Results of the analysis of faunal remains from the Medieval Site of Gradužine in Debrc
No full textЛокалитет Градужине, смештен у селу Дебрц на десној обали Саве, истраживан је 2022. године од стране Завода за заштиту споменика културе Ваљево. Том приликом, шест мањих сонди обухватило је делове бедема и објекат 1. На основу покретног материјала, истражени слој датован је у период 10–11. века. Археозоолошка анализа животињских остатака открива велику заступље- ност сисара, међу којима су најчешће домаће врсте (свиња, говеда, овце, козе, коњ, пас), уз присуство дивљачи (дивља свиња, јелен, срна, зец). Препознати су остаци птица (кокошка, гуска) и риба (кечига, деверика, шаран, штука, смуђ, сом), што указује на разноврсну исхрану локалног становништва.Rescue archaeological excavations at the Debrc – Gradužine site in
the municipality of Vladimirci were conducted in 2022. The campaign
focused on six units, including sections of the rampart and Structure 1.
Based on the unearthed artefacts, the excavated layer was dated to the
10th–11th centuries AD.
During the excavations, 1325 faunal remains were manually collected. The majority of the sample consists of mammals, although remains
of birds and fish were also uncovered. The most commonly found remains belong to domestic mammals, including pigs, cattle, sheep, goats,
horses, and dogs. Wild mammals such as wild boar, red deer, roe deer,
and hare were also identified. Among the bird remains, those of chickens and geese were discovered, while fish were represented by sterlet,
common bream, common carp, pike, pikeperch, and catfish.
According to archaeozoological data, it could be assumed that the
diet of the inhabitants of Debrc – Gradužine fortress was mainly oriented towards the exploitation of pig and cattle. The age data indicate that
pig, sheep, and goat herding was primarily oriented toward meat, with
some individuals being kept for a longer period for the exploitation of
secondary products. On the other hand, cattle were primarily raised for
secondary products, as well as for meat production.
The faunal assemblage collected in 2022 from the Debrc – Gradužine site is significant, as animal remains from the early Medieval period
from the territory of present-day Serbia are rarely analysed. Although
modest, this collection offers valuable insights into the dietary practices of the fortress's inhabitants
A Contribution to the History of the Yugoslav Idea: The Influence of Great Britain on Serbian Identity Politics (until 1918)
No full textУ раду се истражује једна традиција у британској спољнополитичкој мисли и пракси. Она је полазила од непријатељства према Русији, а
у Србима и осталим балканским православним народима није видела само
њена оруђа. Предлагана је замена непосредне османске власти на Балкану
„појасом“ аутономија, које би могле да буду поуздана брана пред продором
Русије. Да би се то постигло, требало је неговати самосвест вођа тих народа
и обећавати им територијална проширења. Национални идентитет Срба не
би се више заснивао на вери, која их је водила ка Русима, него на језику и
пореклу, факторима који су их окретали ка сродницима у суседним земљама. Једна струја те школе мишљења залагала се за аустријску окупацију тих
земаља, као најпоузданије средство против руске експанзије. У Првом светском рату уместо Аустроугарске створен је нов „појас“ независних држава
у источној Европи, са циљем обуздавања Русије и Немачке. У новој, југословенској држави требало је, међутим, обезбедити превласт римокатолика
над православним, вечито проруским Србима.The “external factor” was not the only element that led to the creation of Yugoslavia; however, the same can be said for the “internal factors”, such as, for example,
the dynamics of South Slavic nationalisms. This decisive historical event, which
would fundamentally change Serbian perceptions of the national identity and
patriotism, was not only the result of the actions of Great Britain; among other
things, in order to gain a complete picture, it is necessary to study the influence of
other Great Powers on the changes in Serbian identity.
Nevertheless, one current within different generations of British writers and
officials worked, for almost an entire century, on devising solutions that led to the
creation of the Yugoslav state. The primary source of this tradition in British foreign policy was hostility toward Russia and, much later, Germany. On the paths
of expansion of these states, it was necessary to strengthen existing or build new
state structures. The role of such “buffer states” had long belonged to the Habsburg Monarchy and the Ottoman Empire.
In the case of the Serbs and other Balkan Orthodox peoples, this current
did not see them as Russia’s instruments alone. It was observed that their selfawareness and desire to make their own decisions led them into conflicts with
the protectorally inclined Russia. Therefore, this self-awareness needed to be nurtured and encouraged.
In this context, territorial expansion promises were particularly useful. In the
case of the Serbs, who adhered to three different religions, it was necessary to redefine their existing national identity, which was primarily based on religion, and
direct it towards language, ethnic origin, and free choice, “a daily plebiscite”, as was done in Western and Central Europe. For Orthodox Serbs, religion led them
to Russia; this change was supposed to direct them toward their “non-Orthodox
brethren” in neighboring lands. The Poles and Czechs played an important role
in shaping such a policy toward the Serbs. In addition, the Serbs were constantly
warned about Russia’s territorial ambitions, as well as the supposed indifference
of Britain and France toward the Balkan territories.
The creation of a “belt” of autonomies within the Ottoman Empire was
meant to be a guarantee for the defense of this decaying empire, but also to secure
“reserve positions” for Britain’s interests in case of its collapse. Deep-rooted cultural prejudices and distrust toward Orthodox Serbs were evident in the fact that,
within such autonomous, united countries, constitutional solutions were to give
precedence to Roman Catholics and Muslims.
Within this current of British political thinking, there was a belief from the
outset that the most secure barrier against Russian and later German penetration
into these lands would still be the Habsburg Monarchy. When, during the Great
War, it finally sided with Germany, new borders were drawn across Eastern and
Southeastern Europe along the lines of these ideas. New independent countries,
from the Baltic to the Adriatic, took on the role of “buffer states”, meant to contain Germany and Russia. Within this solution, the Yugoslav state was established.Конференција „Концепти национализма и патриотизма у српском политичком дискурсу – Средњи век, нови век, савремено доба“, Филозофски факултет Универзитета у Београду 30. и 31. маја 2024. - Саопштења штампана у целин

Education and learning of gifted adults in the age of artificial intelligence: andragogical challenges and perspectives
No full textIn today's era of rapid technological change, questions of giftedness and the
application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the context of adult education present
new challenges and opportunities for enhancing the education and learning
processes of gifted adults. Although giftedness has traditionally and predominantly
been studied within the framework of formal education for children and youth, the
specificities of adult learning and developmental potential emphasize the growing
need to explore this phenomenon within the field of andragogy. Simultaneously, the
integration of AI into adult education and learning processes raises issues related to
personalized learning, adaptive systems, ethical dilemmas, and the evolving roles of
adult education professionals in the digital age. This review paper aims to analyze
theoretical approaches to giftedness in adulthood, identify the specific needs of gifted adults in learning and development processes, and examine the potentials and
limitations of applying AI in the education and learning of gifted adults. Particular
focus is placed on the interrelationship of these phenomena - on how AI can support
education and learning tailored to gifted individuals, on the one hand, and how
gifted adults can contribute to the development and implementation of AI in
education and learning, on the other. The paper relies on a systematic analysis of
secondary sources, multidisciplinary theoretical frameworks, and current practices in
adult education. The results of the analysis indicate the need to redefine traditional
andragogical models in light of digital technologies, as well as the importance of
recognizing and fostering the potential of gifted individuals throughout their lifespan
- viewing that potential as both a component and a determinant of AI use in
education. Furthermore, certain ethical dilemmas, risks of marginalization, and
challenges of digital inequality have emerged, all of which may affect the
accessibility and quality of education and learning for gifted adults in the age of AI.
The analysis presented in this paper aims to make a modest contribution to the
development of contemporary andragogical approaches that acknowledge the
complexity of the relationship between technology, giftedness, and adult education
and learning, while emphasizing the need for new competencies and redefined
professional roles for adult education practitioners.U savremenom dobu ubrzanih tehnoloških promena, pitanja darovitosti i primene
veštačke inteligencije u kontekstu obrazovanja odraslih otvaraju nove izazove i
mogućnosti za unapređenje procesa obrazovanja i učenja odraslih darovitih osoba.
Iako se darovitost tradicionalno i dominantno proučava u okviru formalnog
obrazovanja dece i mladih, specifičnosti učenja i razvojnih potencijala odraslih
naglašavaju rastuću potrebu za istraživanjem ovog fenomena u okvirima
andragogije. Paralelno, integracija veštačke inteligencije u procese obrazovanja iučenja odraslih postavlja pitanja personalizacije učenja, adaptivnih sistema, etičkih
dilema i promenjene uloge stručnjaka iz sfere obrazovanja odraslih u digitalnom
dobu. Ovaj pregledni rad ima za cilj analizu teorijskih pristupa darovitosti u
odraslom dobu, identifikaciju specifičnih potreba darovitih odraslih u procesu učenja
i razvoja, te da ispita potencijale i ograničenja primene veštačke inteligencije u
obrazovanju i učenju darovitih odraslih osoba. Poseban fokus stavljen je na
međusobnu interakciju ovih fenomena, kao i na to kako veštačka inteligencija može
podržati obrazovanje i učenje usmereno ka darovitima, s jedne strane, i kako daroviti
odrasli mogu doprineti razvoju i primeni veštačke inteligencije u obrazovanju i
učenju, s druge strane. Rad se oslanja na sistematsku analizu sekundarnih izvora,
multidisciplinarne teorijske okvire i aktuelne prakse u obrazovanju odraslih.
Rezultati sprovedene analize ukazuju na potrebu redefinisanja tradicionalnih
andragoških modela u svetlu digitalnih tehnologija, kao i na važnost prepoznavanja i
razvoja potencijala darovitih pojedinaca tokom celog životnog veka, istovremeno ga
posmatrajući kao komponentu i determinantu obrazovne upotrebe veštačke
inteligencije. Takođe, iskristalisale su se izvesne etičke dileme, rizici marginalizacije
i izazovi digitalne nejednakosti, koji mogu uticati na dostupnost i kvalitet
obrazovanja i učenja za darovite odrasle u eri veštačke inteligencije. Analizom, čiji
su rezultati prikazani u ovom radu, nastoji se dati skroman doprinos razvoju
savremenih andragoških pristupa koji uvažavaju kompleksnost odnosa između
tehnologije, darovitosti, obrazovanja i učenja odraslih, uz naglašavanje potrebe za
novim kompetencijama i redefinisanim profesionalnim ulogama stručnjaka u
obrazovanju odraslih.Međunarodni naučni skup "Daroviti i veštačka inteligencija: izazovi i ograničenja u podsticanju izvrsnosti darovitih", Vršac, 8.7.2025. - Saopštenje sa međunarodnog skupa štampano u izvod
Повезаност маладаптивних схема и сексуалних понашања младих девојака
No full textСтудија истражује однос маладаптивних схема, ступања у „пријатељства са повластицама“ (ПСП) и друга сексуална понашања. ПСП се дефинишу као пријатељства која укључују сексуалну компоненту без романтичне обавезе. Маладаптивне схеме (нпр. деградирање и одбацивање)
представљају понављајуће емоционалне и когнитивне обрасце који могу допринети емоционалним тешкоћама, незадовољавајућим односима и понављању дисфункционалних животних образаца. Партнерски односи и сексуална понашања данашњице пролазе кроз транзицију, док различите форме могу бити узрок и последица психолошких теешкоћа. Постоји мали број истраживања сексуалних понашања која их повезују са схемама, као важним практичним психотерапијским алатом. Ова студија представља важан допринос с обзиром да резултати могу указати на конкретне превентивне и интервенције у раду са клијентима. Узорак је пригодан, прикупљен онлине и чинило га је 529 хетеросексуалних жена од 18 до 30 година (M = 22,52, SD = 2,58), које су дале податке о својим
искуствима и тренутном укључивању у ПСП односе. Схеме су процењене помоћу Упитника родитељства (YPI-R2) за процену перципираних мајчинских стилова родитељства са 36 ставки и шест схема (α > .70). Резултати показују да 4,5% испитаница никада није имало сексуални однос, а узраст првог сексуалног односа кретао се од 14 до 26 година. Такође, 18,5% је известило о укључености у ПСП однос у последњих 12 месеци или тренутно, док је 39,1% имало ПСП искуство барем једном.
Пронађене су значајне корелације између узраста првог сексуалног односа и схеме кажњавање (r(523) = -.13, p =.000), укупног броја сексуалних партнера и схема деградирање и одбацивање (r(518) = -.14, p
=.000) и кажњавање (r(523) = -.11, p=.000), укупног броја ПСП партнера и схема деградирање и одбацивање (r(518) = .09, p=.01) и претерано заштићивање (r(514) = -.08, p =.01), и задовољства ПСП односима и схема емоционална инхибиција и депривација (r(201) = -.16, p=.000). Ограничења студије су веома ниске корелације, неке и неинтерпретабилне, које ће кроз наредне студије бити проверене, и
полна структура узорка. Мушких испитаника било је 8%, а због значајних разлика анализе нису рађене на целом узорку. Резултати наглашавају значајну повезаност између схема, сексуалних понашања и
задовољства. Схеме утичу не само на време и учесталост сексуалне активности, већ и на квалитет и тип односа. Бављење схемама кроз терапијске или образовне интервенције могло би подстаћи здравије
обрасце односа и веће сексуално благостање.Национални научно-стручни скуп 73. Конгрес психолога Србије, Дивчибаре, 4–7. јун 2025. - Саопштење штампано у извод

Protomaster of the frescoes in the paracclesion of the Holy Anargyroi in the Vatopedi Monastery (1365/1366-1368)
No full textУ најновије време у научној литератури је публикована фреска Светог Јована Златоустог из централне апсиде параклиса Светих Бесребреника у Ватопеду, која припада првобитном слоју живописа из времена оснивања параклиса и његовог ктитора, серског деспота Јована Угљеше (1365–1371). Квалитетна савремена фотографија фреске Светог Јована Златоустог пружа могућност вишестране анализе. Из истраживања иконографије наведене фреске и натписа на њој, односно њеним поређењем са одговарајућим фрескама у манастиру Андреашу, а посебно са фреском истог светитеља у тој цркви, произилази да је фреску Светог Јована Златоустог у ватопедском параклису насликао митрополит Јован Зограф. Истраживања у овом раду доводе такође до закључка да је исти сликар који ју је извео насликао и представу Христа Агнеца изнад олтарског прозора, ликове арханђела Михаила и Гаврила који се клањају Богородици у конхи апсиде, као и првобитну фигуру Светог Григорија Богослова поред Светог Јована Златоустог и првобитну ктиторску композицију са ликом деспота Јована Угљеше у припрати. Готово све првобитне фреске ове мале, али веома важне цркве у ватопедској светињи биле су премазане 1847. године и тако постале недоступне очима стручњака. Иако је број фресака које је митропoлит Јован Зограф извео у овом сликаном светогорском ансамблу невелик, оне имају изузетну уметничку вредност и посебан значај, будући да померају сазнања о времену деловања митрополита Јована Зографа, сведочећи да је он већ почетком друге половине шездесетих година XIV века био увелико оформљен, искусан и афирмисан уметник. Такође, оне показују да су припадници династије Мрњавчевића већ од тог времена познавали овог еминентног сликара и ангажовали га за потребе украшавања својих задужбина. У раду је извршено и прецизније датовање фресака параклиса: првобитна ктиторска фреска деспота Јована Угљеше, за коју је, између осталог, основано изнето мишљење да је очувана испод новог слоја, и која је најпре насликана, датована је у време 1365/1366, а првобитне фреске у беми централне апсиде, насликане непосредно након ње, датоване су у време 1366–1368. године.The original fresco of St. John Chrysostom in the central apse of the parecclesion of Holy Anargyroi in Vatopedi monastery on Holy Mount Athos, the foundation of Serbian Despot Jovan Uglješa (1365–1371; fig. 1), has been recently published in scholarly literature for the first time (fig. 2, 3a–б, 5). In 1847, new frescoes were painted over all the original ones (fig. 7a, 8). In 1995, several original frescoes from the time of Despot Jovan Uglješa were cleaned and made visible, but only few of them have been published (Archangels Michael and Gabriel in the central apse). The recently published high-quality photograph of the original fresco of St. John Chrysostom in the central apse (fig. 2, 3a–б, 5) offers a comprehensive analysis, on the basis of which this fresco is, in the present paper, attributed to Serbian painter Metropolitan Jovan Zograf. In addition to the iconographic analysis, the handwriting of this artist provides definitive evidence of his authorship of the frescoes (fig. 3а–5). It is demonstrated that the letters next to the figure of St. John Chrysostom in the parecclesion of Holy Anargyroi are identical to the letters next to the figure of the same saint in the Andreaš monastery (fig. 3a–5). Furthermore, the palaeographic analysis and comparison of the texts written on the rolls of St. John Chrysostom in Holy Anargyroi (the Prayer of Offering) and of the same saint and of St. Peter of Alexandria in Andreaš leads to the same conclusion (fig. 5, 6). In the same way, the study shows that Metropolitan Jovan Zograf also painted the representation of Christ Melismos on the Holy Table next to the figure of St. John Chrysostom and the figures of Archangels Michael and Gabriel worshipping the Mother of God in the register above the scene of Officiating of Church Fathers (fig. 2). On the same basis, it can be stated with certainty that Metropolitan Jovan Zograf also painted the original figure of St. Gregory the Theologian, which is still waiting to be uncovered from the new, 19th-century fresco layer (fig. 3b, 5, 8). Finally, it can be concluded with certainty that Metropolitan Jovan Zograf, in the capacity of a protomaster, painted the original 14th-century ktetor’s composition featuring Serbian Despot Jovan Uglješa Mrnjavčević with the model of the parecclesion in his left hand (repainted in 1847). Several facts support this conclusion. The Greek painter, Matthew, who repainted the parecclesion frescoes in the 19th century repeated the appearance and gestures of the original 14th-century frescoes. Consequently, he also repeated the appearance of Serbian Despot Jovan Uglješa, leaving the original fresco below his own new layer intact (as is the case with the already mentioned original frescoes in the central apse which have been entirely preserved under the new 19th-century fresco layer). The conclusion that the original fresco depicting Serbian ktetor is still preserved can be further proven by the comparison of the existing portraits of Despot Jovan Uglješa: the repainted fresco in the narthex of the parecclesion of Holy Anargyroi (fig. 7a) and the original, posthumous portrait preserved partially in the narthex of the Monastery of St. John Prodromos on Mount Menoikeion (fig. 7б), executed shortly after his death in 1371. Both the repainted portrait from the Monastery of Vatopedi and the posthumous portrait of Serbian Despot in the Monastery on Mount Menoikeion faithfully illustrate his portrait traits, showing strong similarity with the portrait traits of his elder brother Vukašin Mrnjavčević in Psača Monastery. The portrait of Despot Jovan Uglješa in the parecclecion of Holy Anargyroi was executed during the co-rulership of Serbian Tsar Stefan Uroš V (1355–1371) and King Vukašin (1365–1371). It was the time of great flourishing of Holy Mount Athos, which was under the Serbian rule and under the protectorate of the Nemanjić and Mrnjavčević dynasties. Despite the limited number of frescoes painted by Metropolitan Jovan Zograf in the parecclesion of Holy Monastery of Vatopedi, they have the highest artistic value, as they enhance our understanding of the era in which he worked, demonstrating that he had already established himself as a highly skilled painter by the beginning of the latter half of the 1360s. The paper offers a more precise dating of the frescoes of the pareclession: the original donor’s composition representing Despot Jovan Uglješa, is dated to 1365/1366, as it was created first, whereas the frescoes located in the bema of the central apse, which were painted immediately afterward, are dated to 1366–1368
A Cross‑cultural Study On the Association Between Societal Conditions and the Idealization of Happiness
No full textAlthough most people aspire to be happy, the extent to which people pursue or idealize experiencing high levels of happiness does differ according to sociocultural
context. This study was designed to elucidate which societal and cultural indicators are the most conducive to fostering high levels of happiness idealization. To
accomplish this goal, we measured levels of happiness idealization for 11,170 participants residing in 43 different countries. We utilized machine learning (random
forests approach) to examine how well an array of 18 different societal and culturallevel indicators were associated with country-level happiness idealization. We found
robust and consistent evidence that greater cultural religiosity was associated with
reduced idealization of happiness across four different types of happiness, including life satisfaction and interdependent happiness. These findings demonstrated that
how much happiness is pursued varies considerably according to sociocultural context and highlights the role of cultural religiosity in shaping how people think about
high levels of happiness
On the trail of Pithoi Production. La Tène Pottery Kiln from the site of Adžine Njive – Brajkovo
No full textЗаштитна археолошка истраживања локалитета Аџине њиве – Брајково у селу Кленак, у општини Рума, спроведена су током 2021. и 2022. године на траси будућег аутопута Рума-Шабац-Лозница. Током радова је, у оквиру латенског насеља, истражена добро очувана керамичарска пећ. Она припада типу вертикалних пећи са дводелним ложиштем, укопаним у лесну подлогу и преграђеним средишњим потпорним зидом на два једнака сегмента, а посебно се истиче својом масивношћу. Пречник решетке износи 213 cm. Јама из које се приступало пећи налазила се непосредно испред ложишта. Затечена је испуњена остацима горења и лепа, и великом количином уломака познолатенске керамике. Након престанка рада пећи, искоришћена је за одбацивање керамичких производа. Керамички фрагменти из простора за печење били су изложени секундарном печењу, на основу чега је закључено да је реч о секундарно депонованим уломцима. Резултати типолошке анализе керамичког материјала из простора за печење указују на издвајање посуда великих димензија – биконичних питоса, чија је производња у оваквој пећи била могућа управо захваљујући њеним великим димензијама. Осим тога, материјал из Кленка може директно или индиректно да буде потврда различитих секвенци у оперативном ланцу производње керамике.Rescue archaeological research at the site of Adžine Njive – Brajkovo,
in the village of Klenak, in the municipality of Ruma in Syrmia, northern Serbia,
was carried out in 2021 and 2022 on the route of the future Ruma–Šabac–Loznica
highway. During the works, a well-preserved pottery kiln was explored within the
La Tène settlement. It belongs to the type of updraught kilns with a two-part combustion chamber, dug into the loess subsoil and divided by a central retaining wall
into two equal segments, and is particularly notable for its massiveness. The diameter of the flue plate is 213 cm. The pit from which the kiln was accessed/stokers
pit was located directly in front of the firebox. It was found filled with burning and
daub residues, and a large number of fragments of late La Tène pottery. After the
kiln ceased operation, it was used for discarding pottery and other waste.
The pottery fragments from the firing area were exposed to secondary
firing. It was the confirmation that they were secondarily deposited. Typological
analysis of the ceramic material from the firing area was conducted. The following types were identified: bowls, beakers, pots, amphorae and pithoi. The
large-sized vessels – biconical pithoi were of particular interest, given that their
production in such a kiln was possible thanks to its large dimensions.
In addition, the material from Klenak can directly or indirectly confirm
different sequences in the chaîne opératoire of pottery production. There was no
concrete evidence about the procurement of clay, admixtures, and fuel for the
kiln. It is assumed that the clay preparation was carried out in the immediate vicinity of the firing site, analogous to other La Tène sites where pottery workshops
were confirmed. Based on the macroscopic analysis of the final products, it can
be concluded that the following admixtures were added to the clay: sand, pebbles,
graphite, mollusc shells, and mica. The vessels that could have been fired in the kiln were made on a wheel or without the use of a wheel. The large pithoi were
made on a slow, manual wheel, as indicated by impurities in the clay (pebbles and
sand). The pithoi bear witness to the fact that they were made in stages when the
coil building technique was used before shaping on a slow wheel.
The final surface treatment in a number of cases of the pottery assemblage included decoration by polishing, incising, painting, and attaching decorative appliqués. Direct confirmation of pottery firing is the kiln with traces of use,
the most notable of which are the decomposed calotte and the presence of plugs
that regulated the air flow and firing temperature. The finished vessels could have
ended up in various places in the settlement of Adžine Njive through trade, and
possibly in other La Tène settlements as well, as indicated by the morphological
similarity with pottery from other archaeological contexts. The longevity of at
least some of these products, and therefore their value, is evidenced by a repaired
pithos. The final stage in the operational chain – conversion of pottery into waste
material and its disposal – is illustrated by both the kiln itself and the pit from
which the kiln was accessed, which were used to dispose of pottery and other
waste after the kiln ceased to be in use

Posebna pažnja posvećena je analizi četiri odabrana audiovizuelna narativa koji, iako fiktivni, u sebi nose snažno utemeljenje u društveno-političkoj stvarnosti i biopolitičkim režimi-ma vlasti: televizijska serija The Handmaid’s Tale (Sluškinjina priča, četiri sezone 2017–2022, kreatora Brusa Milera/Bruce Miller), film Children of Men (Deca ljudi, rež. Alfon-so Cuarón, 2006), La historia oficial (Zvanična verzija, rež. Luis Puenzo, 1985) i Madres paralelas (Paralelne majke, rež. Pedro Almodóvar, 2021). Kroz detaljnu naratološku i diskurzivnu analizu, rad istražuje načine na koje se žene i njihova reproduktivna moć predstavljaju kao prostor biopolitičkog nadzora, kontrole i otpora. U fokusu su različiti modaliteti institucionalnog i sistemskog nasilja, uključujući prisilne trudnoće, zabranu pristupa abortusu, gubitak roditeljskog staranja i ideološko preoblikovanje majčinske uloge. Izabrani filmovi i serija se analiziraju ne samo kao estetski i kulturni artefakti, već i kao aktivni sudionici u stvaranju društvenih narativa o telu, moći i pravu na izbor. Korišćenjem interdisciplinarnog pristupa, rad ukazuje na sposobnost savremenog filma da deluje kao medij društvene kritike i refleksije, dok istovremeno otvara prostor za feminističku teorijsku artikulaciju otpora.This paper analyzes the biopolitical control of the female body and repro-ductive functions through the lens of the theoretical concepts of Michel Foucault and Giorgio Agamben. Special attention is given to the analysis of four selected audiovisual narratives which, although fictional, are deeply rooted in socio-political reality and bi-opolitical regimes of power: the television series The Handmaid’s Tale (four seasons, 2017–2022, created by Bruce Miller), the film Children of Men (dir. Alfonso Cuarón, 2006), The Official Story (La historia oficial, dir. Luis Puenzo, 1985), and Parallel Moth-ers (Madres paralelas, dir. Pedro Almodóvar, 2021). Through detailed narratological and discursive analysis, the paper explores the ways in which women and their repro-ductive power are presented as spaces of biopolitical surveillance, control, and resist-ance. The focus is on various modalities of institutional and systemic violence, includ-ing forced pregnancies, restricted access to abortion, loss of parental rights, and the ideological reshaping of motherhood. The selected films and series are analyzed not only as aesthetic and cultural artifacts but also as active participants in the construction of social narratives about the body, power, and the right to choose. Using an interdis-ciplinary approach, the paper highlights the capacity of contemporary film to function as a medium of social critique and reflection, while simultaneously creating space for feminist theoretical articulation of resistance
