'Death to fascism isn't in the catechism': legacies of socialism in Croatian popular music after the fall of Yugoslavia
No full textThis paper discusses both textual and structural legacies of socialism in Croatian popular music since the collapse of socialism and Yugoslavia. Popular culture under Yugoslav socialism represented an uneasy compromise between socialist consciousness and capitalist consumerism: popular music experienced the same contradictions as other aspects of Yugoslav life such as shopping tourism, and negotiating the ideological field of socialist practice was a routine part of musicians’ professional lives. The most visible legacies of socialism in Croatian popular music are commentaries on everyday Yugoslav life and iconography which represent personal and public legacies of socialism after Yugoslavia. However, the negation of the socialist experience in certain anti-Communist musical texts is itself a legacy of socialism – not just because without socialism there would be nothing to negate, but also because a continued vestigial norm that entertainment should interpellate consumers within a state-backed collective identity has bridged the socialist and early post-socialist periods, continuing to define the limits of the acceptable discursive field for cultural production. The paper concludes by considering the prospects for a theory of popular culture under post-socialism as historical and geographical distance complicates the comparative

When Seve met Bregovi?: folklore, turbofolk and the boundaries of Croatian musical identity
No full textPopular music in Croatia has consistently been a field where the boundaries of national cultural identity are set, contested and transgressed. The most contentious boundaries involve Serbian culture and the abstract “east”, to which essentialized nationalist concepts of Croatian culture denied any similarity. The Croatian singer Severina’s attempt to represent Croatia at the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest with her song Moja štikla (My stiletto) called these aspects into question with connotations which could be claimed as both Croatian and Serbian. Although the song was justified with reference to the (disputed) authenticity of Croatian folklore, it ultimately suggested that Croatian cultural space could not be separated from that of the other ex-Yugoslav states

The politics of performance: transnationalism and its limits in former Yugoslav popular music, 1999–2004
No full textThis paper examines transnational relations between the Yugoslav successor states from the point of view of popular music, and demonstrates how transnational musical figures (such as Djordje Balaševi?, Mom?ilo Bajagi?-Bajaga and Ceca Ražnatovi?) are interpreted as symbolic reference points in national ethnopolitical discourse in the process of identity construction. Another symbolic function is served by Serbian turbofolk artists, who in Croatia serve as a cultural resource to distance oneself from a musical genre associated by many urban Croats with the ruralization (and Herzegovinization) of Croatian city space. In addition, value judgements associated with both Serbian and Croatian newly composed folk music provide an insight into the transnational negotiation of conflicting identities in the ex-Yugoslav context. Ultimately the paper shows how the ethnonational boundaries established by nationalizing ideologies created separate cultural spaces which themselves have been transnationalized after Yugoslavia's disintegration
