Sažetak
The rise of new nation states in the region of Southeastern Europe is ironically happening at the historic moment when most nation states are progressively giving away their independence due to economic globalization. The state is no more “the omnipotent master of its territory”, but one field is exempted: this relates to control over people and determination of labour relations where “civic stratification” is paving the way for “social stratification”. The main motive behind this is a reduction in labour rights in order to achieve global competitiveness for a certain state with respect to “human resources”. For this reason, we have decided to approach the re-questioning of cultural identities from the bottom up, from the perspective of labour relations, taking as the subject of our examination “authors” or, in short, the “creative class”. We will rephrase the initial question accordingly by inverting the original phase of “cultural identities” into “identity of cultural workers” and ask ourselves what the identity of cultural workers would be in the context of their present labour relations.
