Theoretically ambitious and innovative, this book is a new account of popular music that has been at the centre of national, political and cultural debates for over two decades. Beginning with 1970s Socialist Yugoslavia, Uro Cvoro explores the cultural and political paradoxes of turbo-folk: described as backward music, whose misogynist and Serb nationalist iconography represents a threat to cosmopolitanism, turbo-folks iconography is also perceived as a genuinely Balkan form of resistance to the threat of neo-liberalism. Taking as its starting point turbo-folks popularity across national borders, Cvoro analyses key songs and performers in Serbia, Slovenia and Croatia. The book also examines the effects of turbo on the broader cultural sphere - including art, film, sculpture and architecture - twenty years after its inception and popularization. What is proposed is a new way of reading the relationship of contemporary popular music to processes of cultural, political and social change - and a new understanding of how fundamental turbo-folk is to the recent history of former Yugoslavia and its successor states....3542100Turbo-folk Music and Cultural Representations of National Identity in Former Yugoslavia14361436https://www.gandhi.com.mx/turbo-folk-music-and-cultural-representations-of-national-identity-in-former-yugoslavia-9781317006060/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3615551/d9779f9f-69bb-4748-9564-6561d9e31183.jpg?v=638385630315070000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20169781317006060_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9781317006060_Turbo-folk music is the most controversial form of popular culture in the new states of former Yugoslavia.
