ABSTRACT

the systematization of music broadcast on yugoslav radio presents a model of genre categories and a resulting value hierarchy that has had broad application in the institutions of culture, in the music industry and by the public. Because the structural position of NCFM within this systematization was defined by its relation to two principal genres—zabavna and narodna music—radio represents the essential setting for the analysis of NCFM broadcast value and programming policies. These policies, which point to a dynamic of inclusion and exclusion, are addressed later as a case study of one of the nationally most popular radio shows, Ðerdan (Necklace), broadcast by Radio Sarajevo.
