This study is dedicated to the analysis of cultural perceptions of the New Wave (musical movement) within the Yugoslav context in the past decade (up to the 2020s). The observance of a particular ...anniversary brings forth a multitude of meanings ascribed to the event through recollections and nostalgic narratives. Inspired by Bennett and Rogers' theoretical insights in "Popular Music Scenes and Culture of Memory" (2016) regarding "memory bursts" in creating and consuming popular music, the primary objective was to explore how the narrative of the New Wave is currently constructed. Through an analysis of various events organized in the former Yugoslavia over the past decade, revolving around the New Wave, this study aims to identify cultural perceptions of this phenomenon as well as to highlight its recurring and repetitive key elements. Each analyzed event received media coverage, thus making online sources a fertile resource base for this research.
Antropološko istraživanje – sprovedeno u periodu od 2020. do 2022. godine – dizajnirano je s ciljem da uputi u najvažnija pitanja koja se odnose na strukturalne preduslove za rad u starosti, ali i na ...motive trinaest sagovornika za preduzimanje poslovnih aktivnosti nakon penzionisanja. Na ovaj način bilo je moguće odgovoriti i na neka ključna pitanja koja se tiču kvaliteta života u starosti, i to na osnovu procena ljudi koji ga žive, što je u skladu sa antropološkom orijentacijom preduzetog kvalitativnog istraživanja. Rad u starosti bio je tako shvatan ili kao preimućstvo ili kao egzistencijalna nužnost, što je dalje imalo implikacija i na pojedine strategije delovanja pojedinaca. Među njima, kao najznačajnije, izdvajaju se one koje podrazumevaju nastavak rada u okviru ranijih obrazovnih i radnih usmerenja ili pak potpunu promenu delatnosti od one u kojoj su ostvarili pravo na penziju. Na osnovu dobijenih etnografskih podataka bilo je moguće konstatovati i specifičan vid preduzetništva poput srebrnog preduzetništva, pored rada u okviru neformalne ekonomije i/ili prema propisanim zakonskim rešenjima.

The development of the Internet and digital technologies has influenced the ever- greater migrations of printed content to the digital sphere (blogs, online media, Internet portals, social networks), ...which has also brought with itself changes in readers’ habits and in the concept and format of texts as wells. Music press is no exception in that respect. In the context of South European states, these processes coincide with the period of political, social, cultural and economic transition, giving rise to the development of numerous regional and local specific forms of popular culture. The existence of the SFRY as a shared state enabled the creation of an authentic cultural space, which continued to develop even after its disintegration. This paper endeavors to shed light on one segment of that local authenticity through an analysis of music press. The aim the authors of this paper aspire to achieve is the presentation of the development path of the printed media in the first place inthe Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, then in Serbia, as well as the reconstructions of the modality of the transformation of this media in the transition period from an anthropological perspective. The wish is to identify the perception and significance of music as a local culturalphenomenon through the qualitative analysis of the archival material and the available Internet sources as well, then to trace the cultural changes that have been going on over time as a result of global and local social and cultural turmoil. We do not refer to press only as the medium which has an informative role, but rather as the medium that reflects the local community’s attitudes, simultaneously constructing narratives on popular culture that are incorporated in our everyday life.
Based on the several decades-old tradition of presenting jazz through
festivals firstly in Yugoslavia, and consequently in Serbia, the Jazz in the
Garden manifestation was founded in Belgrade in ...2021. The name of the new
festival apostrophises the location of the event - ?Jevremovac? Botanical
Garden. With the anthropological analysis of this manifestation, we will
strive to demonstrate how the manifestation in development like this one
influences the construction process of one part of Belgrade?s identity
through its connections with the local jazz scene. We will also consider the
influence of the creation of different perceptions and new meanings of the
well-known city space like the Botanical Garden ?Jevremovac? in which the
festival is held.
U radu se istražuje reprezentacija jugoslovenskog novog talasa na osnovu analize dokumentarnog filma “Novi talas u SFRJ kao društveni pokret”. Iako je novi talas obuhvatan pojam koji se odnosi na ...različite sfere umetnosti, u ovoj analizi se razmatra kao muzički i kulturni fenomen. Teorijski okvir unutar kojeg se odvija istraživanje zasniva se na ideji da dokumentarni film može da nam pomogne da razumemo određeni period, da ga preispitamo i iznova (re)konstruišemo. Rezultati analize bi trebalo da pokažu na koji način narativ o novom talasu nastavlja da živi i trideset, četrdeset godina kasnije, te kako se (re)kreira i utvrđuje svakim novim snimljenim filmom.
This work explores the representation of the Yugoslav New Wave through the analysis of the documentary film “The New Wave in Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia as a Social Movement”. Although ...the New Wave covers many spheres of art, in this analysis we will investigate it as the musical and cultural phenomena. The theoretical frame within the analysis is based on the idea that a documentary film can help us understand a particular period as well as reinvestigate it, and (re)construct it from a new. The results from this analysis should be able to show how the narrative about the New Wave continues to live thirty, forty years later, as well as how it inspires to (re)create and appoint with every new film made.

In this paper, the concept of locality is problematised through perceiving the relationship between the global and the local on the example of the new-wave music scene that developed in Yugoslavia at ...the beginning of the 1980s from the Slovenian perspective. Created initially in London and New York, punk and then new wave sparked the development of an authentic music scene in Yugoslavia. Singing in the local languages and dealing with local themes made these music genres a local musical and cultural phenomenon, which is the underlying thesis of this paper. The theoretical framework in which that thesis is considered is founded on understanding new wave as a cultural phenomenon and the observation of the correlation between the concepts of music and the place through the notion of the music scene. The analysis has shown that new wave can be considered to be a local music phenomenon because an authentic music scene existed during the 1980s, but also that, in that period, punk was present to a greater extent, so, according to the respondents' perception, it is a more significant local marker than new wave.
Slušanje muzike danas je nezamislivo bez YouTube kanala putem kojeg ne samo što možemo doći do željenog zvuka, već i proširiti naša muzička saznanja virtuelnim putovanjima kroz prostor i vreme. ...Zahvaljujući novim tehnologijama, moguće je uploviti u muzičke svetove šezdesetih, osamdesetih, devedesetih i kroz muziku iz tog perioda oživeti minulu epohu makar na kratko. Takođe je moguće slušati rokenrol, klasičnu muziku, hip hop, tehno ili bilo koju drugu vrstu zvuka za koju se opredelimo. Iako je YouTube internet sajt koji omogućava ljudima da pokažu i vide bilo koji video klip, veliki deo materijala zapravo jeste muzičkog karaktera, te će taj sajt kao takav i biti analiziran u ovom radu. Ideja koja leži iza ovog istraživanja zasniva se na hipotezi da je YouTube kroz svoje decenijsko postojanje uticao na razumevanje, stvaranje i slušanje muzike, što i nastojim da pokažem kroz analizu slučaja beogradskog hora Viva Vox. Naime, posle jedne pesme postavljene na YouTube, životni put tog hora se promenio, te je od lokalnog hora postao svetski poznati fenomen. Analizu YouTube sajta zasnivam pre svega na njegovoj socijalnoj dimenziji što znači da ga posmatram kao važno “mesto” okupljanja gde se ljudi pod svojim pseudonimima osećaju slobodno da iskažu stav o onome što su čuli, a što zapravo često reflektuje njihov odnos prema svakodnevnom životu.
Listening to music nowadays is unthinkable without the YouTube Channel through which not only we can get to the desired sound, but also extend our music knowledge to virtual travels through space and ...time. Due to new technologies, it is possible to get into the music worlds of the sixties, eighties, nineties, and through the music from that period to revive the elapsed epoch, at least briefly. It is also possible to listen to Rock and Roll, classical music, hip hop, techno or any other type of sound that we define. Although YouTube is a website that allows people to show and watch any video clip (which does not have to be musical), much of the material is actually of a musical character, so this site as such will be analyzed in this paper. The idea behind this research is based on the hypothesis that YouTube, through its decade of existence, influenced the understanding, creation and listening to music, which I am trying to show through the analysis of the case study of the Belgrade choir Viva Vox. Namely, after one song uploaded on YouTube, the life of this choir has changed, wherefore the local choir has become a world famous phenomenon. I base my analysis on YouTube website primarily on his social dimension, which means that I consider this page as an important “place” of gathering, where people under their pseudonyms feel free to express their attitude about what they have heard, which in fact often reflects their relationship to everyday life.
