New musical geography: center – resistance – peripheries

Abstracts

EN

Last decades redefined traditional artistic geography. Center (West) – periphery (East and South) system, rooted in Ratzel’s Kunstgeographie, was replaced by new ideas known as “new artistic geography” or “geohistory of art”. An article is based on these new perspectives and it focuses on trajectories of punk rock music in 80’s. in former Yugoslavia and Poland as well. Author tried to transgress old cliché: on the one hand image of cultural hegemonic center (USA, UK) and on the other hand cultural non-hegemonic peripheries. An article describes the very beginning punk in ex-Yugoslavian town Rijeka (bands like Paraf, Termiti), Lublana (Pankrti), Zagreb (Prljavo kazalište). In next section an author presents an examples of cooperation realized by Polish visual artists and Polish punks (Brygada Kryzys, Kryzys, Moskwa). In effect, they created artistic films, paintings, installations and performances. Concluding, at the turn of the 1970’s Yugoslavian and Polish punk scenes were among the most active and most original in Europe east of the Elbe. Yugoslav punks have been very courageously politically involved and even morally related to the situation of homosexuals – becoming the vanguard of resistance to Tito’s power and his heirs. In the Polish case, punk alliances with emerging art, including experimental species such as found footage, are striking. Facing so many original and otherwise “framed” concepts, there is no reason for the punk story to continue to be reduced to repetitive, British and American clichés.
