Cultural history and memory of youth work actions in Socialist Yugoslavia

我的博士学位将研究参与者的帐户和青年工作行动（YWAs）在社会主义南斯拉夫的政治记忆。农村青年是社会主义南斯拉夫的基础，形成了新生国家的支持基础。1946年，青年人在波斯尼亚建造了第一条青年瓦，即布尔奇科-巴诺维奇铁路。他们做艰苦的劳动，学习阅读，创造艺术，并写下他们的经历。YWA是南斯拉夫国家的一个特征，直到解体。现有的研究YWA地址国家驱动的努力，但一直没有一个单一的研究YWA参与者的文化输出。这个博士将分析视觉和书面的行动帐户，集中往往被忽视的农村青年。这项研究将分析从社会主义南斯拉夫后期到冲突后的波斯尼亚-黑塞哥维那的布尔奇科-巴诺维奇行动的政治记忆。该博士学位将有助于对青年参与革命运动的历史理解，以及青年行动在大众纪念文化中的作用。

My PhD will examine participant accounts and political memory of youth work actions (YWAs) in socialist Yugoslavia. Rural youth were fundamental to the foundation of Socialist Yugoslavia, forming the fledgling state's support base. In 1946, youth undertook the first YWA in Bosnia, the Brcko-Banovici railway. They did hard labour, learned to read, created art, and wrote about their experiences. YWAs were a feature of the Yugoslav state until dissolution. Existing studies of YWAs address state-driven efforts, but there has been no single study of YWA participants' cultural output. This PhD will analyse visual and written accounts of the action, centring often overlooked rural youth. This study will analyse political memory of the Brcko-Banovici action from late socialist Yugoslavia to post-conflict Bosnia-Herzegovina. This PhD will contribute to historical understanding of youth participation in revolutionary movements, and the role of youth action in mass commemorative cultures.
