Practising Dialectical Materialism
This article examines relationships between architecture and ideology in socialist Yugoslavia by exploring the cultural interpretation and appropriation of the Balkan house in achieving modern, specifically Yugoslav architectural expression. Through the contextualization of the period's different narratives on the Ottoman vernacular and various architectural designs related to it, the aim is to demonstrate how Yugoslav architects relied on Marxis…
The Bridge of King Alexander I in Belgrade and the Ambiguities of National Identity in Interwar Yugoslavia
In the period between the proclamation of royal dictatorship and the assassination of King Alexander I, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was characterised by the dynamics of competing visions of Yugoslavism.

This article …
Affecting Consonance, Striving for Dominance
Despite the rapid development of Byzantine studies in the Balkans, Byzantium has remained a controversial and highly politicized subject.

While exploring the complexity and entanglement of Serbian modernism in visual culture, literatur…

Images of the Nation Foreseen
This article is an interdisciplinary study of the Vidovdan Temple (c. 1906-13), a sculptural-architectural whole that was Ivan Meštrović's most controversial and most widely interpreted work. I analyze visual culture and intellectual history to show how this particular artwork became highly instrumental in creating and strengthening Yugoslavism's primordialist dimension, which sharply marked the South Slavic territories' political landscape in th…
