In distinctive, yet similar ways, both films explore the relationship between film narratives and historical events, while the public\u2019s response to both films was largely determined by broadly established social, historical and political debates. Critical reception in Serbia and beyond was less about the films\u2019 narratives and more about the traumatic history they both revived. General criticisms of both films were concerned with the echoes of the shattering past in the present political context and with the portrayal of \u2018the Other\u2019 as clearly \u2018ethnic\u2019 perpetrators. Having started even before the films premiered, many of the polemics that were published about them, indeed, had an adverse effect thereby making it difficult for the films to be viewed objectively, without the national(ist) historical, identity, traumatic memory, revisionist and far-right accretions they had already accumulated. A few critical reviews made minimal reference to the film\u2019s social context; they were usually rather negative about <em>Dara <\/em>while they often praised <em>Aida.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultures-of-history.uni-jena.de\/serbia\/representing-trauma-through-films\">https:\/\/www.cultures-of-history.uni-jena.de\/serbia\/representing-trauma-through-films<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevena Dakovi\u0107: Representing Trauma &#8211; Writing the Past Into the Present Through Films. <em>Cultures of History Forum<\/em> (21.04.2022), DOI: 10.25626\/0136<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32033,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[13,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-filmovi-i-serije","category-novosti"],"acf":{"facebook_opis":""},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/historiografija.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/csm_Film_poster.jpg?fit=600%2C400&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":52580,"url":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/?p=52580","url_meta":{"origin":32032,"position":0},"title":"Conference &#8220;Living in the aftermaths: Trauma, politics and survival in Yugoslavia and successor states, 1945 \u2013 present&#8221;","author":"Branimir Jankovi\u0107","date":"21. travnja 2026.","format":false,"excerpt":"The conference aims to explore how war-related psychological distress was experienced, narrated, debated and reframed in Yugoslavia in the second half of the twentieth century.
