Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Contextualizing turbo-folk within a wider history of the region, the essays unpack the many contradictions and anxieties around constructions of national identity through popular music in the contemporary Balkans. Here, turbo-folk controversies become especially heated, since many (if not all) of the former Yugoslav states are still searching for a stable national identity in the aftermath of recent wars, breakdown of the communist project, and a longer historical legacy of colonization.
