KULTURNO PROMIŠLJANJE POLNIH ODNOSA U SAVREMENOJ SRBIJI
CULTURAL CONSIDERATION OF SEXUAL RELATIONS IN CONTEMPORARY SERBIA

Summary/Abstract: Based on the data acquired through qualitative research, and through the use of the theory of cultural models, the paper analyzes the cultural conceptualization of sexual relations/sex among a group of young heterosexuals in Belgrade. The basic premise of the paper is that the dominant trait of cultural thinking about sexual relations in contemporary Serbia is conservativism, or rather that it is dominated by gender determination and the asymmetry in relations of power among genders. Based on the overview of anthropological literature about heterosexuality published in foreign journals between 1990 and 2010, elements of heterosexual conservativism were isolated and their presence and representation was then tested in the data gathered through interviews with interlocutors in Belgrade.
