As a Wall Came Down…. New Boundaries, New Narratives (Yugoslavism and Yugoslav Artistic Space, Discontinuity and Fragmentation in the Core Narrative of the Cultural Institutions in Transition-Period Serbia)

As a Wall Came Down… New Boundaries, New Narratives (Yugoslavism and Yugoslav Artistic Space, Discontinuity and Fragmentation in the Core Narrative of the Cultural Institutions in Transition-Period Serbia) The main aim of this overview is to trace the presence and importance of the Yugoslav narrative (dedicated to a common cultural and artistic space before, during and after Yugoslavia) as important for (re)creating and maintaining continuity and coherence in the core narrative as an internal structure of cultural institutions in Serbia, especially in the transition period (2000 – 2018). The emergence of the South Slavic unity idea at the territory of the Balkans, as we argue in the article, can be traced to a time long before the state of Yugoslavia was created as a concept. The fact that a common field (common ground) in the sense of cultural space existed long before the creation of Yugoslavia contains the assumption that common cultural ground and art space exist in the post-Yugoslav period as well. The concept of the common cultural space is also known as Yugoslav Artistic Space. The main goal of the article is to shape the conclusion that Yugoslav Artistic Space, considering its tradition, still exists despite the political changes after 1989, particularly during the ‘90s and the transition process, if not in another sense, than as a core narrative of the institutions (such as the Museum Of Contemporary Art in Belgrade, for example). It also delineates the thesis that marginalization of the Yugoslav legacy leads to discontinuity, fragmentation, and a status quo position in the transition process of Serbian cultural institutions.
