Creating Yugoslav identity with the help of construction modernist monuments
Chlebovská, Markéta ; Žíla, Ondřej (advisor) ; Otčenášek, Jaroslav (referee)
This master's thesis examines the shaping of the collective Yugoslavian identity after World War II, utilizing the construction of post-war socialist monuments. The thesis outlines the relationship between monuments and memory politics of the state, focusing on the critical period of modernist memorial construction in the 1960s and 70s. At that time, the monuments were part of an ideological program that sought to create an official interpretation of war events to gain control over society. The thesis includes the historical context, which describes the development in the construction of monuments from the end of World War II to the disintegration of Yugoslavia. It examines the extent to which the monuments were linked to tourism, leisure, and spirituality, as well as the role of the veteran organization S(U)BNOR. Part of the research is devoted to places that did not resonate with the official narrative. All of the above is then demonstrated on specific examples in Serbia: Kragujevac, Niš, Kruševac, Kosmaj and Kadinjača.

This thesis deals with the topic of Serbian painting at the beginning of 20th century, specifically Impressionism. The text outlines the situation of Serbian painting at the end of 19th century and general tendencies of traditional artists to paint monumental historic topics. The paper captures impulses which bring the Serbian painting from old historicism to modern European level. The key moments are an opening of an art school in Belgrade and education of young painters in European cities. The period of Serbian Impressionism is divided in a few stages. The inaugural stage is about searching the basic characteristics of impressionism, the next stage is characterized by the painters' confidence in their style and making real impressionistic artworks and at the last stage, a peak period of Impressionism, Kosta Miličević and Milan Milovanović paint their best paintings, outside of Serbian area. The paper continues with an analysis of the public opinion and an opinion of experts after the end of the period. At the end of this thesis the attention is payed to the contact between Czech and Serbian Impressionism, mainly to Cyril Kutlík, Czech founder of the art school in Serbia and to a Kosta Miličević who studied in Prague and was influenced by the city.
