Distinguished Visiting Scholar Sreten Ugričić to Discuss Art, Exile, and Political Dissidence, Oct. 15—Dispatch October 8, 2015 On Thursday, October 15 at 4 p.m., Distinguished Visiting Scholar Sreten Ugričić will discuss the tensions between self-censorship and inner emigration, a form of political disassociation and dissidence, under totalitarian regimes. Ugričić, a political and intellectual exile from Serbia and a former a Yugoslavian national, will discuss the status of art and literature produced in totalitarian regimes such as Nazi Germany (1933-45) and the Soviet Union during the Stalin era (1924-53). Ugričić will explore the options available for those artists who do not go into exile: whether they choose to continue their artistic production, to cease it, or to hide it. In his talk, he will question whether inner emigration, a form of political disassociation and dissidence, is just another form of self-censorship or whether it is possible to claim inner emigration with credibility and integrity. Ugričić is the author of ten books covering multiple genres including novels, short stories, essays and theoretical texts. He served as Director of the National Library of Serbia from 2001 until January 2012. He has been living in exile since 2012, and from 2013-15, he was a visiting scholar at the Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies at Stanford University.
