REFLECTING ON THE CULTURE OF POWER, TEN YEARS ON
Eric D. Gordy

Ten years after the fieldwork that led to The Culture of Power
in Serbia, the author reflects on the book's reception, and considers
some questions that were not taken up in the original research.
Intervening events are taken into account as they relate to issues of
the autonomy of culture, to theories of nationalist mobilisation, and
to the question of characterising social divisions in contemporary
Serbia. The author clarifies his position on conflicts between popular
musical cultures, and considers how the cultural meanings of musical
forms may be changing. Finally, the author considers the question of
how much has changed over the ten years since the original research,
and ways in which the construction of "transition" impacts on political
culture and legitimacy.
Key words: political sociology,
cultural sociology, nationalism, popular music, transition.
OSVRT NA KULTURU VLASTI, DESET GODINA KASNIJE
Deset godina nakon istraživanja, autor knjige Kultura vlasti u Srbiji
razmatra recepciju te knjige, i uzima u obzir neka pitanja koja nisu
bila uključena u originalnom istraživanju. Događaji za vreme i nakon
istraživanja uzeti su u obzir u odnosu na pitanja autonomije kulture,
nacionalističke mobilizacije, kao i na pitanja karaktera društvenih
podela u savremenoj Srbiji. Autor pojašnjava svoj stav o sukobima u
popularnoj muzičkoj kulturi, i navodi mogućnost da se kulturni značaj
muzičke forme menja. Na kraju, autor postavlja pitanje koliko je
situacija u Srbiji drugačija u odnosu na period od pre deset godina, i
kako se konstrukcija "tranzicije" odražava na skavodnevni život i
legitimitet.
