vol. 6: TRAUMA KULTUROWA JAKO PALIMPSEST: (post)komunizm w kontekście porównawczym nowoczesności, totalitaryzmów i (post)kolonializmów

107-117

Relying on the concept of cultural trauma, the author interprets the attitude of post-Yugoslav societies towards the so-called Black Wave films. The paper examines the prohibitions of these films during the communist period, the increased interest in them during the 1990s, and finally, its disappearance from popular culture, which all testify the multilayered cultural trauma which Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav societies have been going through since the 1940s.

Опираясь на концепцию культурной травмы, автор интерпретирует отношение постюгославских обществ к фильму-нуар. В коммунистическую эпоху Новые фильмы были запрещены; в девяностые годы возник некоторый интерес к «черным фильмам», наконец, они исчезли из популярной культуры. Это свидетельствует о многослойности культурной травмы через которую прошли югославские и постюгославские общества начиная с 1940-х годов до настоящего времени.

One of the key representations of Serbia between the two world wars in British and American travel accounts is the one about a child. Set in the context of Orientalism and postcolonial tradition this representation is usually interpreted as infantilization that reflects the marginalization and symbolic position of Serbia and the Balkans outside the mainstream of world politics and economy. As the academic discourse is mostly occupied with orientalism and postcolonialism, this paper focuses on symbolic and mythological potential of the discourse analysis about Serbia-“the child of Europe.” The paper analyses three forms of infantilization of Serbia in the interwar travel accounts, while each chapter is dedicated to specific form of infantilization: 1. Serbia as an orphan of Europe; 2. Serbs as medieval people (unspoiled by civilization and vital); 3. Their “temperament” reveals cultural, and thus, political immaturity. The analysis is based on Darren Kelsey’s discursive-mythological approach and it draws a conclusion about the interconnection between the child’s image, culture, historical circumstances, internal/external representation and affective archetypes.
