"Vladimir Kulic. Review of "This Is Not My World: "Art and Public Space in Socialist Zagreb" by Adair Rounthwaite
Ford’s network: The American-Yugoslav project and the circulation of urban planning expertise in the Cold War
The article focuses on the American-Yugoslav Project in Regional and Urban Planning Studies (AYP) to explore the Ford Foundation’s role in the international circulation of urban planning expertise during the Cold War. In operation in Ljubljana, Slovenia, 1966–1976, AYP was a foundation-funded collaboration between Ljubljana’s Urban Planning Institute of SR Slovenia and a succession of American universities: Cornell, Wayne State, and Johns Hopkins…
Sto godina časopisa Zenit = A Hundred Years of the Zenit Magazine: 1921-1926-2021
If a reader opens this book to page 81, they will encounter a small but immediate evidence for the import of the material presented in it: a reprint of the list of collaborators of the avant-garde magazine Zenit, published in its 25th issue in 1924. It reads like a “who’s who” of the European avant-garde, and includes Alexander Archipenko, Robert Delaunay, Theo van Doesburg, Ilya Ehrenburg, Albert Gleizes, Georg Grosz, Velimir Khlebnikov, Sergei …
Katja Praznik, Art Work: Invisible Labour and the Legacy of Yugoslav Socialism
In this timely book, the sociologist of culture Katja Praznik analyses the paradoxical nature of art as socially useful labor and parses the regimes of compensation that artists receive under different political systems. Inspired by the feminist critique of the invisibility of domestic labor, she argues that the work of artists in the modern world has been rendered similarly invisible by the Enlightenment understanding of art as something suppose…
Building the Socialist Balkans
This article introduces the special issue of Southeastern Europe dedicated to architecture in the Balkans produced in the networks of socialist internationalism. The built heritage of socialism has suffered several waves of erasure, most spectacularly exemplified by the current remake of Skopje, but it is also undergoing a surge in popular and scholarly interest. Focusing on Bucharest, Skopje, Sofia, and the activities of the Belgrade company Ene…
The Builders of Socialism: Eastern Europe's Cities in Recent Historiography
When the angry homeowners of a popular Seattle neighbourhood recently decided to rise in protest against the impending changes in the urban development code, they claimed that their chief goal was to protect the district from turning into an ‘Eastern Bloc city’. If the City Council allowed the new legislation to pass, reported The Seattle Times , Seattle was ‘in danger of becoming the Soviet Warsaw or East Berlin of the Pacific Northwest’. ‘I've …
New Belgrade and Socialist Yugoslavia’s Three Globalisations
New Belgrade and Socialist Yugoslavia’s Three Globalisations
New Belgrade was the most ambitious urban project of Yugoslavia's socialist modernisation. Its fabric bears the inscriptions of three distinct globalisation projects in which the country participated as its foreign policy shifted from the most faithful ally of the USSR to the brink of joining NATO, and then to one of the leaders of the Non-Aligned Movement. This article analyses how the key symbolic spaces of New Belgrade were shaped by these thr…
National, supranational, international: New Belgrade and the symbolic construction of a socialist capital
The construction of New Belgrade as the new capital of socialist Yugoslavia was the most symbolic modernizing act initiated by the country's communist government. Yet, its precise meanings were suspended between the complicated and permanently transitory concepts of socialist Yugoslavia's federalism and its international aspirations. Focusing on three characteristic “snapshots” of the city's physical development, this paper analyzes how New Belgr…
An Avant-Garde Architecture for an Avant-Garde Socialism: Yugoslavia at Expo ’58
The Pavilion of Yugoslavia at EXPO ’58 in Brussels was an attempt to internationally showcase the specific brand of socialism developed in that country since its break from the Soviet bloc ten years prior. That goal was best achieved through the pavilion building, an inspired piece of modern architecture designed by the Croatian architect Vjenceslav Richter, which attracted much positive attention. In most other respects, the presentation was a r…
