| Title | Yes for the Yugosphere, No for Yugoslavia. A Case Study of Domestic Music and Identity in Serbia and Croatia |
| Summary | This thesis explores through focus group interviews with Serbian and Croatian university students how domestic popular music and identity are intertwined in Serbia and Croatia. Domestic music includes performers from all Yugoslav successor states if they sing in Serbo-Croatian. This language unites the imagined community of Yugosphere which also rests on economic and cultural ties. This concept is often confused with Yugonostalgia. However, young listeners of domestic music from former Yugoslavia are not Yugonostalgic because they never lived in Yugoslavia. They also do not have a Yugoslav identity even though they regularly enjoy music that was written with the aim of transmitting Yugoslavism. Young Serbs and Croats are selective about political messages in lyrics and interpret them in the present context. |
