The 1990s violence in the Former Yugoslavia, the worst in Europe since World War II, triggered the conversion of multi-ethnic, multi-religious, and cosmopolitan areas of idiosyncratic and independent socialism into regions of xenophobic nationalism, wars, and, afterwards, Western-style democracy and capitalism. Unified by their artistic response to these cataclysmic changes, post-Yugoslav literary works and films have much to offer the wider world. Crnkovic reveals select post-Yugoslav literary and cinema works as groundbreaking exploratory achievements of global relevance. She presents post-Yugoslav literature and film as art that makes us aware of previously unconsidered things that bring us wars, and those that constitute part of the tapestry of peace. She foregrounds the radical potential of art to change and enrich the global landscapes of concepts, sensitivities, and politics. As such her book is important not only for those interested in this region, but also for all those wanting to discover and engage with world literature and cinema, and willing to encounter the potential of great new art to illuminate and challenge the world we live in.

Memory in the Balkans has often been described as binding, authoritative, and non-negotiable, functioning as a banner of war. This book challenges such a one-dimensional representation and offers a more nuanced analysis that accommodates frequently ignored instances of transnational solidarity, dialogue, communal mourning and working through a difficult past. Exploring a broad range of memorial practices, the book focuses on the ways in which cultural memory is mediated, performed and critically reworked by literature and the arts in the former Yugoslavia. Against the methodological nationalism of works that study Serbian, Croatian, or Bosniak culture as self-contained, this book examines post-Yugoslav literature, film, visual culture, and politicized art practices from a supranational angle. Not solely focusing on traumatic memories, but also exploring how post-Yugoslav cultural practices mobilize memory for a politics of hope, this volume moves beyond the trauma paradigm that still dominates memory studies. In its scope and approach, the book shows the relevance of the cultural memory of Eastern European citizens and the contribution they can offer to the building of Europe’s shared cultural memory and transnational identity.

Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia-no longer on the map. East Europe of the socialist period may seem like a historical oddity, apparently so different from everything before and after. Yet the masterpieces of literature and cinema from this largely forgotten Second World, as well as by the authors formed in it and working in its aftermath, surprise and delight with their contemporary resonance. This book introduces and illuminates a number of these works. It explores how their aesthetic ingenuity discovers ways of engaging existential and universal predicaments, such as how one may survive in the world of victimizations, or imagine a good city, or broach the human boundaries to live as a plant. Like true classics of world art, these novels, stories, and films-to rephrase Bohumil Hrabal-keep telling us things about ourselves we don't know. In lively and jargon-free prose, Gordana P. Crnkovic builds on her rich teaching experience to create paths to these works and reveal how they changed lives.

"In this collection of essays, authors propose a temporal shift in (post)-Yugoslav studies. By taking into account select examples from literature, art, and culture, the volume questions a possibility of explaining the temporal structure underlying the theoretical and analytical concepts employed in understanding (post)-Yugoslav literature(s) and culture(s). Analyses undertaken in the essays showcase that the (Post-)Yugoslav literary, artistic, and cultural practices do not only attempt to portray the demise of the state and the succeeding war between its former republics. Instead, the authors underscore that the critical (Post-)Yugoslav studies task is to evince and critically reflect on and engage with the processes before and after the dissolution to capture the collapse itself."--

The ubiquitous Partisan narrative in Yugoslavia served well as founding myth of its newly united people. Its retrospective deconstruction has absorbed most of the academic attention for the Yugoslav Partisans since the break-up. This edition in contrast looks into the (hybrid) nature of partisanship itself as it appears in film, art, and literature. It explores the Partisans in Yugoslavia in Partisan novels, films, and songs, analyzes the - still ongoing - transformation process of the Partisan narrative, and reviews its transitions into popular (visual) culture.

Drawing primarily on selected filmic texts from former-Yugoslavia, the book examines key social and political events that triggered the Yugoslav wars in the 1990s. Yugoslav politics and society are set within the broader artistic and cinematic strategies that helped stabilise post-Yugoslav territories strategies that were part of the national desire of looking forward to a time of 'perpetual peace' and its subsequent cosmopolitan norms. It argues that filmic texts demonstrate the degree to which nationalism was at the heart of the violent disintegration of Yugoslavia. Yet, the concern of the argument is not simply to offer a filmic critique but to develop an alternative to nationalism; namely, a theoretical framework through which cosmopolitan humanism is at the forefront of addressing former Yugoslavia's political wounds.

This thesis examines select post-Yugoslav film and literature from the period 2010-2020 produced in Croatia, specifically works that are set in Dalmatia or autobiographical/autofictional works by queer authors. This thesis argues that they critique and re-inhabit the sites of exclusion where Croatian national identity is produced: the heteronormative family, standard language, and the conflicting touristic/provincial space of Dalmatia. The first chapter examines the autofictional novel My Dear You (Moja ti) by Jasna Jasna Žmak and the documentary film Family Meals (Nije ti život pjesma Havaja) by Dana Budisavljević, which utilize strategies of relational self-representation that go beyond identitarian representation, even as they also belong to a growing number of "out" writers and directors. They also enact reparative critiques of the Croatian language and the nuclear family, respectively. In doing so, they queer them, sabotaging their use to the maintenance of the monolingual or heteronormative nation and making them into more livable arrangements instead of sites of exclusion. The second chapter turns to the contested space of the region, where the image exploited for Croatian tourism of a timeless, cosmopolitan Adriatic coast is displaced or deflated by a series of works that center a gritty or provincial Dalmatia firmly grounded in the postsocialist present. This chapter also provides a reevaluation of an archetypal Dalmatian novel of this period, Olja Savičević's novel Adios, Cowboy (Adio kauboju). Relying on the work of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick and Kathryn Bond Stockton, it argues that the figure of Danijel is a "queer child" whose ambiguity provokes paranoia even from the narrator about his unconfirmed sexuality, which is reflected by his narrative absence and perpetuated by his resultant unknowability. All these Dalmatian works ultimately pose a challenge to the tourism slogan "Croatia Full of Life," asking for whom and under what conditions life is livable for those who actually live in Dalmatia
