Op donderdag 29 augustus vindt er in de Anarchistische Bibliotheek / infocafé De Bollox een infoavond plaats over anarchisme in Servië.

Het zal gaan over de geschiedenis van de anarchistische beweging in Servië, van haar ontstaan eind negentiende eeuw, haar marginale rol in de beide wereldoorlogen en het socialistische Joegoslavië, en haar heropleving in de jaren negentig, met name door de hardcore punk scene, van de twintigste eeuw. Bijzondere aandacht zal uitgaan naar de rol van Bakunin en de link tussen Gavrilo Princip en het anarchisme. Ook zal er ruim aandacht wezen voor het giftige nationalisme in deze regio en de rol van extreem rechtse en fascistische groepen.

Voertaal: Engels

On Thursday 29 august the Anarchist Group Amsterdam is organizing an info afternoon in the Anarchist Library / Info Café The Bollox on the history of anarchism in Serbia. After the presentation there’s room for discussion and questions afterwards.

1. A SHORT HISTORY OF ANARCHISM IN SERBIA

The history of the workers movement in Serbia started in the late 19th century. After Serbia became independent after the Berlin Congress (1878) socialist ideas started to spread among the working class which started to organize themselves. Besides socialist and communist ideas, anarchist ideas also had a big influence, especially the ideas of Bakunin. Although some anarchist groups were formed in the beginning of 20th century, anarchism lost the battle against state socialism and communism. But in the 90′s of 20th century some things changed. New anarchist groups appeared, the punk movement brought in some new ideas and some interesting activities started. This continues up and until today.

What was the real influence of anarchism in Serbian society? Who were first anarchists? What was their main activity? What is the link between Bakunin and Serbian anarchism? What is the link between Gavrilo Princip and anarchism? Where were the anarchists during the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the Second World War, and Socialist Yugoslavia? When did anarchism start to become appealing again? What about anarchism and the punk movement? What are current anarchist groups and collectives up to?

All these questions will be answered during this presentation/discussion.
