MUSIC AND LOCAL IDENTITY THE FESTIVAL OF YOUTH CULTURE OF SERBIA AS AN IDENTITY MARKER OF KNJAŽEVAC

Summary/Abstract: The anthropological consideration of music as a cultural phenomenon entails the analysis of meanings which are produced in synergy with a certain cultural context in which music is created and practiced. This understanding of music led to numerous analyses which have shown to which extent this phenomenon influences the formation of identity – be it individual, group, local or global. This paper represents an analysis of the influence of music on creating local identity, using the example of The Festival of youth culture in Knjaževac. The aim of the research is to show what an event like this means to the local population, to what extent is the music played at the festival a means of identification as well as how it influences the formation of notions about the city.
