YugoLab: The Research Laboratory of Socialism and (Post)Yugoslav Studies is organizing a book seminar by dr Latinka Perović, a retired Principal Research Fellow, “Russian Ideas and Serbian Replicas” (Sarajevo, University press, 2018). The event is scheduled on Friday, April 15th, 2022, at 2 pm at the Institute of Philosophy in Social Theory in Belgrade.

The Research Laboratory of Socialism and (Post)Yugoslav Studies (YugoLab) brings together a multidisciplinary team of historians, sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists, theorists and other researchers in the humanities and social sciences whose aim is double thematization. On the one hand – the study of socialism as a real historical process in the past, and an attempt to think of a counterbalance to the currently existing multi-level matrix of domination and the social thinking that results from it, on the other. The second part of this laboratory is devoted to the study of the Yugoslav state and society during the twentieth century, with a particular focus on its second half. The laboratory asserts its research and knowledge potential through the organization of forums, round tables, scientific conferences, book promotions, as well as through national and international project activities.
