Countering prejudice and discrimination: Women musicians in the pursuit of socio-economic advancement and social affirmation in interwar Yugoslavia
This paper explores the challenges and efforts of women musicians in interwar Yugoslavia to improve their working conditions and oppose widespread prejudices. Despite relatively favorable conditions in the Yugoslav labor market for professional musicians, women musicians faced numerous obstacles due to prevalent patriarchal norms and negative representations.

The efforts of socialist Yugoslavia's music associations in the affirmation of (contemporary) art music among children and youth

Under political and market pressures: The staging of operetta in interwar Belgrade
In this paper, I will focus on the reconstruction of the history of operetta companies established in interwar Belgrade. I gave priority to those ensembles that held regular performances for a longer period of time in the late 1920s and late 1930s. Aside from making a detailed overview of several more stable operetta theatres in Belgrade at the time, including their repertoire and leading artists, the attention will also be paid to uncovering the…
Popular Culture and Cultural Policies and Narratives in Interwar Yugoslavia
In the second half of the nineteenth century, diverse forms of Western popular entertainment, sociability, and leisure started to expand to the urban centers of Southeast Europe. The peak of this process was reached in the decades following the end of the First World War. As it unfolded simultaneously with attempts at political and cultural integration in so-called first Yugoslavia, it captured the interest of the elites who openly expressed conc…
Contribution of the Yugoslav Sokol organizations to the interwar sphere of music
In this article part of musical activities of two federal Sokol organizations (JSS and SSKJ) in interwar Yugoslavia will be thoroughly examined. Despite the fact that these organizations were primarily focused on development of gymnastics and certain individual sports, cultural advancement of its members as well as of Yugoslav population also occupied an important place, particularly in the 1930s. As a result of broadening of Sokol?s work, musica…

The aim is to consider whether the JMY's cooperation with Eastern Bloc organisations followed Yugoslav for…
From Myth to Reality: Stevan Stojanović Mokranjac and Serbian Church Music
In this paper, we will focus on the historical reconstruction of Stevan Stojanović Mokranjac’s work in the field of melography and pedagogy of Serbian church chant. Since the prestigious status he reached among his contemporaries, as well as musicologists and music historians of the recent past, both as a melographer and expert in Serbian church chant of his time, has rarely been questioned or objectively approached, we decided to reconsider some…
The interpretation of artistic practices in Gramsci’s discourse: Towards the Gramscian analysis of music of modern and postmodern times
Antonio Gramsci dedicated a lot of his attention in his writings to the analysis of the cultural practices and their function in the socio-historical processes. An important segment of his work included the analysis of art and literature of modern times which was indirectly incorporated into the discussion of the problem of usefulness of historical materialism as a philosophical and social practice, social power and its cultural and historical ap…
