About the Journal
Journal Summary
Journal Muzikologija-Musicology (ISSN 1450-9814, eISSN 2406-0976) is a peer-reviewed academic journal established in 2001 that promotes contemporary Serbian musicological and ethnomusicological research in international circles; at the same time, by including contributions of eminent foreign scholars, it has become an important and reliable source on contemporary musicological and ethnomusicological scientific tendencies and knowledge around the world. It is dedicated to music research as an aesthetical, cultural, historical and social phenomenon, with a primary focus on musicological and ethnomusicological research. The Journal also welcomes approaches from diverse scientific disciplines (history, history of art and literature, ethnology, anthropology, sociology, communicology, semiotics, music psychology etc.) as well as interdisciplinary projects.
Three sections make up the backbone of the magazine. The Main Theme contains original articles related to a specific musicological or ethnomusicological topic. The Varia section contains scientific studies from a wider circle of thematic areas relevant to the artistic, vernacular, and ecclesiastical music traditions. The third section – Scientific Reviews and Polemics – comprises reviews of various musicological and ethnomusicological publications and reports on scientific meetings.
Until 2011 the journal was published annually. Due to an increasing interest among local and international contributors, the Editorial Board decided to start publishing two issues per year (June and December), both in print and in open-access digital format.

No. 38 (2025): Music and Dance of Roma in the Balkans and It's Diaspora
In keeping with the editorial policy of continuously engaging with contemporary scholarly trends, the Main Theme section of this year’s first issue of Musicology is dedicated to Romani music and dance in the Balkan countries and their diasporas. Of the five contributions, the first two offer different approaches to the historical aspects and the systematization of Romani music studies conducted over an extended period in Bulgaria and Serbia, respectively. The representation of Romani identity in music has proven to be a particularly fruitful topic, as demonstrated by a study focusing on several Yugoslav Black Wave films and their subsequent discographic releases. The subsequent article provides extensive data on the self-organization of Romani musicians in Hungary during the Austro-Hungarian period and the Horthy era. The final contribution compares ethnographic examples from Romani community life in Transylvania with data from other parts of the world to conceptualize the living quality of music, personal melodies, sonic agency, and musical empathy. The Varia section also includes five contributions, encompassing thematically and methodologically diverse studies related to the musical cultures of Georgia, Greece, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the former Yugoslavia, and Lithuania.
