Individual projects
The paper presents the key points of theoretical framework, methodological
strategies and empirical findings of the individual research project in the frame of
Roles, Identities and Hybrids project.
The focus of the project is the analysis of weekly newspaper in Serbia (Vreme
/Times) and in Slovenia (Mladina /Youth) in the time scope of five years (2000-2005),
from the point of mass media (re) construction of gender identities (man and woman,
masculinity and femininity). The research aims to shed light on the social changes, as
well as changes in media environment in post social societies and to point to the central
‘interpretative repertoires’ or ‘interpretative communities’ of institutions of mass media
in relation to gender discourses and gender identities.
In attempting to achieve these goals, research strategies are widely drawn on
methodological interdisciplinarity and multimodal analysis, which comprise qualitative
analysis, critical discourse analysis, social semiotics and linguistics. The key concepts
of representation, gender and discourse are elaborated in relation to mass media.
Finally, paper presents findings from the analysis of media sample and
conclusions, which are made on the basis of the analysis.

This study analyzes the establishment of the national Orthodox Churches1 in the
Balkans from the early nineteenth century to the end of World War II. It traces the
major stages in the development of Orthodoxy, especially in the Balkans. It sheds
light on the factors that brought about the group of national Orthodox Churches and
influenced the intensity and main directions in their development. It is an attempt to
overcome the stereotype image of the Orthodox Church as a socially immovable and
conservative institution and to reveal her internal dynamics. According to the author,
the national Churches appeared in the Balkans during last two centuries as a new type
of Orthodox Church that is different from the medieval one. They are a modern
phenomenon in the Orthodox world that needs special studies that will help for
understanding the religious problems in the Balkans today.
