Abstract

Through ethnographical, phenomenological and semiotical perspective, the article examines the first mass tattoos in the entire region of ex-Yugoslavia, which permanently marked the members of Yugoslav armed forces. Through the analysis of those bodies, imprinted with socialist history and through the narrations of tattooed soldiers from the Yugoslav People's Army (YPA), I have placed those tattoos between the subversion of power and incorporation of the dominant ideology. They exist in the antithesis between uniformity and subjectivity, between regimes of memory and memory politics, in the fold of historiography as embodied souvenirs. Through this vibrant phenomenon with ideological echoes even in the present-day, I problematize the readings and compartmentalizations of the tattoos from YPA. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
