ABSTRACT
Both temporal and spatial qualities of utopias are employed as means of state spectacle. “The time of the celebration was supposed to renew the primordial, ideal time, the time of the utopia” (Todorović 2010). This was achieved through a majority of means, from constructing the specific spatial framework to carefully selecting the character and dramaturgy of the events that are to take place within it. This research will look into the spatial framework, multiple relations this framework forms with the events, and the effect it has on the observer of the spectacle. The main hypothesis it sets to prove is that Yugoslavia is actualized as a utopia in the liminal field of the observer, during the festivities of the Days of Freedom, at the location Slobodište, near Kruševac, Serbia.
