Створена је културна политика која се ослањала на идеолошке постулате нацизма, национализма, ксенофобије и антимодернизма. Контрола је спровођена путем цензуре штампаног материјала и забране штампања књига и часописа, путем контроле значајних књижара и издавачких кућа. Успостављањем надзора књижевни живот је у великој мери замро, јер се већина писаца и интелектуалаца повукла из јавности и одбила да делује у наметнутом систему.

Soccer, an eccentric pastime in the beginning, in a brief period of fifty years managed to grow into a favorite national sport and to occupy the interest of millions of spectators, thus immensely influencing other spheres of life. The stages of development that soccer went ...

Такође, анализирају се и друштвени утицај који је фудбал имао у наведеном периоду и могућности манипулације и политичке индоктринације целокупне јавности на ...

Sport is represented as one of the most popular and engaging cultural phenomena of social life. Sport both embodied the social dynamics of the socialist period as well as revealing questions of the everyday lives of the Yugoslav people. Ultimately, sport was closely intertwined with the country’s overall destiny. This volume offers an introduction into the myriad social functions that sport served in the Yugoslav socialist project. It illustrates how sport was central to the establishment of Yugoslavia’s physical and leisure culture in the early post-Second World War period, an international promotional tool for Yugoslav communists championing the ideological superiority of the ‘Brotherhood and Unity’ and the Non-Aligned Movement, as well as a social field in which the ideological contradictions of Yugoslav socialism became increasingly apparent. The chapters expand the existing knowledge of the processes that defined Yugoslav sport and contribute to a more nuanced understanding of socialist Yugoslavia in the years between 1945 and 1991. Table of Contents 1. From the Concept of the Communist ‘New Man’ to Nationalist Hooliganism: Research Perspectives on Sport in Socialist Yugoslavia Dario Brentin and Dejan Zec 2. How Falcons Became Partizans Hrvoje Klasić 3. How Doing Sport Became a Culture: Producing the Concept of Physical Cultivation of the Yugoslavs Ana Petrov 4. Gender Policies and Amateur Sports in Early Yugoslav Socialism Ivan Simić 5.

In the course of the 1920s, it moved from an independent and idealistic organization which celebrated brotherhood between the South Slavs to being a still independent but Serb-centered organization whose version of Yugoslav integration pushed away Croats in particular. But it was only from 1929, when King Aleksandar’s royal dictatorship brought a reconstituted organization under direct state control, that it became a vehicle for official propaganda and an exponent of assimilating Serbs as well as non-Serbs under the banner of integral Yugoslavism. These efforts by the royal dictatorship in Belgrade from 1929 did not survive the king’s assassination in 1934. Helping to widen the political divide, particularly between Serbs and Croats, this official Sokol became a well-known focal point for Serb confrontation with non-Serb majorities in western and southern Yugo...

It is focused on Yugoslavia in two turbulent historical periods: after the First World War, when its nations had just started to form joint institutions; and after the Second World War, when the country was severely devastated by the Nazi occupiers and a bloody internal civil and ethnic strife. In both of these periods, football proved to be a positive influence in rebuilding trust and mutual cooperation. Regional differences also played a part in the process, both in terms of organization, and in terms of regional identities. The latter often influenced the social life of Yugoslav regions, and, thus, football as a part of it, but the influence was mutual, which is examined in this study. Finally, it is unavoidable to dwell, at least marginally, on the effect the game had on social distances and social integration.
