The Serbian Patriarch Varnava and Apostolic Nuncio Pellegrinetti (1930-1937)
No full textДруга половина дипломатске службе апостолског нунција Пелегринетија у Београду поклапа се са периодом када је на челу Српске цркве био патријарх Варнава Росић (1930-1937). Нунције је имао велико интересовање за Српску цркву, а посебно за личност патријарха о чијем избору, устоличењу, ставовима о Католичкој цркви је слао извештаје Државном секретаријату Свете Столице, писао забелешке у дневнику и коментарисао у приватној кореспонденцији. Тема нунцијевог интересовања било је и питање конкордата, чијој ратификацији се противила Српска црква и патријарх. Предмет интересовања нунција биле су и болест, смрт и сахрана патријарха Варнаве. Говорећи о патријарховој смрти, навели смо и један нов податак из послератног периода (из архива из периода папе Пија XII) везан за његову мистериозну смрт 1937. године. / The second half of the diplomatic service of the Apostolic Nuncio Pellegrinetti in Belgrade coincides with the period when Patriarch Varnava Rosić (1930-1937) was the head of the Serbian Church. The Nuncio had a great interest in the Serbian Church, and especially in the Patriarch, about whose election, enthronement and views on the Catholic Church he sent reports to the Secretariat of State of the Holy See, wrote notes in his diary and commented in private correspondence. Nuncio’s main interest was the issuance of the Concordat, to the ratification of which the Serbian Church and the Patriarch opposed. Nuncio was also interested in the illness, death and burial of Patriarch Varnava. This paper includes new information from the post-war period (from the archives from the pontificate of Pope Pius XII) related to Patriarch’s mysterious death in 1937
Pluralia Tantum Doublets in the Serbian Language (Gender Doublets)
No full textУ раду се разматрају дублетни облици именица које имају само облик множине. Једна од карактеристика именица плуралија тантум у српском језику јесте њихова дублетност. То су најчешће лексеме које имају варијанте у роду и ти облици у језику углавном функционишу као равноправни дублети. Друга врста дублетности очава се код облика који су варијантни у броју. Поставља се питање да ли неки од супротстављених облика има примат (нормативно или у пракси), што ће се испитати у електронском корпусу српског језика (ПДРС) и речничким дефиницијама.In this paper, we analyze pluralia tantum nouns that have dual gender. The syncretism of case forms in the plural, along with shared endings across genders, allows for variation in the base form. Although these words are generally less frequently used, they are accurately and meticulously recorded in dictionaries. The variants we analyzed are not always of equal rank; even when considered absolute doublets, without any distinct marking, speakers tend to favor one of the forms
The INSAM Journal of Contemporary Music, Art and Technology: Curating a Research “Technoscape” Through Independent Publishing and Regional Cooperation
No full textThe paper offers a comprehensive overview of the INSAM Journal of Contemporary Music, Art and Technology, focusing on its editorial policies, structure, and research profile within the broader context of regional and global academic publishing related to music and arts. Through an analysis of fourteen issues published between 2018 and 2025, the paper traces the journal’s development, its transdisciplinary orientation, and its commitment to open-access publishing. It further examines how the journal’s “technoscape” connects artistic research, music, and technology, positioning INSAM Journal as both a platform for independent scholarly expression and a site of regional collaboration and exchange. The study also reflects on the challenges and significance of maintaining an independent, digitally based, and transdisciplinary journal in the contemporary
landscape of the humanities
When Yugoslavia Began to Speak Jazz: The Magazine Svijet Jazza (1941) in Interwar Popular Culture
No full textPublished in Zagreb between January and April 1941, the monthly magazine Svijet jazza [The World of Jazz] was the first periodical in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia dedicated exclusively to jazz music. It featured original articles and reviews of prominent musical events, as well as translations
from a range of foreign jazz magazines. Taking inspiration from American publications such as The Orchestra World and Metronome, Svijet jazza brought together contributors and correspondents from Ljubljana, Belgrade, Split, and New York. Its publication came to an abrupt end, after only four
issues, with the outbreak of World War II in Yugoslavia. An analysis of Svijet jazza reveals how jazz in interwar Yugoslavia emerged as a marker of modernity and an integral part of the broader field of popular culture
Manolis Kalomiris’s Romeic Suite (1907/1910) as an Initiatory Semantic Signifier of the Composer’s Ideology and Creation. A Music-Analytical and Intertextual Approach
No full textManolis Kalomiris (1883–1962), the leader of the Greek National School of composers, continuously sought to express his ideas through both music and words. This paper examines the formation of his ideology up to 1910, focusing on his writings (articles, the 1908 “program-manifesto”) and his orchestral Romeic Suite (1907/1910). Musical and textual co-examination under semantic codes reveals external influences, symbolic meanings, and ideological identity
of the composer and his work. It is asserted that within the historical context of the early 1910s, Kalomiris used intertextual discourse to convey his ideological codes to Greek literary, political, and musical audiences of the time
Sustainability of Customs Through Religious Mobilization of the Local Community: The Example of Candle Offerings to the Monastery of Tronoša
No full textОвај рад се бави анализом одрживости обичаја изливања и паљења
ратарских свећа као елемента нематеријалног културног наслеђа, са посебним освртом
на савремене облике мобилизације заједнице и улогу православне цркве у очувању ове
праксе. Истраживање се ослања на анализу релевантне етнолошке литературе, као и
на теренске податке прикупљене током 2022. године у околини манастира Троноша. Посебна пажња посвећена је промени улога унутар локалне заједнице, при чему
се наглашава активна иницијатива представника цркве у организацији и одржавању
обичаја. У раду се разматрају стратегије адаптације обичаја савременим условима, као
и механизми који омогућавају његово трајање. Циљ рада је да укаже на значај институционалне и симболичке подршке верске институције у процесу очувања одређених
елемената нематеријалног културног наслеђа у савременом контексту.This paper we analyzed the sustainability of the custom of offering farmers’ candles (ratarske
sveće) to the Tronoša Monastery as an element of intangible cultural heritage. The research shows
that, in the past, this tradition was entirely under the authority of the local community, which independently organized all related activities. However, in recent decades, representatives of the Serbian
Orthodox Church – primarily the monks from the Tronoša Monastery – have assumed a significant
role in preserving the custom, acting as custodians and organizers of the ritual.
During field research conducted in 2022, it was established that the custom, although stripped
of its former magical and agrarian functions, continues to exist as a religious ritual, primarily due to the
institutional support of the Orthodox Church and the spiritual motivation of the participants. It has
also been established that church authorities, in addition to organizing customs, also contribute to the
interpretation of customs in a religious context and provide religious legitimation to the entire ritual.
At the same time, the paper highlights certain risks associated with this model of sustainability.
Reliance on the personal authority of individual clergy members’ raises concerns about the future of the
custom. Although institutional support enables the preservation of the form, the paper problematizes
the possible loss of control of the local community over its own heritage and the narrowing of space for
intergenerational transmission without the help of representatives of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
The paper concludes that ensuring the sustainability of the custom requires a balance between
institutional authority and active local community participation, along with the involvement of
younger generations. The ritual of making and lighting farmers’ candles stands as an example of successful cultural transformation, but also as a reminder of the complex power dynamics embedded in
the processes of safeguarding intangible cultural heritage
Radiophonic Music Essay and Applied Musicology: "Ono malo čega se sećam" by Ivana Trišić
No full textBy the designation radiophonic music essay the author of the study understands radio shows and radio art works in which the full potential of radio as media was used with the goals to avoid the trap of stereotypical narration and to achieve dynamic presentation. The already mentioned full media potential refers to documentary, poetic and drama segments in addition to music, informative and educational elements that are expected in radio programs on music. Musicologist and music critic Ivana Trišić achieved these goals in her radio art work "Ono malo čega se sećam" ["Little
That I Remember"] that was produced in Radio Belgrade in 1982. In this piece, after Trišić juxtaposes atomic bomb explosion and the destruction of tonality in the composition "Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima" by Krzysztof Penderecki, she reconstructs the consequences of bombing and
the reception of the Penderecki’s work. This study first aims to present the main ideas behind the discipline of applied musicology, with the focus on those relevant to this topic. Second, it connects characteristics of the work "Ono malo čega se sećam" to the experimental radio art practiced in
Radio Belgrade. Finally, potentials of the form of radiophonic music essay in the context of applied musicology are pointed out.Zbornik radova sa međunarodnog naučnog skupa „Muzika u društvu” (Sarajevo, 7-10.12.2022).

Dynasty as a carrier of identification: old Serbian genealogies
No full textРад представља нацрт изучавања колективних идентитета у позном
средњем и раном новом веку. Корисност тражења новог приступа проистиче
из тога што коришћење појмова насталих у XVIII веку – попут патриотизма и
национализма – чак и уз редефиницију може створити истраживачки анахронизам. Њихова употреба, такође, отвара пут утицају савременог друштвеног и
политичког искуства на истраживање јер поистовећује категорије праксе и категорије анализе. Стога се предлаже коришћење термина идентификација којим
се наглашава да је реч о когнитивном процесу стварања осећаја припадања одређеној групи са променљивим дометима и значењима. Приступ се илуструје
на примеру старих српских родослова, у којима се све категорије идентификације, међу којима је династија најважнија, преобликују и истичу, односно бивају скрајнуте из редакције у редакцију (преписа у препис). Родослови, дакле,
сведоче о различитим облицима замишљања заједнице који су послужили као
репозиторијум значења за политичко деловање у каснијим вековима.The paper provides a sketch for the study of collective identities in the medieval
and early modern period. The need for a new approach stems from the fact that
the use of the concepts that arose during the 18th century – such as patriotism
and nationalism, even when redefined, can lead to research anachronism. Their
use also paves the way for the influence of contemporary social and political experience
on research since it uses categories of practice as categories of analysis.
Therefore, it is proposed to use the term identification, which emphasizes that
it is a cognitive process of creating a sense of belonging to a group with variable
meanings and outcomes. The approach is illustrated with the example of old
Serbian genealogies, written and copied between the second half of the 14th and
the 18th century, where several categories of identification stand out: the dynasty
itself, the adjective “Serbian”, concept of Orthodoxy, as well as the naming of the
“Other”. With them, the notion of fatherland is analysed, as one of the key concepts
of the volume. It is shown that the dynasty was redefined with almost every
redaction, but that some categories – such as the Serbian and Orthodox determinants
– remain stable. The naming of others occasionally became significant,
while the concept of fatherland has a completely different meaning than the one
it carries in contemporary political and social life. Diachronic changes, as well
as synchronic differences between copies of genealogies, testify to various ways
the community was imagined through the history of the ruling dynasty or the
remembrance of the past. These notions served as a repository of meaning for
political action in centuries of nation-building
Natural Sunlight Driven Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue and Rhodamine B over Nanocrystalline Zn2SnO4/SnO2
No full textThe natural sunlight driven photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants is a sustainablesolution for water purification. The use of heterojunction nanocomposites in this processshows promise for improved photodegradation efficiency. In this work, nanocrystallineZn2SnO4/SnO2 obtained by the solid-state synthesis method was tested as a heterojunctionphotocatalyst material for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) and Rhodamine B(RhB) dyes as single and multicomponent systems in natural sunlight. Characterization ofthe structure and morphology of the synthesized nanocomposite using X-ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electronmicroscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) combined with energydispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy confirmedthe formation of Zn2SnO4/SnO2 and heterojunctions between Zn2SnO4 and the SnO2nanoparticles. A photodegradation efficiency of 99.1% was achieved in 120 min with 50 mgof the photocatalyst for the degradation of MB and 70.6% for the degradation of RhB underthe same conditions. In the multicomponent system, the degradation efficiency of 97.9% forMB and 53.2% for RhB was obtained with only 15 mg of the photocatalyst. The degradationof MB occurred through N-demethylation and the formation of azure intermediates anddegradation of RhB occurred through sequential deethylation and fragmentation of thexanthene ring, both in single and multicomponent systems.Preprint: [http://dx.doi.org/10.20944/preprints202506.1607.v1]Preprint: [https://hdl.handle.net/21.15107/rcub_dais_17959
Newly Formed Words in Serbian with the Suffixoid –oid
No full textРад се бави творбеном продуктивношћу суфиксоидa -оид у савременом српском језику, ослањајући се на податке из корпусних база PDRS 1.0 и CLASSLAweb.
sr. Анализом корпусних података издвајамо неколико типова нових лексема:
неутралне научне и стручне термине добијење позајмљивањем и политички и идеолошки обојене неологизме који су настали творбеном интервенцијом у српском
језику. Док у научној терминологији суфиксоид -оид означава сличност или приближност, у политичком и јавном дискурсу он добија дерогативну, ироничну или
идеолошки обојену функцију (нпр. вучићоид, сорошоид, државоид). Посебно је истакнута улога овог форманта у конструисању негативних етикета и дисквалификаторних израза у јавном и медијском говору. Рад показује да се суфиксоид -оид у
српском језику користи не само као неутрални творбени формант већ и као алат језичког вредновања и идеолошке поларизације.This paper examines the derivational productivity of the suffixoide -oid in
contemporary Serbian, based on data from the corpus resources PDRS 1.0 and
CLASSLA-web.sr. The analysis identifies several types of newly attested lexemes:
neutral scientific and technical terms, mostly borrowings from English, and politically
or ideologically marked neologisms created through domestic word formation
processes. In scientific contexts, the suffixoide -oid typically conveys the meaning
of resemblance or approximation. However, in political and public discourse, it often
acquires a derogatory, ironic, or ideologically charged nuance (e.g., vučićoid,
sorošoid, državoid). Particular emphasis is placed on the use of -oid in forming negative
labels and discrediting expressions within media and online discourse. The
findings suggest that -oid in Serbian functions not only as a descriptive morpheme
but also as a powerful tool for linguistic evaluation and ideological polarization
