Psychology, Popular Culture and the Construction of the Identity in Yugoslavia
With its proximity to Vienna and the intellectual world of the late Habsburg monarchy, a knowledge and consciousness about psychology was present at the inception of the first Yugoslavia. The influence of the discipline still permeates the arts, popular culture and the discourses of everyday life in the successor states to Yugoslavia. Forms of self-deprecation and stereotypes about the peoples about the Dinaric region and Muslims have had a profound impact on the region and a continual interplay between intellectuals and the public has at times meant that life has imitated science.
