No full textU tekstu se analiziraju događaji posle poznate Osme sednice
CK SK Srbije kada je Slobodan Milošević pokrenuo akciju za smenjivanje
Ivana Stambolića sa čelne državne funkcije u Srbiji. Cilj ove akcije bio je
osvajanje apsolutne vlasti i uspostavljanje potpuno novih političkih odnosa u
Jugoslaviji.Slobodan Milošević started a wide political campaign in the late fall
of 1987 in order to politically eliminate Ivan Stambolić. Even after the
Eighth Session Milošević wanted to send a clear message to all of his adversaries
– he is the absolute leader of the Serbian communist party and the
Serbian nation. To that end he evoked the necessity of the „unity of socialist
forces“ in order for the Serbian society to quickly emerge from a political,
economic and moral crisis. At the same time, he was creating an image
of himself as a man of action that doesn’t hesitate and does not waste time
making „useless“ conversations. Through a well organized political action,
Ivan Stambolić was removed from the most important state function in Serbia, and by doing so Milošević suffocated every opposition inside the
Serbian communist party. As a leader, his offer was similar to Tito’s: egalitarianism,
a simplified picture of the world and how it works, a new religion
(belonging to a class was replaced by belonging to the nation), and – a
vision of a common enemy. Dangerous channel was opened for collective
venting of frustrations of the people. First among such enemies were „the
forces defeated in the Eighth session“ and Serbian „bureaucrats and officials“,
then Albanians and politicians from Vojvodina, then the Croats and
Slovenians, and finally wider range of threats within and outside
Yugoslavia.En automne 1987, Slobodan Milosevic lança une grande campagne
politique pour réaliser la "liquidation" politique d'Ivan Stambolic. Milosevic
voulait envoyer à tous ses adversaires potentiels le message clair qu’il était
le leader absolu du parti communiste et de l'Etat serbes. À l’époque, il ne
cessait de souligner la nécessité de "l'union des forces socialistes" pour que
la société serbe puisse au plus vite sortir de la crise politique, économique
et morale. Milosevic était en pleine offensive alors que la VIIIe session du
Comité central du parti communiste était largement interprétée comme un
moment-clé dans la résolution de cette crise. En même temps, il se construisait
une image d’homme d'action qui n'hésitait pas et ne perdait pas de
temps dans les discussions "inutiles". Par une action politique bien organisée,
Ivan Stambolic fut révoqué de la fonction officielle la plus importante
en Serbie et Milosevic étouffa toute opposition possible au sein du parti
communiste serbe. Au peuple serbe épuisé par les crises, il offrit la même
chose que Tito autrefois : un leader, l'égalitarisme, une vision simplifiée du
monde et de ses relations, l'appartenance à la nouvelle religion
(l'appartenance à la classe était remplacée par l'appartenance à la nation),
et l'ennemi. Avec lui, sans aucun danger, la masse pouvait se débarrasser
de ses propres frustrations. Le premier ennemi, c’étaient les "forces battues
à la Huitième session", ensuite les "bureaucrates" et les fonctionnaires communistes, puis les Albanais, les "autonomistes", les Croates et les Slovènes,
et enfin les "destructeurs mondiaux de la Yougoslavie".Published177016Rad je deo projekta Srpsko društvo u jugoslovenskoj državi u 20. veku – između

Српски и словеначки интелектуалци уочи распада Југославије 1986–1989.:
Full text linkУ тексту се анализира сукоб српских и словеначких интелектуалаца хуманистичког и друштвеног
„типа“ (историчари књижевности и књижевници, филозофи, социолози, политички теоретичари) у годинама
уочи распада Југославије. Они су били предводници „новог таласа“ који је из темеља уздрмао комунистичку Југославију и на крају довео до њеног слома. И српска и словеначка интелектуална сцена позиционирале су се као алтернатива политичком систему у својим републикама.
Посебно место у том процесу имали су писци, они су оживели стари романтичарски наратив о „одбрани нације“.The paper discusses the confrotation
between Serbian and Slovenian intellectuals (literary
historians and writers, philosophers, sociologists,
political theorists) in the years before the breakup of
Yugoslavia. They were the leaders of “a new wave”
which had fundamentally shaken communist Yugoslavia
and in the end led to its breakdown. The Serbian and
Slovenian intellectual scenes positioned themselves as
an alternative to the political system in their republics.
Writers had a special places in that process by reviving
the old romantic narrative about “the defence of the
nation”.Publishe
RASPAD SFRJ: KRIZA, EROZIJA, PAT: kriza, erozija, rat
No full textČlanak se bavi prerastanjem jugoslovenske krize koja je
obeležila osamdesete godine u paralizu najavljenu prekidom poslednjeg
kongresa SKJ i pregrupisavanjem političkih snaga tokom 1990. Razlaz
republičkih rukovodstava praćen rascepom Predsedništva SFRJ, te raskorak između Predsedništva, Saveznog izvršnog veća i vojnog vrha, prati se kroz neuspešna nastojanja da se zaustavi erozija bezbednosne situacije u SFRJ krajem 1990. i početkom 1991. Kroz dokumentarni materijal, medijske izvore i sećanja protagonista analiziraju se aktivnost i
uzajamni odnosi ključnih aktera ovih procesa.The article is scrutinizing stages of disintegration of SFRY, from the crisis
which characterized the 80s to erosion heralded with the disintegration of LCY and
realignment of political players during 1990. The collision between leaderships of
republics, which produced divisions within the state Presidency, as well as collision
between the Presidency, Federal Executive Council and the military is traced through the failed attempts to stop the erosion of the security situation in Yugoslavia
at thte end of 1990 and beginning of 1991. Through the documents, media sources
and the memories of participants, the article analyses activity and mutual raltions
of key actors in the period of deepening og Yugoslav crisis in the direction of
paralysis and violent disintegration of the statePublished177016Članak je deo projekta Srpsko društvo u jugoslovenskoj državi u 20. veku – između

Power(lessness) of Atrocity Images: Bijeljina Photos between Perpetration and Prosecution of War Crimes in the Former Yugoslavia:
Full text linkThe wars in the former Yugoslavia coincided with both the rise of international
transitional justice discourses and with a revolution in visual recording, resulting in an
abundance of visuals documenting extreme violence. This article investigates the conditions
behind the creation of such visual material, as well as the impact of its circulation
on the delivery of justice in the former Yugoslavia. The visual record of unpunished
crimes is examined in one of the most infamous wartime photographs, taken in the
Bosnian city of Bijeljina in the spring of 1992. In it, a young, armed man in a military
uniform, sunglasses on his head, cigarette in his hand, attempts to hold his balance
while kicking a dead woman. This photo became one of the quintessential representations
of war in Bosnia. The circumstances of its creation, circulation and contestation
are paradigmatic of the troubled process of coming to terms with the criminal past in
Serbia, with wider ramifications for the use of visuals in other regions affected by mass
violence

A Crack in the Wall of Denial: The Scorpions Video in and out of the Courtroom:
Full text linkThe chapter scrutinizes the impact of a video of executions filmed by the Serbian unit Scorpions in the process of facing the crimes of recent past committed at the territory of former Yugoslavia. To that end, the usage of the video in the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and in Serbian courtrooms is analysed in the context of the ongoing debate on didactic purposes of the trials. The afterlife of the video outside of the courtroom and its role in confronting the denial is also scrutinized in the attempt to assess its effect in changing the attitudes during post-war transition.Publishe
