Walking on the edges: Rosa Luxemburg in Yugoslavia

Have the ideas of Rosa Luxemburg represented a relevant point of reference in Yugoslavia, be it in theoretical or political terms? How was Rosa Luxemburg written about in Yugoslavia, if she was written about at all? Have her works been translated into Serbo-Croatian? Have members of Praxis — the most important journal of Marxist theory and Marxist humanism in Yugoslav space — wrote about Luxemburg's theory and politics? What about Luxemburg's legacy in Yugoslav feminist circles? In this presentation I will try to offer answers to those questions and go through some of the diverse examples of published texts on Luxemburg, from literary criticism, to socialist, feminist, and anarchist references. We might describe an analysis of Luxemburg’s legacy in Yugoslavia as “walking on the edges.” As moving between some kind of initial rapture and euphoria, due to knowledge of early works about her and the early Yugoslav translations, to the anguish accompanying the realisation that Luxemburg is too little present in the region today.
