No full textPrecarious Working Conditions for Foreign Workers in Serbia: A Content Analysis of Online Articles from Daily Newspaper Danas about the Linglong Factory
No full textThis study aims to analyse the precarious working conditions experienced by foreign workers in Serbia at the Linglong tyre factory in Zrenjanin. It seeks to elucidate the nature of these conditions, particularly for labourers from Vietnam and India, in the context where numerous regulatory violations, misuse of public authority, and a blatant disregard for human rights have already marked the Linglong factory. The authors employ a content analysis method, focusing on secondary sources due to constraints in direct data collection from the foreign workforce. The empirical material of the research is articles accessed through a targeted query “Linglong workers” on the website of the daily newspaper Danas. The temporal scope of the analysis extends from October 2021 to October 2024, coinciding with significant media coverage of migrant workers’ hardships during the construction and inauguration of the factory. The primary units of analysis focus on article themes and concepts that reflect temporal, organisational, social and economic dimensions of precarity, such as the confiscation of passports, inhumane living conditions, irregular remuneration, unpaid overtime, failure to remit social contributions, denial of sick leave, prohibition of paid annual leave, obstruction of independent trade union organisation, and instances of belittlement. Additionally, the analysis seeks to evaluate the orientation associated with these themes and concepts, categorising them as positive, negative, or neutral. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the precarity and multilayered vulnerability of migrant workers in Serbia, particularly within the foreign investment framework. By focusing on the Linglong factory as a case study, the research illuminates the broader implications of precarious labour conditions in global supply chains.Conference New Divisions, Struggles, and Solidarities in South East Europe Belgrade, 13–14 June 202
Концепти национализма и патриотизма у српском политичком дискурсу: Средњи век, нови век, савремено доба Књига друга
No full textПројекат под називом Concepts of Nationalism and Patriotism in Serbian Political Discourse – Medieval, Modern, Contemporary (CoNatPat) завршава се зборником радова са конференције одржане 30. и 31. маја 2024. године на Филозофском факултету Универзитета у Београду. Сабрани прилози сведоче о тренутној фази дијахроних истраживања начина на које су српске политичке елите формулисале националне програме и осећања припадности сопственој заједници. Процеси градње колективних идентитета, конституисани на основама заједничких циљева, вредности и пракси те на односу заједнице према властитој прошлости, одвијају се посредством симболичких форми – знакова, текстова, ритуала, церемонија, споменика. Одређени спољним, као и унутрашњим чиниоцима, ти процеси, посматрани у контексту различитих историјских раздобља, од државе Немањића све до наших дана, позивају на дијалог стручњака из различитих области друштвено-хуманистичког спектра. У овом тому прикупљени су прилози који тој широј интердисциплинарној расправи доприносе бавећи се темама које се односе на раздобље до краја 19. века.Конференција „Концепти национализма и патриотизма у српском политичком дискурсу – Средњи век, нови век, савремено доба“, Филозофски факултет Универзитета у Београду 30. и 31. маја 202
An insight into dietary habits at the Monastery of St Barbara (south-western Serbia) during the early modern period: a zooarchaeological perspective
No full textFrom the late 14th century onwards, and throughout the early modern period, the Ottoman conquest of Serbia led to the devastation of churches and monasteries and the conversion of some sacred Christian sites into mosques. One of the active monasteries during this time was the Monastery of St Barbara, located near Novi Pazar (south-western Serbia). Written sources indicate that the monastery was built during the first half of the 16th century and continued in use into the 17th century, when it was burned down, as shown by archaeological excavations. For a short period of time, this monastery served as a temporary seat of the Bishopric of Ras. The excavations have also confirmed the existence of an older medieval cemetery beneath the monastery buildings and traces of presumably earlier building remains. Archaeological material of the 16th and 17th centuries was not abundant, consisting mostly of pottery, and less numerous small finds and faunal remains. This paper aims to present the results of faunal analysis from the Monastery of St Barbara and reveal the dietary habits and characteristics of the everyday life of the monastery’s inhabitants from a zooarchaeological perspective, as well as indirect traces of trade. The analysis suggests that domestic animal meat and fish were predominantly consumed. Sheep and goat remains were the most abundant, as the most significant source for exploitation of primary and secondary products. Albeit small, the faunal assemblage from a few contexts at St Barbara uncovered to date is significant since it is the only known early modern period monastic faunal collection from the territory of Serbia
Interpreting contested heritage: musealization of the idea of reconciliation on TikTok
No full textIn the domain of heritage
governance, interpreting the
remnants of the past that we
would prefer to forget presents
the greatest challenge for heritage
managers. Although this issue has
gained attention since the end of
World War II, civil and inter-ethnic
conflicts at the close of the 20th
century have further amplified its
relevance. These struggles were
characterized by the deliberate
destruction of others’ heritage. If
continuity with the past shapes
our identity, bestows uniqueness,
and differentiates us from others,
can these remnants, interpreted
from multiple perspectives,
foster reconciliation? Who should
determine what we will forget
and remember, what we will
preserve, and how we will interpret
it? These are just some of the
questions to which, even today, we
have no precise answers, despite
numerous UNESCO conventions
and published works by leading
experts. Starting from the premise
that it is essential to change
perspectives and approach the issue
from the grassroots level, through
engagement with local communities
and universities, this paper aims to explore whether and to what
extent it is possible to influence
young people’s attitudes toward
the unwanted legacy of the past;
how to musealize the concept of
reconciliation, and whether TikTok,
as a mode of communication,
serves as an appropriate tool for its heritagization. The research
was conducted during the summer
semester of 2024 as part of the
project Back to the Future or How to
Make Peace with the Past in order to
Create a Better Tomorrow Together,
supported through the call Towards

Parenting styles and social competencies in prediction of conflict management strategies of youths in Serbia
No full textConflicts are inevitable aspects of human behavior, but the lack of skills for constructively dealing with them contributes to many individual and social problems. Therefore, it is important to understand the factors that may contribute to a different approach to conflict situations. The study aimed to explore how the perception of parental styles and personal social competencies predict the conflict management strategies of young adults in Serbia. We have included parental styles based on the assumption that the parental model of communication could have impact on modeling social behavior of youths. Method: The sample included 288 participants (69% females), aged 18 to 30 years (M = 21.54, SD = 2.80). The applied inventories were The Dutch Test of Conflict Handling –DUTCH, reduced on three factors: Cooperative (α = .88), Competitive (α = .72), and Defensive conflict management strategy (α = .72); Multidimensional Social Competence Scale which included empathy (α = .87), emotional regulation (α = .81), verbal conversation skills (α = .78) and non-verbal skills (α = .87), and EMBU scale for parenting style - authoritarian (α = .87), permissive (α=.80), and democratic styles (α = .82). The hierarchical multiple regression analyses were applied with gender, age, and parental styles (first step) and social competencies (second step) as predictors and conflict management strategies as criterion variables. Results: The first model was the significant predictor of Cooperative strategy [F (5,277) = 3.955, p < .01, R2 = .07], but no individual variables (gender, age, or parental style) reached the significance. The social competencies had stronger predictive power (F (10,272) = 16.416, p < .001, R2 = .38) where each of them were significant: empathy (β = 0.20, p < .01), verbal communication (β = 0.21, p < .01), nonverbal communication (β = 0.22, p < .01) and emotional regulation (β = 0.25, p < .001). Parental styles didn’t predict the Defensive strategies [F (5,277) = 0.145, p = .981, R2 = .00]. At the same time, social competencies, although significantly contributing, explained just 7% of the variance [F(10,272) = 2.214, p < .05, R2 = .07], where only empathy had some predictive power (β = 0.20, p < .05). Competitiveness was significantly predicted in the first model [F(5,277)= 4.267, p<.01, R2 = .07], with gender (β = 0.13, p < .05), age (β = -0.157, p < .05), and democratic parenting style (β = 0.19, p < .01) as significant predictors .The second model had stronger predictive power [F(10,272) = 5.650, p < .001, R2 = .17], with verbal communication skills (β = -0.21, p < .01) and emotional regulation (β = -0.15, p < .05) as negative predictors. Conclusion: All social communication competencies predict Cooperativeness, but they are not strong predictors of Defensiveness, while low verbal and emotional regulation skills predict Competitiveness. Parental styles explained the lower level of variance in predicting all conflict management strategies which could result from the subjective perception of the parental style of their children.31. međunarodni naučni skup Empirijska istraživanja u psihologiji 28–30. mart 2025; Filozofski fakultet, Univerzitet u Beogradu - Institut za psihologiju i Laboratorija za eksperimentalnu psihologiju, saopštenje štampano u izvod
Teorije zavisnosti. Kapitalizam iz vizure periferije
No full textKnjiga "Teorije zavisnosti. Kapitalizam iz vizure periferije"
čitaocima na ovim prostorima po prvi put pruža jedan sistematičan teorijski uvid u prirodu
savremenog kapitalizma iz perspektive onih eksploatisanih društava i
društvenih grupa koje se nalaze izvan centara njegove reprodukcije. U
fokusu analize su (nepravedno) zanemarene teorije zavisnosti koje su svoj
uspon doživele sredinom prošlog veka,ali su ipak ostavile dugotrajni trag
na sociološku misao – pre svega kroz uticaj na teoriju svetskog sistema,
kao i raznorodne varijacije postkolonijalnih i dekolonijalnih kritika

(Re)présentation de la nouvelle vague de Belgrade dans le roman Quand tu dis que je suis à toi
No full textU ovom radu izložena je antropološka analiza kulturnih predstava o novom talasu koje je moguće pronaći u romanu "Kada kažeš da sam tvoj" autora Gorana Skrobonje. Radnja romana je smeštena u drugu polovinu osamdesetih godina dvadesetog veka. Glavni junak je mladić koji živi u Beogradu i pripada „novotalasnom svetu“ koji je nastao početkom osamdesetih, a svoj uticaj nastavio da širi u različitim oblicima tokom čitave decenije. Cilj ovog istraživanja jeste rekonstruisanje značenja koja se pripisuju novom talasu, tadašnjoj muzičkoj sceni, ali i Beogradu tog vremena, a koja predstavljaju proizvod sećanja i ličnih narativa. U metodološkom smislu, uvid u svakodnevicu i razmišljanja glavnog lika romana koristila sam kao izvor podataka za utvrđivanje značenjskih elemenata kojima se formira jedan specifičan oblik novotalasnog identiteta. Taj identitet nadilazi problematiku muzičke scene i preliva se na razumevanje i kreiranje jedne vrste „znanja“ kako o samom gradu, tako i o narečenom perioduThe New Wave movement in rock and roll music represents a significant
phenomenon within the local (Yugoslav) context. Its impact on the perception
of both the past and the present is reflected in the continuous and increasingly
pronounced need to organize tributes in the form of concerts, exhibitions, panel
discussions, documentary films, and novels. This paper presents an anthropological analysis of the novel When You Say That I Am Yours (Kada kažeš da
sam tvoj) by the writer Goran Skrobonja. The novel is set in the second half of
the 1980s, during the existence of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
The main protagonist, Lazar Petronijević, lives and grows up in Belgrade and
belongs to the ‘New Wave’ rock and roll scene that emerged in the early 1980s
and continued to exert its influence in various forms throughout the decade. The
aim of this research is to reconstruct the meanings attributed to the New Wave
movement, the music scene of the time, and the city of Belgrade during that
period, meanings that are shaped through memory and personal narratives. One
of the conclusions drawn from the analysis is that the reality presented in the
novel largely corresponds with the kind of (New Wave) reality that is frequently
discussed, written about, filmed, and continuously reproduced as the ‘everyday
life of the 1980s in Yugoslavia’. The novel’s analysis also reveals that although
the term New Wave is not explicitly mentioned in many instances, it is deeply
embedded in various meaningful elements identified in the text, such as descriptions of the city, public and private gathering places, radio and television shows,
and magazines. These elements, which form the basis of the socialization process centered around music, not only create a symbolic network of meanings
that shape the daily life of Lazar Petronijević but also ‘bring back’ to the 1980s
a particular generation of readers, to the time of their youth, allowing them
to evoke memories while simultaneously constructing retrospective meanings
that transcend individual experiences and evolve into shared cultural representations, thus making them anthropologically relevant.Dans ce travail est exposée l’analyse anthropologique des représentations
culturelles de la nouvelle vague que l’on peut trouver dans le roman Quand tu
dis que je suis à toi de Goran Skrobonja. L’intrigue du roman est située dans la
deuxième moitié des années 80 du vingtième siècle. Le personnage principal
est un jeune homme qui vit à Belgrade et appartient au « monde de la nouvelle
vague » qui s’est formé au début des années quatre-vingt, et qui a continué à répandre son influence sous des formes différentes au cours de toute la décennie.
L’objectif de cette recherche est la reconstruction des significations attribuées à
la nouvelle vague, la scène musicale d’alors, mais aussi à Belgrade de ce temps
là, celles-là étant le produit des souvenirs et des récits personnels. Du point de
vue méthodologique j’ai utilisé l’analyse du quotidien et des pensées du personnage principal du roman comme source des données pour l’établissement
des éléments de signification par lesquels se construit une forme spécifique de
l’identité « nouvelle vague ». Cette identité dépasse la problématique de la scène
musicale et s’élargit à la compréhension et la création d’une sorte de « savoir »
sur la ville elle-même, aussi bien que sur la période évoquée
Normalisation of Passivity During Childbirth – Positive Experiences and Trust in the Healthcare System in Serbia as Generators of Justifying Passivity
No full textIstraživanja i praksa pokazuju da je u zdravstvenom sistemu (ZS) Srbije pasivnost žene tokom porođaja normalizovana, te da reprezentaciju žene kao nužno pasivne imaju i zaposleni u ZS, ali i žene korisnice ZS. Rad ima za cilj da prikaže rezultate istraživanja normalizacije pasivnosti prilikom porođaja. Cilj istraživanja je bio da se ispita koji činioci povezani sa iskustvom sa ZS oblikuju takvu normalizaciju pasivnosti žene. Ispitanice (N=363, 252 sa iskustvom porođaja) su popunile skale poverenja u medicinsko osoblje, nepoverenja u ZS i pouzdanja u ZS, skalu učestalosti pozitivnih i negativnih iskustava sa ZS i skalu normalizacije pasivnosti prilikom porođaja. Ispitani faktori objašnjavaju jednu četvrtinu varijanse normalizacije pasivnosti prilikom porođaja. Preciznije, normalizaciji pasivnosti su sklonije ispitanice pouzdanije u ZS, koje su rađale i imale više pozitivnih, odnosno manje negativnih iskustava. Psihološki paradoksalno, pozitivan odnos sa ZS vodi preuzimanju norme o pasivnosti, dok negativna iskustva predstavljaju protektivni faktor – ZS uči žene pasivnosti, jer svako pozitivno iskustvo sa sistemom čini da se pasivnost opaža kao ispravna.Research and practice show that within the healthcare system (HCS) in Serbia,
women’s passivity during childbirth is normalised. Both HCS staff and female patients hold this representation of women as inherently passive. The paper aims to present research findings on passivity normalisation during childbirth. This study aimed
to investigate the factors related to HCS experiences contributing to this passivity
normalisation. Participants (N=363, 252 with childbirth experience) completed scales
measuring trust in medical staff, distrust in the HCS, reliance on the HCS, frequency
of positive and negative experiences with the HCS, and normalisation of passivity
during childbirth. The examined factors accounted for 25% of the variance in normalising passivity during childbirth. Specifically, participants who were more reliant on
the HCS, had given birth and reported more positive or fewer negative experiences,
were more likely to normalise passivity. Paradoxically, a positive relationship with the
HCS led to adopting the passivity norm, while negative experiences were a protective factor. The HCS appears to teach women passivity, as positive experiences within the system reinforce the perception of passivity as appropriate
