We spent a lot of time in class this week discussing frameworks for studying this region and got into a discussion of nostalgia (Yugostalgia/Titostalgia) today. It's hard to define the region in a name, not only for the people who have lived in a so many countries (even if they haven't moved), but also for me. Am I studying abroad in Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia; the former Yugoslavia; the western Balkans; southeastern Europe??
Here is a YouTube clip we watched in class today displaying some of this nostalgia... I know it's in Croatian, but basically says: we were once one / but then split into six / then came blood and violence / was this all necessary?
