Gastvortrag Ana Hofmann (Ljubljana), 14.00 Uhr, Raum 150, Reiterkaserne, Institut für Ethnomusikologie
Abstract:
The lecture engages with a so far almost ignored topic in socialist popular music production – women. It is often believed that female performers are emblematic of popular music and that their personas are an index of social changes, and particularly changes in identity performance. Popular music production in socialist Yugoslavia reflects these processes in many aspects: female performers have embodied all ambiguities of official cultural politics, being controversial public personas and symbolizing both a socialist woman and a capitalist entertainer, a working person and a “star.” Because of all that, female performers are a perfect ground for showing the complexity of popular music production during the times of socialism in Yugoslavia and its receptions, interpretations and employments. Through the lenses of the so-called personalized historical narrativity of female socialist stars, focussing particularly on the gendered aspects of professional musicianship and music labour, the lecture discusses the complex interplay between ideology, discourse and practice, which gain a variety of contested political employments in Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav contexts.
