Alienation Effects by Branislav Jakovljevic

Alienation Effects by Branislav Jakovljevic

Examines the interplay of artistic, political, and economic performance in the former Yugoslavia and reveals their inseparability

“A brilliant and much-needed book relevant to debates in art and performance away from hackneyed Western European/American ideas of neoliberalism and late capitalism—or the tendency to ignore shifts in political and economic structures altogether while mystifying trends in artOne of the most rigorous and original books on performance… . In a way that few academic books achieve, it movingly weaves personal history with incisively theorized political, economic, and art/performance histories.”
—Amelia Jones, McGill University

“This unique book explores unfamiliar aspects and nodes between artistic and economic performances in Yugoslavia.… thoroughly researched, well documented and provocatively written, [it] sheds a different light onto a tragic history, with ample explanations that make it comprehensive even to those less familiar with this part of the world and its recent history.”
—Aleksandra Jovicevic, La Sapienza University
