In 1979 the oratorio We Are All a Single Party was performed, composed by the
Yugoslav composer Rudolf Bruci, who in an interview for the Novi Sad daily
newspaper Dnevnik explained his driving motives in the following way: ?I
wanted to preserve the spirit of our revolutionary songs and to speak in a
modern, familiar way, understandable to everyone, about the decades in which
our revolution was born and grew; about the legendary activities of pre-war
communists, the difficult days of the War of National Liberation, the
liberation and reconstruction of the country, about Tito and his invaluable
contribution to the development of our selfmanagement socialism and
non-aligned humanism? (Dnevnik, 10 April, 1979). In this article I argue
that the syntagm ?non-aligned humanism? is suitable for identifying the
connection between the aesthetic and the political in Rudolf Bruci?s
creative output, observed as a consistent author?s opus. At the core of this
thesis lies the assumption that non-alignment in regard to the West or East
was a major political and aesthetic orientation of Yugoslav self-management
socialism. The intersubjective field of this self-management socialist
pluralism produced creative entities - composers such as Bruci - whose works
were created under the principles of direct political engagement and
modernist aestheticism as different manifestations of the same ideology.
Within the specific rationality of non-aligned humanism, the concrete
poetic-morphological characteristics of Bruci?s compositions become coherent
subjective (Bruci?s personal) and objective (social) achievements.</jats:p
