title: Photographic Archive of Student Protest Banners from the Faculty Blockades in Serbia, 2024–2025
title: Fotografska arhiva studentskih transparenata tokom blokada fakulteta u Srbiji, 2024-2025

description: This dataset was collected as part of the project "The Wave of Student Revolt in Serbia: University Blockades 2024–2025", conducted by the Institute of Sociological Research, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade. The student protest in Serbia, which defined the winter of 2024 and the spring of 2025, began with faculty blockades in late 2024. The catalyst for this socio-political crisis was a tragic incident on November 1, 2024, when sixteen citizens lost their lives—just a few months after the ceremonial reopening of the renovated station. The event sparked immediate protests by opposition groups and members of the public.

 

The dataset consists of photographs of student protest banners, gathered through field visits to university faculties during the student blockades. The population of banners was highly dynamic, with new ones appearing and older ones being removed or destroyed throughout the data collection period. The dataset thus captures the temporal and spatial heterogeneity of student protest expression during this period.

 

Photographic data was collected between December 2024 and February 2025 at 35 faculties across 5 universities in Serbia:





University of Belgrade: Faculty of Philosophy, School of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Architecture, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Special Education and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Philology, Faculty of Physics, Faculty of Chemistry, Faculty of Mathematics, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Dentistry, Faculty of Economics

University of Arts in Belgrade: Faculty of Music, Faculty of Fine Arts, Faculty of Applied Arts, Faculty of Dramatic Arts







University of Niš: Faculty of Law, Faculty of Economics, Faculty of Philosophy, Faculty of Medicine







University of Novi Sad: Faculty of Philosophy, Faculty of Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Technical Sciences, Academy of Arts







University of Kragujevac: Faculty of Economics, Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Philology and Arts, Faculty of Medical Sciences



The dataset includes 929 photographs documenting various student protest-related materials. 

 

 
description: Baza podataka prikupljena je u okviru projekta „Talas studentskog bunta u Srbiji: Blokade 2024/2025”, koje je realizovao Institut za sociološka istraživanja Filozofskog fakulteta Univerziteta u Beogradu. Studentski protest u Srbiji koji je obeležio zimu 2024. i proleće 2025. godine počeo je blokadama fakulteta krajem 2024. godine. Povod za ovu društveno-političku krizu bio je događaj od 1. novembra 2024. godine, kada je šesnaest građana poginulo, što je usledilo samo nekoliko meseci posle svečanog otvaranja renovirane stanice. Neposredno nakon tog događaja usledili su protesti opozicije i građana.

Baza podataka sadrži fotografije studentskih protestnih transparenata, prikupljenih tokom terenskih obilazaka fakulteta za vreme studentskih blokada. Ukupan broj transparenata dinamično se menjao – novi su se neprestano pojavljivali, dok su se stariji uklanjali ili uništavali tokom perioda prikupljanja. Baza podataka stoga osvetljava vremensku i prostornu raznolikost u načinu izražavanja studentskog protesta u ovom periodu.

Fotografski materijal prikupljan je od decembra 2024. do februara 2025. godine na 35 fakulteta u okviru 5 univerziteta u Srbiji:





Univerzitet u Beogradu: Filozofski fakultet, Elektrotehnički fakultet, Građevinski fakultet, Arhitektonski fakultet, Mašinski fakultet, Pravni fakultet, Fakultet za specijalnu edukaciju i rehabilitaciju, Filološki fakultet, Fizički fakultet, Hemijski fakultet, Matematički fakultet, Fakultet veterinarske medicine, Medicinski fakultet, Stomatološki fakultet, Ekonomski fakultet
