Abstract

The article focuses on the ignored and scarcely researched cultural side of the predominantly left ist student movement in communist Yugoslavia from the late 1960s and early 1970s, looking at it from the perspective of one of its main voice and actor: the youth press – the network of publications issued under the auspices of youth and student unions around which the student politicization initially evolved. Using their close links with the student movement, the article looks at the innovative traces of cultural policies of Belgrade, Zagreb and Ljubljana youth press, that emerged as an attempt to provide a fi tting response to the heated student politicization occurring between 1968 and 1972. Th e analysis is evenly divided between their attempts at direct politicization of culture and their search for some new, authentic student (counter)culture.
