Please join us for a book launch and discussion of Cultural Life of Capitalism in Yugoslavia: (Post)Socialism and Its Other (Palgrave, 2017), edited by Dijana Jelača, Maša Kolanović and Danijela Lugarić. The book offers a thought-provoking rethinking of the standard binary division between socialist and capitalist systems through the case study of the former Yugoslavia. Two of the book’s editors, Dijana Jelača (Brooklyn College) and Maša Kolanović (University of Zagreb), will introduce the book and contextualize it theoretical, historical, and sociopolitical frameworks, as well as highlight some of the volume’s most illuminating insights. The volume’s contributors Ana Hofman (Slovenian Academy of Science and Arts in Ljubljana) and Mitja Velikonja (University of Ljubljana) will discuss their individual chapter contributions within the larger context of the volume. The discussion will be moderated by Aleksandar Bošković (Columbia University).
