Karin Hofmeisterov\u00e1 odr\u017eat \u0107e predavanje o Srpskoj pravoslavnoj crkvi nakon 2000. godine \u2013 u postmilo\u0161evi\u0107evskoj Srbiji.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The process of democratic transitions after the fall of communism in Eastern and Southeastern Europe enabled churches to comeback into the public sphere and led to the de-secularisation of societies. The Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC) became one of the most powerful actors in post-Milo\u0161evi\u0107 Serbia in a spiritual\/cultural, political and economic sense. The SOC has been considered to be the most credible institution in Serbia by a majority of Serbs. In such a position, the SOC influences the hegemonic narratives of many issues in contemporary Serbia. Due to the conservative nature of Orthodox churches together with specific historical interconnections between Orthodoxy, national identity and political power in the Balkans, the SOC\u2019s stances often clash with the Eurocentric teleological narratives of change and proclaimed \u201cWestern\u201d values. This ambivalence became one of the characteristic patterns of the Serbian development after 2000. In the seminar, I will elaborate on the main trends in the SOC\u2019s official narratives pertaining to the selected socio-politically relevant issues and examine whether the SOC\u2019s narratives lead or follow public discussion and, contrarily, to which topics the SOC creates counter\/alternative narratives. In this way, I will also assess the relevance of the concept of the triad of church-nation-state, highly popular in SOC\u2019s discourse since the late 1980s, and the dynamics between the particular actors of the triad.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Karin Hofmeisterov\u00e1<\/strong> is a PhD candidate and teaching assistant at the Institute of International Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University in Prague.
