Sažetak
Zubak explores the emergence of Yugoslav disc jockeys in the late 1960s, examining the complexities of translating this pop-cultural profession into a new socialist environment. The chapter shows how this specific context, with its limited supply of commodities, pushed club DJs to develop more diverse skills than their western counterparts. Zubak traces a variety of roles performed by Yugoslav disc jockeys, from early mediators of pop culture to proto-entrepreneurs who paved the way for private businesses in the state run economy. ‘The Birth of Yugoslav Socialist Disc Jockeys’ identifies them as emblematic figures of late socialism who embodied central features of the period, such as the rise of consumerism, increasing westernization, the influx of market socialism and gradual ideological relaxation.
