dc.descriptionThis paper interrogates the development scenarios proliferating in the Serbian public sphere since the ‘Democratic change’ of October 2000. While the state’s mythologizing of ‘progress’ and the promise of development are reaching a peak under the current regime, the rhetoric of ‘new’ post- socialist and post-democratic modernity is losing its momentum. The disillusioned and the disenfranchised of the Serbian society – the rural and the disadvantaged populations – have begun to react to the continuing attempts at plunder of the land and its resources outside of the existing political venues and purposefully away from the established political elites. The paper explores potentials in the current emergence of values and understandings of life essentials of the people of the land, embodied in the popular movement and uprisings against the ‘theft of rivers’, occurring despite the constructed but all-consuming discourse of non-alternatives to the mainstream idea of ‘progress’.ger
