Description

The compulsory service for young men in the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) created bonds across ethnic, religious, and social lines. These bonds persisted even after the horrific violence of the 1990s in which many of these men found themselves on the opposite sides of the frontlines. In Utopia of the Uniform, Tanja Petrovic draws on memories and material effects of dozens of JNA conscripts to show how their experience of military service points to futures, forms of collectivity, and relations between the state and the individual alternative to those that prevailed in the post-Yugoslav reality. Petrovic argues that the power of repetitive, ritualized, and performative practices that constituted the military service in the JNA provided a framework for drastically different men to live together and befriend each other. While Petrovic and her interlocutors do not idealize the JNA, they acknowledge its capacity to create interpersonal relationships and affective bonds that brought the key political ideas of collectivity, solidarity, egalitarianism, education, and comradeship into being.
