The Role of Music in the Formation of Croatian Nation-State: Macro- and Micro-Perspectives
Before Romanticism matured as an attitude, proponents of achieving a collective selfhood aspired to render the emotion of belonging as something tangible. The power of music as both an emotion and a rational construct runs parallel to political feeling. But there remains a basic contradiction. Music can achieve perhaps a unique capacity to communicate, as it affirms the sense of shared community, but also the fascination of contagion to outsiders willing to give themselves up to its rhythms and melodies. In this academic study, Tijana Trako Poljak of the University of Zagreb explores the nature of musical “nation-building” (in Reinhard Bendix’s famous formula) in the new-old independent Croatia, a stauchly nationalist entity which came out of the collapse of Communist Yugoslavia in 1995. She is particularly aware of the role of songs, from the national anthem to protest lyrics, and shows how a political system in the making can coincide with the formation of an independent musical market.
