PRACTICE OF TRANSITIONAL PROCESSES IN SERBIA AS CULTURE OF ANTIURBANITY

Abstract

At least during last two decades it has been clear that Serbia is on a path of antimodernization.Absence of a clear social concept which would lead to a modern, democraticand civil country can be documented and traced at several different levels. This paperdiscusses causes and consequences of some anti-urban processes, which represent the practiceof country’s latter transitional path: urbanization is at first place. The creative possibilitiesand the dichotomy urban-rural are also being discussed, as union of two cultural models. Thetheoretical and practical platform, on which the paper stands, is based on the attitude thatculture of antiurbanity appears in Serbia as the practice of transitional processes.
