The subject of our research in this paper are aspects of religious spirituality in contemporary Serbian poetry. First, we give an overview of poetic, ideological and cultural characteristics of poetic production in the last three decades, with certain value categorizations. We then direct our attention to the individual poetics of poets born in the seventies and eighties, whose poetry has a proven presence of Christian inspiration. Our goal is to establish a literary-historical and culturally distinct poetic flow and situate it within the History of Modern and Contemporary Serbian literature, predominantly secular. The focus of our analysis is not exclusively quotes, narratives or motifs from the Bible and patristic literature. We examine how Christian (Serbian-Byzantine and Western-Christian) spirituality participates in the formation of an individual poetic view of the world, as well as poetic spirituality that manifests itself through poetic images, expressions and figures. We are interested in the work of the religious consciousness of our poets in shaping their artistic, moral and value attitudes towards the phenomena of our epoch, but also towards the culture to which they belong. Therefore, we analyse the cultural models that these poets embrace in their poetry, as well as the humanistic messages that they place within their immanent poetics. We come to the conclusion that male and female poets, with their poetic and spiritual commitment, have taken the risk of deciding to give up poetry as a form of social engagement, aware in advance of the burden of the alternative and the minority.

In this paper, the author analyzes the phenomena of the first-level, second-level and third-level digital divide in the context of generations "digitalized from birth", with a focus on individual differences in the digital literacy of young people - the second-level digital divide. At the beginning of the 21st century, with the increasing availability of digital technology and the Internet, there is a gradual reduction of the digital divide - in terms of the availability of digital technologies, but, judging by empirical findings, it is also deepening - in terms of the digital literacy of young people and the benefits of using technology in everyday life. Despite this, the discourse about young people as "digital natives", after two decades since its appearance, is still present, especially in the media and in non-academic context. On the other hand, in recent years, under the cover of "moral panic", fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an increasingly popular discourse about young people as "digital cretins", who, thanks to the intensive use of the Internet and "have fun until death" are becoming more and more "shallow", threatening to collapse the civilizational heritage of human society. Scientists and researchers have a complex task that requires a nuanced theoretical approach, devoid of "techno-utopian" and "techno-pessimistic" predictions.

This article analyzes the political background behind the political decision to remove the play "Golubnjača" from the Serbian National Theater program in Novi Sad in 1982. It also highlights the public reactions to that decision, as well as the conflicting stances of Vojvodina and Serbian governments about this issue. The Novi Sad Communist Union committee banned the play arguing that it was promoting Serbian nationalism. However, the play continued showing in Belgrade because of the benevolent attitude towards it among Serbian politicians and the Yugoslav people. Still, the controversies behind the play led to huge debates in the Yugoslav public sphere. This case study examines the intellectual influence over the repressive government decisions.

In this paper, the authors have offered an overview of various teachings that fall under the umbrella of humanism. Although the paper primarily focuses on the humanist doctrine, it is often not easy to distinguish the theory of humanism from humanism in practice. In both cases, it turns out that humanism is such a wide-ranging concept that perhaps it is instructive to talk about humanisms instead. Although a single review article cannot present a detailed and comprehensive history of (the idea of) humanism and all the variations it has gone through, the authors believe that this work can provide readers with a basis for understanding and a framework for further research and reflection on humanism/humanisms.

Yamato Takeru is one of the most famous Japanese heroes. He has a carefully chosen name, which connects him with the state of Yamato, the predecessor of today's Japan. He is characterized by all the features of a mythical hero: courage, strength and ingenuity, but mythological story includes also fairy-tale motifs such as a miraculous sword, helpers, disguise, falling in love, and finally, supernatural death due to encounter with a numinous force. The oldest variants of the myth about this fearless warrior we can find in the first Japanese historical chronicles (8th century). Adding certain elements to the common ground and combining them in accordance with their own narrative aspirations, these texts gave their own recognizable variants of the myth of Yamato Takeru, which were a clear reflection of the ideology of the time. Regardless of the differences, these variants describe the achievements of Yamato Takeru as a key turning point, because in that semi-historical time that is also the beginning of national consolidation. By "calming and subduing" western and Eastern countries, he contributed to increasing the territory under imperial rule and strengthening the authority of the Yamato court. In the following centuries, new variants of the myth about this hero were created on these bases. Some are focused on territorial conquests and spreading of the influence of the imperial government, while the miraculous events related to the Kusanagi sword were more important to the others. Recently, Yamato Takeru has been used, in the same way as the other national icons, to create and highlight Japanese national identity, especially when it came to inspiring the people to selflessly lay down their lives for the country and the emperor.

Under the influence of the ideas of the Enlightenment, just in time after the French Revolution, educated bourgeois class that formed in many countries felt the immense need for books and reading. Due to the social changes that had affected Europe, the attitude towards books and libraries was also changing. In Europe, social processes took place that enabled the development of education, literacy, and thus the creation of a new readership, as well as new ways of reading, which led to the establishment and formation of various clubs and societies whose main purpose was to enable the access to the newspapers and magazines. The first such societies appeared in France, England and Germany during the 17th and 18th century, and other European countries followed this trend. Serbs in Vojvodina opened their first reading room in Irig in 1842. Until the revolution of 1848/49, Serbian reading rooms were established in Sombor, Kikinda and Novi Sad. The reading movement experienced its expansion in the second half of the 19th century, when the majority of reading rooms in Vojvodina towns and villages were founded. The paper includes a brief overview of the origin and development of Serbian reading rooms in the villages and smaller towns of Vojvodina, with a reference to their role in educational and cultural development, as well as development of the national identity.

The paper describes and studies two cases relating to the culture of remembrance of Jasenovac martyrs. The movie Dara from Jasenovac has drawn a lot of attention, achieved high ratings, but has also instigated some sharp reactions in a segment of the public. On the other hand, the exhibition Jasenovac - Camp of Death, Land of the Living, has not been much noticed by the general public although the reactions of the viewers were positive. Both projects were based on the idea "to uncover the name and the face of the victim" and both had received financial support from the authorities, but the public reactions to them were different. The reason for this undoubtedly lies in the nature of the media they used, since the film, unlike the indoor exhibition, has far more influence on the shaping of consciousness and the attitudes of broad public. However, when it comes to perception, we cannot overlook the insistence of the second project on a catharsis and reconciliation - with a strongly expressed Christian, New Testament ideas of penitence and resurrection. A distinctive non-religious dimension of the modern film industry may have prevented implementation of such approach to Dara from Jasenovac. Still, even this angle of artistic reflection is not without controversies, as it opens the door to moral and social issues of participation of the other side in the overcoming of our collective trauma.

The paper examines generational relations and their potential for social change or further development of consumerist society. First, some hopes of critical theorists are described with a focus on usefulness of generational conflict for social dynamics, but also more negative possibilities related to the deterioration of society and the failure of the project of modernity are examined. Three retrospective models are presented and their possible application in the case of digital phenomena. Ancient Socratic model already perceives the distancing between generations, the problem of knowledge formation and agressive rhetoric among citizens. This is presented in small case studies of knowledge production on Wikipedia and Twitter as a contested political terrain. Liberal Lockean model amplifies the importance of generational conflict for further liberalization of societies, but its theory also has comodifying and exploitative aspects, that are exemplified in family media repertoires, unpaid users' labour on platforms and commercially driven data processing. Romantic Rousseaun model adds nature-friendly and artistic romanticized aspects to intergenerational relations. The analysis shows that its potential for emancipatory language games and environmentalist activism are suppressed within a market oriented framework of digital realm. The final conslusion is that, while critical thinkers expected the conflict of generations would have emancipatory potential, the generational divide serves business and political interests instead.

Popular culture is a phenomenon that reflects the values of our societies and implies our active engagement in it. Thus, Star Wars films represent a special case. Since their appearance, the films created by George Lucas were double-coded - they included the critique of both current political and social climate. In the same manner, the books, video games and TV shows that developed from the original trilogy, attempted to emanate those same left-leaning values. Therefore, it did not come as a surprise that the new episodes of Star Wars starting from 2015, tried to preserve the same sentiments. This tendency reached its peak with The Last Jedi (2017), which directly addressed the problems of gender dynamics and discrimination, class struggles and war profiteering. However, this episode had a particularly polarizing effect on the Star Wars fandom. Those who negatively rated The Last Jedi as a form of spreading the "socialist agenda" have used their social media accounts to express their discontent, which has in turn resulted in the saga finale (The Rise of Skywalker, 2019) becoming the "greatest cultural theft of the decade". Therefore, the paper deals with the case study of The Rise of Skywalker, i.e. the correlation between the fandom and regressive values represented in the film. The main hypothesis is that popular culture, due to its active potential, becomes an ideological battlefield. The paper also intends to point out how The Rise of Skywalker has contributed to the collapse of continuity of the previous films, as well as of the Campbellian monomyth, which was the fundamental basis of Lucas' films, starting from 1977.

Originally composed music for museum applications (synomusic) is an innovative approach in presenting museum exhibits and attracting audience. However, its use is underdeveloped and the same is evident for related researches. Our pilot research aimed to explore the effects of such music on visitor experience in the Museum of Science and Technology in Belgrade. The study included surveys before (silent condition, SC) and after (music condition, MC) applying music in the museum spaces (N = 310 in total), as well as in-depth interviews in MC (N = 22). The results showed that the original, applied music improved the general experience of museum visits. The music, seen as an inseparable element of the experience, worked in interaction with the exhibits and the venue to liven up the experience, make it fuller and improve visitors' impressions. The effects of originally composed music for MNT permanent collection were identified in all three domains of the psychic process: emotional (improved visitors' moods), cognitive (awakened the memory, curiosity and the desire to spread the knowledge) and motivational (inspired play and action). The effects have manifested across all research groups, which notably also included the visually impaired museum visitors.
