AB  - Pressed by Federalization: Alexander Deroko and
the History of Architecture in Medieval Serbia

There is no doubt that one of the most influential synthetic works of Serbian architectural
history written after WWII is Monumentalna i dekorativna arhitektura u srednjovekovnoj
Srbiji (Monumental and Decorative Architecture in Medieval Serbia). Its three successive
editions (1953, 1962, 1985) represent not only a historiographical enterprise of kinds, but
also a narrative which conspicuously demonstrates some of the preoccupations of Serbian
architectural history in socialist Yugoslavia. The real effect of Deroko’s monograph can
only be understood in a wider social and ideological context of the 1950s-1980s, in which
medieval monuments were appropriated, becoming closely interrelated with the questions of
the Yugoslav nations’ historicity and identity. This article is a second part of the study which
explores how Deroko’s own work, as part of Serbian architectural historiography, became
simultaneously adapted to and dissent from the principle of federalist competence. It is only
through the comprehension of slight differences in various editions of Monumentalna i dekorativna arhitektura that one can apprehend the key ideological importance of medieval
monuments both for cultural legitimization and delegitimization of the federalist paradigm,
which otherwise sharply marked the national question in socialist Yugoslavia

Towards an authentic path: Structuralism and architecture in socialist Yugoslavia

AB  - The breakup between socialist Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union in 1948 paved the way for radical socio-political reforms as well as a new cultural model that would justify a newly invented Yugoslav socialist Sonderweg. In this context, Structuralism became a key vehicle for implementing the social and cultural values of the newly invented socialist self-management ideology. Structuralism helped shape the new culture via different fields and cultural approaches. This paper examines the origins and importance of Structuralism in architecture in the ideological and political context of Yugoslav socialism. As an avant-garde movement, Structuralism consequentially contributed to the critique of the then predominant functionalist paradigm of high modernism, resulting in a new direction that emphasised aestheticisation, a formal and semiotic approach, and the establishment of universal and archetypal values ostensibly derived from the exploration of vernacular architecture in Yugoslavia. Starting from the premise that all these values had a major impact on the construction of the mythology of authentic and autochthonous socialism, this paper shows how architectural Structuralism played a key role in shaping social and political authenticity and cultural mediation.

Neither Byzantine nor Serbian: Byzantine Architecture in Serbian Historiography of the Late-Nineteenth and Early-Twentieth Century

AB  - Since the birth of modern Serbian national historiography, the encounters and relationships between medieval Serbia and Byzantine culture, art and architecture have preoccupied historians, who devised a thesis about peculiarly "national" variants of Byzantine style. However, the historiographical accounts on Serbo-Byzantine architectural relationships dealt more with issues of Byzantium as a value-loaded construct than withhistorical realities in medieval Serbia. The historiographical construction of Byzantine architecture in Serbian historiography represented an ideological tool par excellence, because it was an integral part of the nation's historicity and modernity, political formations and frontiers. Firstly, the cultural construct of Byzantium was highly instrumental in the Serbian national narrative, torn between a need for cultural authenticity and an imperial mission. Secondly, the relationships between Serbian and Byzantine culture, as seen by art and architectural historians of the late XIX and early XX century, corresponded to a recognizable ideological agenda inextricably linked with the idea of the restoration of medieval "empire". It was this complex image of Byzantium and Byzantine architecture that became useful for crafting an idea of medieval Serbia which would, and should, represent a predecessor of a modern on the cusp of its political and territorial expansion.

Legacy of the Triad: Architecture in Medieval Serbia between Style and Ideology in the Work of Aleksandar Deroko

AB  - Despite criticism that has been leveled against Gabriel Millet's well-known tripartite subdivision of architecture of medieval Serbia into three distinct 'schools', its scholarly authority still remains largely unchallenged. Yet what is believed to have stemmed from Millet's ingenious research was inextricably linked with the ideological project of Serbian national emancipation during the first decades of the twentieth century. His stylistic triad of L'école de Rascie, L'école de la Serbie byzantine and L'école de la Morava had an unexpectedly vivid and profound afterlife in the entirely new context of socialist Yugoslavia — in terms of both scholarship and ideological resonance. Its main proponent was Serbian architectural historian Aleksandar Deroko, whose book entitled Monumental and Decorative Architecture in Medieval Serbia apparently only reiterated the existing subdivision of medieval architecture by simply amending the 'schools' into 'groups'. Nevertheless, a closer insight into three successive editions of the book issued in 1953, 1962 and 1985 reveals a series of Deroko's encounters with the Milletian framework, suggesting that his enterprise can be seen as instrumental the ideological re-appropriation of medieval heritage in the context of the national question in Yugoslavia.

AB  - Over the course of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Serbian scholarship developed not only a highly ambiguous and complex model of perception of the Eastern Roman Empire, but it also evinced a sense of determinism referring to the political and cultural goals of  modern Serbia as a successor to a medieval Serbian state. Yet the most conspicuous evidence of this Serbo-Byzantine discourse, which was based on both the renovatio and translatio doctrines, lay in the sphere of art and architecture. It was the architectural heritage of medieval Serbia, comprising of churches and monasteries dotting the territories of Serbia proper, Kosovo, Montenegro and Macedonia, that represented a basic link with a suitable imperial past of the nation, a vivid reminder of the nation’s former glory. Having been initially perceived as “Byzantine”, and later valued as truly authentic, Serbian architectural monuments of the Middle Ages were systematically nationalized over the course of the late nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century to became the epitomes of the Serbian variant of translatio.

AB  - Despite the development of Byzantine studies in the field of art and architecture in the early twentieth-century Balkans, the complex historical status and ideological relevance of Byzantium remained in both historiography and political culture. This was particularly evident at the International Congresses of Byzantine Studies spectacularly hosted by the Balkan capitals in the interwar period. This article discusses the ideological and political aspects of the second congress held in Belgrade in 1927, expressed in the visual staging of the opening ceremony. The text acknowledges that a dual ideological structure of the cultural and political continuity of Byzantium in medieval Serbia and, on the other hand, of a modern Yugoslav afterlife of the “Serbo-Byzantine” Empire, was a conceptual framework not only of the congress itself and its public presentation, but also of the historical imagination in Serbia at the beginning of the XX century that was heavily relied on the interpretation of medieval art and architecture.

AB  - The truism that the birth of the discipline of architectural history in Serbia was entwined with national emancipation and the construction of an authentic national identity is questioned by the position of the Byzantine cultural heritage in the Serbian architectural past. The germ of »national architecture« – conveniently identified with that of the Middle Ages – was an image of Serbian culture as part of the Byzantine that problematized the very idea of an original, authentic
Serbian identity. This paper will explore the question of the Serbian national narrative torn between a need for cultural authenticity and an imperial mission, and focus on the context in which this duality became a recognizable ideological agenda that justified Serbian political projects in an era when the Kingdom of Serbia was on the cusp of national, cultural and territorial expansion.

Yugoslavism through the Syntax of Classicism: WWI Memorials in Belgrade and Ljubljana, 1931-1939

AB  - Unlike most of the post-WWI newly established and old nation-states, the multiethnic Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (from 1929 the Kingdom of Yugoslavia) had its own ideological raison d'être in the idea of a simultaneously composite and primordial nation. The ideology of primordial Yugoslavism was a complex set of ideas referring to the multiethnic community of Yugoslavs — sharply divided not only by culture, but also by the experience in the Great War — seeking a cohesive national culture. The idea of a single, primordial nation, united by common descent and future prospects, was based on the mythologization of the people's original unity, as well as obliteration of cultural, religious and, most importantly, political differences. In this respect, the symbolic legacy of classicism had much to offer for the cultural imagination of Yugoslavism. The examples include: Roman Verhovskoj's Monument and Crypt to the Defenders of Belgrade (1931), the nearby Memorial to the Russian Soldiers fallen in the war (1934), Ivan Meštrović's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on avala near belgrade (1934-1938) and Edvard Ravnikar's Ossuary of War Victims (1937-1939) in Ljubljana.

AB  - In 1889, on the occasion of celebrating the 500th anniversary of the Kosovo Battle (Vidovdan), the local Serbian Orthodox community of Habsburg Dalmatia built a church dedicated to Saint Lazar. While the church’s architectural features corresponded to local architectural tradition equally shared by the Catholics and Orthodox, its memorial function, centred around Vidovdan, was predominantly related to Serbs. When in 1935 the church’s bell cote was replaced by a new, “SerboByzantine” bell tower, this was not merely an architectural manifestation of a newly invigorated, exclusively Serbian memory of Vidovdan, but also a vivid mark of a new political order in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Apart from the novelty of “Serbo-Byzantine” references, the new structure referred to an ongoing scholarly reinterpretation of local architectural heritage, employing its imagery that had been considered genuinely Croatian. The transformed architecture of the “Dalmatian Lazarica” simultaneously re-Serbianized the memory of Vidovdan and nationalized both the history and identity of Dalmatian Kosovo on the eve of its inclusion into the Banovina of Croatia in 1939.

Straddling the National Divide: Yugoslavism, Furore Orientalis and Ivan Meštrović's Vidovdan Temple (1906-1913)

AB  - Modern interpretations of the Vidovdan Temple (1906-1913), the fundamental artwork associated with the Yugoslav project, have seen it as a symbol of multicultural, synthetic Yugoslavism. Yet these readings seem to be, to say the least, problematic. While working on his masterpiece the then already internationally-renowned Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović imagined it as an architectural-sculptural whole of gargantuan scale that would provide an alternative reading of the history of South Slavs on the brink of their political union. Dismissing deeply antagonizing and mutually exclusive histories of each particular South Slavic nation, he created a mixture of historical references mainly borrowed from archaic Greece and Oriental cultures such as Egyptian, Assyrian, Byzantine, as well as Gothic and paleo-Christian. Meštrović’s historicization and aestheticization of South Slavs’ alleged common identity was not a mere pseudo-historical visual concoction, but
was based on an elaborate ideological concept of Yugoslav primordialism that was inextricably linked with the ideological instrumentalisation of the Orient in Central Europe at the time. Consequently, his sculpted heroes created an alternative historical narrative of South Slav history and supported a vision of the past which became extremely instrumental in both legitimizing and questioning the Yugoslav project in decades to come.

Paradoxes of a Cultural Divide: European Identities and the Appropriation of Byzantine Architecture in the 19 and 20th Century

AB  - Since the beginning of the nineteenth century, many Western European nations have been historicized through a variety of disciplinary regimes—from political and cultural history, to archaeology and architectural history. This happened simultaneously with the construction of what is widely believed to represent a common European cultural identity. The perception and interpretation of Byzantine architecture represents a particularly telling example which simultaneously enforces and questions a supposed cultural divide that still dominates the perception of European cultural borders. Namely, Byzantium remained a commonplace for imagining a non-European otherness usually associated with its cultural inheritors—be they modern-day Turks, Russians or the Orthodox nations of the Balkans. However, the same Byzantine architectural legacy was simultaneously and reversely included in Western European historical imagination, becoming integral part of national heritage and acquiring a range of ideological functions and overtly political resonance.

On the Very Edge: Modernism and Modernity in the Arts and Architecture of Interwar Serbia (1918-1941)

AB  - While presenting the complexity of modernist art tendencies in this part of Europe, stretched between the international and local, national and regional, beyond the usual tropes of the civilizational belatedness and of what Maria Todorova has called the East European "Trap of Backwardness", this book reveals a bunch of more or less familiar subjects. While exploring the complexity and entanglement of Serbian modernism in visual culture, literature and architecture, the book helps reveal how global cultural impact of modernity developed interesting local variants which is still an understudied subject, marginalized in scholarly discourse. According to the applied methodological framework marked by avoiding "partisan scholarship" and "politicized discussions" — but also by avoiding the critical interrogation of typical interpretive truisms such as "Academism" or the "Serbo-Byzantine Style" — interwar Serbian modernism, nevertheless, remains largely de-contextualized in this volume. This unfortunately leaves the book lacking the scholarly weight to transform our standard understanding of Serbian modernism that has been firmly entrenched in the existing literature.

abstract = "While presenting the complexity of modernist art tendencies in this part of Europe, stretched between the international and local, national and regional, beyond the usual tropes of the civilizational belatedness and of what Maria Todorova has called the East European "Trap of Backwardness", this book reveals a bunch of more or less familiar subjects. While exploring the complexity and entanglement of Serbian modernism in visual culture, literature and architecture, the book helps reveal how global cultural impact of modernity developed interesting local variants which is still an understudied subject, marginalized in scholarly discourse. According to the applied methodological framework marked by avoiding "partisan scholarship" and "politicized discussions" — but also by avoiding the critical interrogation of typical interpretive truisms such as "Academism" or the "Serbo-Byzantine Style" — interwar Serbian modernism, nevertheless, remains largely de-contextualized in this volume. This unfortunately leaves the book lacking the scholarly weight to transform our standard understanding of Serbian modernism that has been firmly entrenched in the existing literature.",

AB  - The 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, where most of the Christian nation states of the Balkans erected their own national pavilions to resemble what each nation understood as a
Byzantine-related national style, was undoubtedly the most conspicuous example
of a wider cultural and political phenomenon of Byzantinism that had shaped national self-perception and represenation in the nineteenth century. At the Paris World Exhibition, the Byzantinized pavilions of Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania and Greece might be read as constructed images of national identity, with distinct ideological and political functions. Via the “Neo Greek”, “Serbo-Byzantine”, “Bulgarian-Byzantine” or “Romanian-Byzantine” styles, Byzantine architecture became the focus of the Balkan elites who, governed by the already-established patterns of nation-building historiography as well as by Western models of historical interpretation of the past, led the drive to fabricate a distinct image of national culture and to legitimize nationalistic goals and imperialistic expansionist ideologies.

Noseći u sebi tobože samu srž identiteta sopstvenog zavičaja, Bijelić je ostao upisan u dvostruki stereotip o autonomnom slobodnom stvaraocu i čoveku vezanom za svoje izvorno podneblje, svojevrsnom bosanskom Anteju koji je u intimnom dosluhu sa neobjašnjivim, ali autentičnim nasleđem Bosne. Međutim, Bijelićeva vizija nipošto nije predstavljala samo plod lične uobrazilje, niti samo zgodan interpretativan obrazac za kritičare, već se podudarala sa mnogo širom kulturološkom konstrukcijom Bosne u složenom političkom kontekstu Kraljevine Jugoslavije. Upravo se takva „imaginarna” Bosna — ka svojevrsna politička utvara, imaginarna teritorije čije je permanentno odsustvo iz političkog diskursa bilo nadomešteno njenim različitim kulturološkim predstavama — nalazila u srži Bijelićeve poetske imaginacije. Istovremeno, njegovi predeli zasićeni arhitekturom elementarnih oblika, obavijenoj atmosferom naglašene arhaičnosti u kolorističkoj simbiozi s prirodom, predstavljali su sastavni deo proizvođenja ideološki složenog i politički instrumentalnog mita o Bosni u kome su se preplitali primordijalnost, autohtonost i nepromenljivost; nesvodljivost na realne političke granice i etničke identitete; zamagljivanje prošlosti i stvarnosti društvenog života te isticanje sublimne i permanentne prirodnosti naspram artificijelne i nestalne istoričnosti.

AB  - Since the beginning of the nineteenth century, European nations have been perennially historicized through a variety of disciplinary regimes — from political and cultural history, to archeology and architectural history. Regardless of the complexity and diversity of changeable political systems and phases of development of particular European nationalisms, national historiographies have had a major role in distinguishing particular national identities according to their distinct historical background and cultural traditions. This phenomenon was based on the controversial and often dubious process of selection and invention of a suitable ‘national’ past, which consequently provided a framework for historicization of different national groups — both synchronically and diachronically. As a result, architectural historiographies throughout Europe have produced a complex system of similarities and dissimilarities between different nations, reinforcing well-established and operational cultural, political, and religious dichotomies that entirely dominate the perception of European nations and national identities today.

I analyze visual culture and intellectual history to show how this particular artwork became highly instrumental in creating and strengthening Yugoslavism's primordialist dimension, which sharply marked the South Slavic territories’ political landscape in the decade preceding the first Yugoslav state's creation. Not only did Meštrović's artwork epitomize the idea of a South Slavic primeval unity, dismissing the national distinctiveness of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, it also enunciated an emphatic message of South Slavic political unification. By analyzing the Vidovdan Temple's contemporaneous critical reception, I question its classical interpretation as a symbol of Yugoslav multicultural synthesis, arguing for a more contextsensitive and nuanced understanding of the ideology of Yugoslavism.
