Рад се заснива на
теренском истраживању обављаном међу припадницима српске
заједнице у Гњилану. У послератном контексту, радикално
промењеном етничком и
социјалном пејзажу, дискурс
припадника мале урбане енклаве
о себи и о другом формира
калеидоскоп сликâ рефлексивне
носталгије.
The paper is based on field research
carried out among members of the Serb
community in the town of Gnjilane in 2006. I
first discuss the multi-sited fieldwork, whose
goal was to study the relation between
ethnicity and other forms of collective
identification in the Serb community in
southeast Kosovo, in the profoundly changed
situation that has existed since 1999. The key
concept of this paper – nostalgia – is then established. I go on to discuss the
population of Gnjilane as reflected in the census, and the possibility of a census that
would reflect the complex social and ethnic situation in Kosovo. I also describe the
small urban Serb enclave in Gnjilane in the post-war period.
In the radically changed ethnic and social landscape that followed the war,
the discourse of members of the small urban enclave about themselves and the other
is a kaleidoscope of reflective nostalgia. Looked at “from above”, the perspective of
ordinary people, the past takes on a wider spect...rum of colours and emotions than the
official black and white images – both Serbian and Kosovan – of victims, aggressors
and never-ending hatred.
