The global/local and omnivore/univore nexus: Class divisions and cultural tastes in contemporary Croatia
IN ENGLISH: Research on Bourdieu’s “homology” thesis and Peterson’s “omnivore” hypothesis, as well as research on cultural cosmopolitanism, are integral to academic considerations of the interrelationship between class and cultural tastes. This paper contributes to such work by examining cultural tastes in Croatia, a context that occupies a peripheral position in the global cultural system. Multiple correspondence analysis and hierarchical cluste…
Between Breaking Bad and Big Brother: Social Class and Television Preferences in Croatia

Data analysis is extracted from the survey 'Social Stratification in Croatia: Structural and Subjective Aspects', conducted on a nationally probabilistic sample of adult Croatian citizens. Factor analysis discovered two main dimensions of televis…

We all came from Soros’: Continuities and Discontinuities in the Croatian Visual Arts Scene in the 1990s and 2000s
Focusing on the period between 1994 and 2006, this study of the Soros Foundation and its spin-offs employs a mixed-method approach to explore the structure of the visual arts scene in Croatia and the role of Soros Foundation organisations within it. Based on a quantitative analysis of network visualisations and a qualitative structural analysis of narrative interviews, which are theoretically framed around the notions of network and complexity, t…
It’s actually a job you are married to: Work Experiences of Tattoo Artists in Croatia
The tattoo, once an indicator of belonging to subculture, deviant, and marginalized groups, or specific occupations, has become mainstream. Given that their social world has not yet been studied in much detail, this research aimed to explore the work experiences of tattoo artists. For the purposes of the research, semi-structured interviews with tattoo artists were conducted. The results show that for tattoo artists, tattooing is more than just a…

Banal Cosmopolitanism? Values and Cultural Repertoires of Youth in Adriatic Croatia
The field of cultural consumption features an abundant body of research addressing the relationship between the local and global. While this research concentrates on issues of cultural repertoires and socio-economic context, the investigation of values continues to be been under-researched. An extended interpretation of the concept of banal cosmopolitanism is proposed as an attempt to describe the relationship between cultural consumption and val…
Convergences and divergences of a Bourdieusian and occupation-based approach to social class: Evidence from Croatia
This article juxtaposes a Bourdieusian and an occupation-based approach to social class in order to explore how they converge or diverge when it comes to empirically identifying high-level class groups and exploring the relationship between ‘objective’ class position and class self-identification in Croatia. The data for this study comes from a survey conducted in 2017 on a nationally representative sample of adult citizens living in Croatia. Con…
Between engagement and disengagement in contemporary global culture. Types of cultural consumers among youth in Adriatic Croatia
Using data from a large survey (N = 2736) of high school students in six major cities of Adriatic Croatia, this paper examines the relationship between cultural consumption, values and parental cultural capital. In order to identify the main dimensions that structure the space of cultural practices and taste, multiple correspondence analysis was employed. We find that this space is primarily structured by a dimension differentiating between engag…
Nezavisna kulturna scena kao akter promjena u urbanom prostoru: Primjer Zadra
The paper presents the results of a research dealing with the independent cultural scene of the city of Zadar, whereby the emphasis was placed on the spatial aspects of independent culture's functioning. The continuing efforts of the scene's actors to achieve their right to space, and thus their right to the city, are perceived from the theoretical perspective of critical urban theory. In accordance with its cultural, artistic and societal agency…
