Pop-Mythological Urine Marking of our Streets

Research analyzes discursive meanings of ethno-religious street graffiti, and consummation and reception of their texts and contextual messages in Banja Luka, once a military, and nowadays a political center of ¿RS¿ (¿Republic of Srpskä). Ethno-religious graffiti are inflammable form of street art whose narrative contain prevailing national and religious features, themes and myths of new-Serbian pop-nationalistic meta-narratives of 1990¿s. In today¿s post-war and post-genocidal context of ¿RS¿ they are true ethno-fascistic hate speeches, but also a form of street postproduction of dominant official memory narratives, identitarian practices and ethno-exclusivism of the Serbian ethno-political elite in BiH (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and Belgrade. By emphasizing ethnic and religious differences, new-Serbian ethno-exclusivism and racial or religion elitism, by glorifying war crimes and war successes or by hating ¿others¿, these graffiti aggressively produce visibility of ¿our stories¿, in such a powerful way that they produce discursive invisibility, auto-censorship and oblivion of ¿others¿.
