An Older and More Beautiful Belgrade

A Visual Chronicle of the Milošević Era

By Mileta Prodanović Edited by Robert Horvitz
Translated by Maria Milojković
Central European University Press

This substantial essay depicts urban collapse in an exceptionally difficult period of the Serbian capital. The author has marshalled facts, reflections, photographs and other imagesto demonstrate the transformation of Belgrade during the Miloševi? years. With the theoretical grounding of cultural anthropology, history studies, culture of memory, history of art, and urbanism, Mileta Prodanovi? considers changes to the built environment and urban landscape in the city in the 1990s. He covers many visual aspects of life with great ingenuity: shopping centers, unregulated construction and "wild" modifications of buildings, new buildings (broadcasting studios, shops, homes) that do not fit the surroundings, bad taste in home furnishings (camp, kitsch), boondoggles such as the international art center, problematic historical markers like the obelisk of the eternal flame, billboards, store displays, electoral propaganda, graffiti, grave-markers and cemetery memorials, coins and paper money, calendars, beer labels, and even religious icons (and more). All this information is provided with some critique and much implied comparison to past standards.

About the Authors

Mileta Prodanović — painter, writer and a major cultural figure in Serbia — was born in Belgrade. He studied architecture and painting at Belgrade's University of Arts, Faculty of Fine Arts. Prof. Prodanović was Serbia's representing artist at the Venice Biennale in 1986. Retired now, the author's last academic positions were as a full-time professor and Dean of the University of Art, Belgrade. Maria Milojković lives in Belgrade and works as an English/Serbian translator. She has a master's degree in postmodern English literature and is an online content creator for Medium.com A US citizen living in Prague since 1991, Horvitz began visiting Serbia and the other Yugoslav republics in 1993 as the Open Society Institute's regional consultant for electronic media and journalism. More recently he has been producing policy studies for the European Commission, the World Bank, the International Telecommunication Union, and national governments on the regulation and use of radio frequencies. He currently teaches at Anglo-American University in Prague.
