La Jugoslavia postbellica: una moderna storia di conflitto e controllo sociale

Abstract

Post-War Yugoslavia: a Modern History of Social Conflict and Control The article aims at examining the post-war transition in Yugoslavia through the lens of the social conflict broadly speaking, ie. considering social tensions, discourses, and official measures taken for managing the socially marginal actors like prostitutes and beggars. The goal is testing, from this point of view, the most recent historiographical thesis about “phantom-borders” and post-imperial legacies. A second goal is to consider to what extent one of the most established approach for interpreting the experience of the first Yugoslavia, ie. focusing on the national conflicts, is useful for enlightening the postwar social transition of that country.
