‘Fierce Warriors’ or ‘Bloodthirsty Savages’: Albanians in Serbian Textbooks (1882–1941)
No full textThis article analyses Serbian elementary school textbooks from 1882 to 1941 in order to determine the two main phases or modes of representing Albanians in the Serbian educational system during this period: the rise of hostility towards them in the 1882-1918 period and the ambivalence of the interwar years (1918-1941) when many Albanians became incorporated in the new Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
In distinction to the earlier Serbian perceptions of Albanians as „fierce warriors“ and occasional allies against the Turks, the late nineteenth and early twentieth century textbooks are marked by actual hostility towards the Albanians. The analysis focuses on a popular history textbook of the time by Mihajlo Jović, which saw some 56 editions and three major revisions from 1882 onwards and is thus particularly suitable for the analysis of the dominant discourse and its shifts during this period. The ambivalences towards the Albanians in the interwar period are investigated by looking at their contested presentation as either Serb-hating and treacherous, or as heroic and brave, in the two fourth-year reading books published by Miloš Matović and Milorad Vujanac in 1938.
In conclusion, the authors claim that the presentation of the Albanians in Serbian textbooks throughout this period - while no doubt being biased and prejudiced – is anything but simple and contains ambivalences that witness to the shifting status and attitudes between the two nations. It is therefore important to emphasize those inherently positive attitudes stemming from centuries of shared traditions and coexistence in the Balkans, such as those found in the aforementioned literary texts, or ruptures between the literary-fictional and historico-factual textbook content.Studien des Georg-Eckert-Instituts zur internationalen Bildungsmedienforschung Band147

No full textBody ownership is critically dependent on multimodal integration as for instance revealed in the Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI) and a number of studies which have addressed the neural correlates of the processes underlying this phenomenon. Both experimental and clinical research have shown that the structures underlying body ownership seem to significantly overlap with those of motor control including the parietal and ventral premotor cortices, Temporal Parietal Junction (TPJ) and the insula. This raises the question of whether this structural overlap between body ownership and motor control structures is of any functional significance. Here, we investigate the specific question of whether experimentally induced ownership over a virtual limb can modulate the performance of that limb in a simple sensorimotor task. Using a Virtual reality (VR) environment we modulate body ownership in three experimental conditions with respect to the (in)congruence of stimulus configurations. Our results show that the degree of ownership directly modulates motor performance. This implies that body ownership is not exclusively a perceptual and/or subjective multimodal state but that it is tightly coupled to systems for decision-making and motor control
Lenjin na Titovom stolu: Uticaj Oktobarske Revolucije na Jugoslaviju
No full textKada je Josip Broz Tito umro u Ljubljani 4. maja 1980. godine, na njegovom radnom stolu, u Užičkoj ulici broj 15 u Beogradu, nalazila se, između ostalog, jedna mala fotograija Lenjina u boji.1 Dok je Jugoslavija oplakivala svog vođu, arhitekta događaja bez kojeg ne bi bilo ni Jugoslovenske revolucije ostao je u istom položaju u kojem je bio tokom 35 godina Titove vladavine. Neprimetan, iza kulisa, ali prisutan kao inspiracija u Titovom političkom životu i u društvu koje je, makar deklarativno, bilo zasnovano na idejama Oktobra. Bez Oktobarske revolucije ne bi bilo ni Jugoslovenske revolucije. U Oktobarskoj revoluciji i njenom nasleđu (ili, pak, načinu na koji je to nasleđe interpretirano) ogleda se i nasleđe jugoslovenskih komunista, sa svim svojim protivrečnostima. Uspesi, ali i nedostaci jugoslovenske države, bili su posledica njenog formiranja po ugledu na Sovjetski Savez
Предности, мане и последице могуће примене већинског изборног система у Републици Србији
No full textУ овом раду ћемо изнети аргументе у корист увођења већинског изборног система при избору посланика Народне скупштине Републике Србије. Даћемо преглед кључних разлика између већинског и пропорционалног система, анализираћемо актуелни систем и нарочито његове негативне стране. Рад ће такође садржати кратак историјски осврт на краткотрајну примену, ефекте и разлоге одбацивања већинског изборног система, који је био у употреби на првим изборима у Србији након увођења вишепартизма. Коначно, изнећемо аргументе који говоре у прилог већинском систему за избор народних посланика – пре свега кроз призму могућих последица које би примена овог механизма могла да има на политички живот у Србији
