When alternative ends up as mainstream : Slovene popular music as cultural heritage
Stanković, Peter
One of the basic questions in cultural heritage studies is the relationship between accepted definitions of national cultural heritage and social power. In the case of Slovene popular music heritage, ...however, things are more complicated. Namely, the whole field is poorly organised, which means that the most influential work on Slovenian popular music heritage is not done by the institutions that are at least nominally in charge of this segment of the countryʼs cultural heritage, but by different popular music enthusiasts - i.e. the ones that are, for the most part, not related to established positions of power in society. Yet, this does not mean that the work of these enthusiasts is not important. After all, in the context of the lack of institutionalised contributions, it alone defines what Slovenian popular musicheritage is. To determine what kind of picture of Slovenian popular musicheritage this work portrays, its most important segments (all monographs,expert and scholarly articles, schoolbooks, and film and television documentaries that address aspects of Slovene popular music) are analysed. Results show that the publications cover mainly urban and alternative music genres. While this is interesting, there is at least one problematic side effect in this respect - namely that in this way, the music enjoyed by the majority of Slovenians is almost completely left out of the analytical focus. This means that not only is the picture of Slovenian popularmusic emerging from these accounts rather biased, but also that many problematic elements of this music are also left out of critical analysis.
