Abstract
This paper examines the concept of banal nationalism as often unconscious,
routine processes that nations reproduce on a daily basis. Banal nationalism is
recognisable in the use of national symbols but also in language and culture. The
purpose of this paper is to determine whether Slovenian folk-pop music is one of
these processes, and in which ways and strategies we can detect its reproductive
role in banal nationalism that on a daily basis reminds its listeners of their national
identities. Methodologically, the article is based on the content and a textual
analysis of compositions by three of the most often listened to folk-pop ensembles,
demonstrating that the national narrative can be identified in a smaller proportion
of all analysed compositions in three sections: the idea of nation as an imaginary
community or home(land), national (auto)stereotypes, and patriotic feelings.
期刊介绍：
The journal Družboslovne razprave was first published in 1984. It publishes double-blind peer reviewed articles in Slovenian and English languages in the fields of sociology, media studies, political science, cultural studies and other studies which are close to these fields. Additionally, it publishes book reviews, mostly of social science books published in Slovenian language. The journal is published three times (April, September and December) a year. Articles published in the journal have to be characterized by high level of research originality and address the topics that are relevant to the scientific community in which the journal is grounded and should correspond to the global research trends in the field of social sciences. The journal fosters theoretical and methodological diversity, i.e. it publishes contributions drawing on different traditions in social sciences.
