Utopia of the Uniform
Book • 2024
Utopia of the Uniform: Affective Afterlives of the Yugoslav People's Army explores the bonds created by compulsory military service in the Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA).
It examines how these bonds persisted even after the violent conflicts of the 1990s.
Tanja Petrović uses memories and material effects from former JNA conscripts to illustrate how their military service experiences shaped their views on collectivity and state-individual relations.
The book argues that the repetitive, ritualized practices of military service provided a framework for men from diverse backgrounds to coexist and form friendships.
It acknowledges the JNA's ability to foster interpersonal relationships and bring key political ideas into being.
