20.500.12556/RUL-84462 Rustic obsessions: the role of Slovenian folk pop in the Slovenian national imaginary The article explores the relationship between Slovenian national identity and popular music. A substantial empirical research (150 interviewees from 4 different Slovenian regions) has been conducted to find out what kind of music Slovenians themselves perceive as typically Slovenian and what are for them the defining characteristics of these music acts or styles. The results show that the vast majority of interviewees understand as typically Slovenian just one music style, Slovenian folk pop (narodno-zabavna glasba). The key features that make Slovenian folk pop Slovenian are for them its content (beauties of Slovenia), its contribution to Slovenian national awareness, Slovenian lyrics, etc. Various possible reasons for such uniform and even self-referential answers are discussed. Among them are cultural re-traditionalisation of former Yugoslavian republics (now independent states) after the break-up of Yugoslavia in 1991, recent modernisation of Slovenian folk pop, and the need for a country as culturally, historically, geographically, etc. diverse as Slovenia to organise its symbolic imaginary around simple and understandable signifiers. national identity Slovenia folk-popular music narodna identiteta Slovenija narodnozabavna glasba true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2016-08-24 13:37:32 2016-08-24 13:52:50 2022-08-02 01:14:55 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2015 0 0 test Str. 645-660 no. 6 Vol. 18 Nov. 2015 0000-00-00 PostprintKoncna Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 784.69:316.7(497.4) 1367-8779 10.1177/1367877913515870 32694109 17494621 Stankovic_Rustic_Obsessions_Post-print.pdf Stankovic_Rustic_Obsessions_Post-print.pdf 1 9A51211328E967A2CBD362E7719276B5 9e8d9565a1fa06aa775cd400029b1876b8557e90fee7ed5b6664ba755955958c e8118237-a1b0-11eb-a523-00155dcfd717 20.500.12556/rul/23117889-181d-47e8-85c5-4637d5582d41 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=87569 http://ics.sagepub.com/content/18/6/645.abstract 1 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=87568 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
