Možnosť alebo nutnosť? Definícia juhoslavizmu a jej transformácie v podmienkach najnovších výskumov

Abstract

The paper analyses transformations and possible views of Yugoslav idea/Yugoslavism as an ideological and theoretical concept. The study aims to delimit, understood and conceptualize the notion of all terms which are connected to Yugoslav idea and to conduct an analysis, critique and interpretation of its key concepts with regard to domestic as well as foreign sources (mainly of western historiography, since Yugoslav does not pay too much attention to the topic). Theoretical basis rises mainly from van Dijk, Fairclough and Rabie. The analysis focuses primarily on the Yugoslavism on its ideological level. Could Yugoslavism be an ideology at all, and if so, under what conditions and to whom would it serve? Is it (political) ideology or an idea in this case? The most important task set is a clear categorization of often incorrectly used and subsequently interpreted terms in connection with Yugoslavism. The study offers an insight into the phenomenon of Yugoslavism in its ideological context and offers a definition(s) of this concept. The paper demonstrates huge complexity of the elaborated issue. An important criterion for research was to point out the (incorrect) use of individual terms in connection with the Yugoslav question, which the authors often use without logical justification.
