“Biden’s Saigon”: A metaphor analysis of “Sputnik’s” coverage of the American withdrawal from Afghanistan
This study examined the Russian state-sponsored outlet “Sputnik’s” metaphorical use in covering American withdrawal from Afghanistan to explain rhetorical devices used to disseminate discourse about Russia’s geo-political rival, the United States. Using the Metaphor Identification Procedure (MIP), the study analyzed 28 main metaphors and metaphorical expressions in “Sputnik’s” coverage during the week of the American pullout. Metaphors such as Bi…
Pandemic sports: The media reception of Novak Djokovic’s Adria Tour
In this article, I deal with the Adria Tour?s media reception, an exhibition tennis tour held in June 2020 in Belgrade, Serbia, and Zadar, Croatia, organised by Novak Djokovic, a high-rank tennis player and one of the most famous public figures in the post-Yugoslav region. Enthusiastically promoted in the media, the Tour eventually failed after several participants, including Djokovic himself, tested positive for the new coronavirus. The Tour fel…
From a Yugoslav to a Balkan Star and Back: Lepa Brena’s Public Figure in Transition
In this article, I deal with the public figure of the singer Lepa Brena in the context of the cultural and music politics in socialist Yugoslavia and in the war and post-war times, by focusing on her transition from a “genuine” Yugoslav star, through the period in which the Yugoslav label was not desirable, to the singer’s recent transformations in which she has been involved in the process of commodifying Yugonostalgia for repositioning her publ…
The implications of nostalgia in German modern sociology
In this article, I deal with nostalgia as an implicit category in the 19th-century German sociological discourses. I draw on the approaches that argue that sociology can be seen as a nostalgic social science since the sociologists? discourses were focused on the issues of causes, characteristics, and consequences of the modern age for individuals and society. Trying to explicate modern society, usually by comparing it to the premodern forms of so…
A proposal for a socio-anthropological typology of nostalgia: From the concept of disease to the symptom of contemporary culture
In this article I analyse nostalgia as a socio-anthropological category. Nostalgia is here interpreted as a social and cultural phenomenon which was formed from 17th until 21st century, being transformed from a disease to a product on the contemporary market. Hence, nostalgia appears to be a “meta-concept”: a transtemporal category that allows for variation over time and place while recognising sufficient shared characteristics to talk about the …
Yugonostalgia as a Kind of Love: Politics of Emotional Reconciliations through Yugoslav Popular Music
In the aftermath of the Yugoslav wars, listening to Yugoslav popular music has often been seen as a choice charged with political meaning, as a symptom of Yugonostalgia and as a statement against the nationalistic discourses of the post-Yugoslav states. In this article, I will show how the seemingly neutral concept of love is embedded in the music and memory practices in the post-Yugoslav context. In dealing with the issue of love, I draw on the …
Yugonostalgia in the market: Popular music and consumerism in post-Yugoslav space
This article deals with the post-Yugoslav popular music and Yugonostalgia. I elaborate on the issue, showing how in the complex post-Yugoslav space a new trend in the musical market appeared – a trend of using the culture of remembrance of Yugoslavia in order to make the products that might be interesting for the post-Yugoslav market. I discuss the reactions of the audience to such market
How Doing Sport Became a Culture: Producing the Concept of Physical Cultivation of the Yugoslavs
This article deals with the concept of physical culture as a project used for formation of Yugoslav identity and creation of a new ‘Yugoslav body’. After the Second World War, the cultural politics of Yugoslavia entailed multifarious strategies for constructing the entity of Yugoslavs who were supposed to be united under the motto ‘Bratstvo i jedinstvo’ (Brotherhood and unity). Being one of the crucial ways for building such a collective, physica…
Listening to Music in ‛Holy’ Space: The Role of 19th-Century Public Concert in the Construction of Kunstreligion
This paper deals with the 19th-century institution of public concert and its role in the construction of the concept of Kunstreligion. I elaborate on the concept showing how it was produced, by pointing out to the mechanisms that made the concert an alternative to the church service
The Songs We Love to Sing and the History We Like to Remember: Tereza Kesovija’s Comeback in Serbia
Less than a decade after the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1991, some of the popular music stars from its former republics began giving concerts in new post-Yugoslav spaces, provoking divergent receptions, especially in Serbia and Croatia. Taking as a point of departure recent developments in the sociology of the body, sociology of emotions, and affect theory, I discuss here the political implications of enjoyment in these concerts, particularly by sh…
Body Projects and the Regulation of a Normative Body: The Role of Physical Culture in Yugoslavia
U ovom radu bavim se konceptom fizicke kulture kao projektom koji je bio koriscen u procesu formiranja jugoslovenskog identiteta i stvaranja novog jugoslovenskog tela. Nadovezujuci se na sociologiju tela i sociologiju sporta, razmatram nacine na koje je telo konstruisano putem razlicitih diskursa i praksi. Analiziram aktivnosti sportskih saveza i posebno rada Saveza za fizicku kulturu Jugoslavije. Pokazujem kako se jugoslovensko telo izgrađivalo …
Elements of evolutionism in Max Weber?s socio-musical theory of rationalization
Maks Veber je smatrao da je zapadno društvo karakteristično po tendenciji ka ekstremnoj\nracionalizaciji. Definisana kao proces progresivne intelektualizacije, racionalizacija je\nsmatrana očiglednom u svim aspektima društvenog života. Međutim, Veber je tvrdio da\nje ovaj proces najočigledniji u muzici, te je „tezu o racionalizaciji” primenio na sve\naspekte muzike – melodiju, harmoniju, polifoniju, sisteme štimovanja i lestvica, kao i\ninstrumen…
The concept of music evolution in Herbert Spencer’s and Charles Darwin’s theories
This paper deals with the discourses on music in Herbert Spencer?s and Charles Darwin?s theories of evolution. Even though both Spencer and Darwin construed music as a carrier of the expression of affects and a part of a ubiquitous evolutional process towards ever increasing progress of culture, these authors? discourses differed from each other in the understanding of the origin and function of music. Darwin considered music as being one of the …
Concert as a bourgeois institution
This paper represents a socio-musical analysis of the importance and the role of the concert in 19th-century musical life. I describe characteristics of the concert as a social event, explain social mechanisms that made possible the constitution and existence of the concert, point to the importance of the social changes on the way this institution functioned, and I point to the certain values that were being made through the concert. Special atte…
