    Quantum Music
    No. 24 (2018)

    The main theme of No 24 Quantum Music was inspired by the eponymous international project co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union (559695-CREA-1-2015-1-RS-CULT-COOP1, 2015-2018). For the first time, an institution from Serbia – the Institute of Musicology SASA – was the project leader within the Creative Europe programme, and the consortium of partners and associate partners comprised cultural, higher education and research institutions from Serbia, Slovenia, Denmark, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. This issue contains articles written by the authors who directly participated in this project, but also the scientists who joined the project during its realisation, as well as articles by authors who are not in any way related to his project – however, they are involved in a similar or related research within their own institutions. Nine texts whitten by physicists, mathematicians, engineers, composers, musicologists and pianists, illuminate various aspects of the permeation of quantum physics and music.

    Reflections of Socialism
    No. 23 (2017)

    The main theme of this issue, Reflections on Socialism, is inspired by the International Conference "Musical Legacies of State Socialism – Revisiting the Narratives About Post-World War II Europe" that took place at the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Belgrade in September 2015. Articles selected for this issue bring a cross section of topics and problem areas initiated by this conference; studies of Serbian music after World War II and music in other socialist countries alternate in order to allow readers to compare different contexts, whose specificities were predominantly determined by the strictness of the application of the socialist realist canon The theme Reflections of Socialism creates a colourful panorama of musical life in the period of state socialism, but also points to today's repercussions of certain systemic and ideological settings of that time.

    Urban Sonic Ecology
    No. 22 (2017)

    The main theme of the volume No. 22, Urban Sonic Ecology, is inspired by the international project City Sonic Ecology – Urban Soundscapes of Bern, Ljubljana and Belgrade, financed by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) within their SCOPES program. The Institute of Musicology SASA is one of the participants in this project, together with the Institute of Musicology, University of Bern, Switzerland, and the Institute for Interdisciplinary Research, Centre for Scientific Research of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Ljubljana, Slovenia. This highly innovative three-year project, during which the soundscapes of three European capital cities (Bern, Ljubljana and Belgrade) were recorded and analyzed comparatively for the first time, demonstrated how soundscapes and ambiances were transformed under the influence of transitional and other social and cultural changes.

    Music and Crisis
    No. 21 (2016)

    The year 2016 was globally perceived as the year marked by numerous crises — political, military, refugee, financial... Inspired by this, we decided to dedicate our Vol. 21 to the relationship between music and crisis, understood in the broadest sense. The authors who have responded to our call for papers discuss music and crisis in different ways and in various social and cultural contexts.

    Music and Empire
    No. 20 (2016)

    This jubilee issue features the topic Music and Empire, edited by Dr Ivana Medić. This theme was inspired by the centennary of World War I and prepared in collaboration with the BASEES Study Group for Russian and East European Music (REEM). The outbreak of World War I catalysed the disintegration of European empires and the subsequent establishment of national states. The articles gathered in this rubric discuss the important issues such as the role of music in the formation of small state nationalism in the age of Empire; the disciplines of folklore and ethnography and their role in the creation of imperial ideologies; the musical representation and construction of national and imperial identities and manifestations of orientalising or exoticising tendencies; musical consequences of the continuation of empires and ‘empires’ in the twentieth century; the musical historiography of the empire and its role in establishing and maintaining national and imperial identities; and the effects of the decline and dissolution of empires and ‘empires’ on constructed musical identities, ideologies and official cultural policies in regard of music. The rubric Varia contains three articles that offer new insights into some of the most pressing issues of the Serbian church, art and folk music, and the last two papers are interdisciplinary.

    (Ethno)Musicology at the Turn of Millennium (II)
    No. 19 (2015)

    In this current time of transition from one millennium to another, humanistic disciplines are still being developed, simultaneously with a turnaround regarding thematic directions and study methods. Conceived trends in thinking and research are being reshaped and receive new guidelines, in parallel with contemporary ideas and significant, sometimes radical, changes in society and culture, with new forms of communication, using different media. Besides this, ideological starting points are also continually being reshaped. At the same time, there are new experiences and achievements in the humanities, and the discourse methods encompassed are increasingly based on experiences of the most varying theoretical approaches. The new fields in which processes are unfolding in the domain of social and cultural trends, as well as their general reception and perception, also condition changes in perspective in the observation of certain processes in musical culture, the context of musical performance, and even the structures of actual musical texts. The lively interest in these phenomena has determined the main theme for works in this and the next edition of Musicology: (Ethno)Musicology at the Turn of the Millennium. This edition encompasses a wide spectrum of current questions in the fields of musical, religious, traditional, and popular music, as well as in the area of multimedia art expression.

    Aspects of Performance in (Ethno)Musicology I
    No. 16 (2014)

    The act of performance alone is extremely inspiring for observation from different aspects, in the fields of both musicology and ethnomusicology, and particularly where these two disciplines converge. Dedication to the Aspect of Performance in (Ethno)Musicology as a topic for the next two numbers of Muzikologija reflects the liveliest interest shown by scholars in various forms of performance in the domain of artistic, church/religious, traditional, world music, popular music from different periods, and in various geographical and cultural environments. The issue contains works on artistic and church music: from semiotic perspectives in relation to the issues of performance, through an informed performance of Haydn’s sonatas, to Serbian salon music and church singing in the nineteenth century. Musicologists and ethnomusicologists have also devoted several works to the peripheral areas of two disciplines: the questions of ideological and political aspects of the work of the Baltic Youth Philharmonic, as well as a work concerning a world music ensemble in England born with roots in Serbia.  Anniversary of the greats of our musical culture – one hundred years from the deaths of Davorin Jenko and Stevan Stojanović Mokranjac – has their own separate section within a thematic unit dedicated to Jenko and Mokranjac.

    Six Decades of the Institute of Musicology SASA
    No. 10 (2010)

    Musicology, the journal of the Institute of Musicology SASA, was started in 2001 by then middle generation of its members. The journal's 10th anniversary is a small jubilee, which the current editor Katarina Tomašević wanted to mark by dedicating this number to the Institute, its work and its history. For that reason, this volume has a guest editor, who has been a member of the Institute over the last four decades. The issue also contains speeches given at the celebration of the Institute's 60th Anniversary (2008) and the programmes of the concerts organized on that occasion at the Gallery of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts.

  • Muzika između dva svetska rata / Music Between the Two World Wars
    No. 1 (2001)

    We have several major motives for starting a journal called Musicology.

    With this annual publication we wish to make our contribution to research on Serbian musical heritage and its presentation to domestic and international expert public. Our intention is to put special emphasis on discussions of themes not limited to local, national music but instead to include broader comparisons and observations. We also believe that contributions by our colleagues from abroad concerning similar problems in their areas can provide suitable opportunities for mutual exchange of information and direct comparison of scientific attitudes, opinions and conclusions.

    With a feeling of great loss, we remember the late academician, professor Vlastimir Peričić who greatly encouraged the founding of this journal.
