunteering, providing empirical evidence from Serbia. We discussed Batson?s four-motive theory of communal actions. The majority of Serbian volunteers reportedly dedicated their time in order to contribute to the community and to help people in need. Thus, they were driven by collectivism and altruism. The lack of time, lack of solicitation for volunteer…
Volunteering and helping in Serbia
Volunteering is conceptualised as an activity when time is given freely to benefit another person, group or cause. Such activity can be done through formal organisations and informal groups, but time can also be given directly to people in need. However, volunteering to formal organisations tend to predominate in the research, and our knowledge on the factors that promote such behaviour mostly comes from countries where this form of giving time i…
Altruism in behavioural, motivational and evolutionary sense
This paper discusses the relations between three forms of altruism: behavioural, evolutionary and motivational. Altruism in a behavioural sense is an act that benefits another person. It can range from volunteering to a charity and helping a neighbour, to giving money to a non-profit organisation or donating blood. People often dedicate their material and nonmaterial resources for the benefit of others to gain psychological, social and material b…
Serbian Underground Festival
Serbian Underground Festival is a manifestation devoted to "extreme" music genres (metal, hardcore, punk and their subgenres), which is being held in Belgrade in the last few years. In this paper, I will try to show how this festival can be observed and analyzed as the music scene "in a small", considering that its program, apart from the musical/performing aspect, involves ingathering of all the elements of the scene - organizers, journalists, p…
Commitment-based action
This paper focuses on Sen?s concept of contrapreferential choice. Sen has developed this concept in order to overcome weaknesses of the rational choice theory. According to rational choice theory a decision-maker can be always seen as someone who maximises utility, and each choice he makes as the one that brings to him the highest level of personal wellbeing. Sen argues that in some situations we chose alternatives that bring us lower level of we…
Individual decision making, group decision making and deliberation
Each of us makes a number of decisions, from the less important to those with far-reaching consequences. As members of different groups, we are also actors of group decision making. In order to make a rational decision, a choice-making procedure must satisfy a number of assumptions (conditions) of rationality. In addition, when it comes to group decisions, those procedures should also be ?fair.? However, it is not possible to define a procedure o…
Human development index as a measure of human development
Human development is ?a process of expanding the real freedoms that people enjoy? (Sen 1999: 3). Therefore, widening of people?s choices should be the goal of the public policies aiming at human development promotion. In order to assess the level of human development, to compare it with other countries? achievements, or to evaluate different policy proposals, decision-makers have to rely on an accurate indicator of human development. Since gross …
