“…Perak 2019) is accepted (although not exclusively) both within the scholarly and broader public discourse. However imagined these communities might be, one deals with the material consequences of many aspects of in everyday life, not least because this is still one of the dominant organisational principles of the world (Malešević 2013). Discussing the current "rise" of nationalism as a nationbased ideology, Bieber emphasized inclusion and exclusion as two main principles of constituting (Bieber 2018: 521), operating on both an individual and collective level.…”

This paper discusses the role of metonymy, especially place-for-people, in current constructions of national identity. The corpus consists of ten political speeches (commemoration and election speeches) from Germany, Montenegro and North Macedonia used to detect and examine different levels of variation: from text type to cross-linguistic differences in the use of metonymies. The analysis showed that the most frequent metonym in two Western Balkan countries is the country name, referring to both the speaker as representative of an institution, and population. By contrast, the country name is rarely used in German speeches due to particular communicative and cultural factors. At the pragmatic level, metonymies perform a number of functions, such as legitimization, collectivization and evaluation. Moreover, they are used also as euphemisms and argumentation topos.

“…This line of thinking builds on the work of three scholars in particular: Jonathan Fox, Paul Mojzes, and Vjekoslav Perica (Fox 2002;Mojzes 1994Mojzes , 2015Perica 2002). At the same time, my conceptualization also draws more generally from the work of five scholars of nationalism and ethnicity, Anthony D. Smith, Benedict Anderson, Eric Hobsbawm, Siniša Malešević, and Vjeran Katunarić (Smith 1991, 1998, 2009Anderson 2006;Hobsbawm 2012;Hobsbawm and Ranger 1992;Malešević 2013Malešević , 2019Malešević , 2006Katunarić 1994). Most importantly, unlike ethnic religion (ethnoreligion), I use ethnoreligiosity to point to the negative attributes of the connections between ethnic and religious elements in a society.…”

The Theology of the Ethnocultural Empathic Turn: Towards the Balkan Theology of Political Liberation

The theology of the ethnocultural empathic turn, on the general level, encompasses ethnocultural empathy, which, as a branch of social psychology, strives for a thorough understanding of the life context of those ethnically and culturally different from ourselves. In the context of Christian theology, this turn also embraces the turn reflected in Mt 15:21–28 (Mk 7:24–30), in which Jesus expands his missionary work from the locally based “House of Israel” into the global realm to include the entire “inhabited world”. In this essay, the theological discourse of ethnocultural empathic turn is embedded within a specific sociopolitical context, which brings us to the Balkans, i.e., the post-Yugoslav framework, where we discuss the legacy of Bishop Srećko Badurina and layperson Franjo Starčević. During the disintegration of the Yugoslav Federation, they vigorously resisted the dominant ethnonationalist-religious persuasions of the Croatian Catholic and Serbian Orthodox communities. They stood up for those who faced elimination due to the policy of ethnic cleansing. Today, both can serve as the foundation for the establishment of the theology in question, aiming at the development of the first post-Yugoslav contextual theology based on the political theology and the theology of liberation, capable of tackling the phenomenon of ethnoreligiosity as one of the most pressing problems plaguing this region.

“…historically led to the expansion of citizenship to disenfranchised social strata and, thus, to social and political inclusion. Others note that the inclusion of the broad masses has often been accompanied by cultural homogenisation, and ethnic cleansing (Malešević, 2013;Mann, 2012;Tilly, 1990, Wimmer, 2002. Another strand of literature assesses the effects of civil wars on the citizenship, cultural pluralism, and migration policies of contemporary states.…”

From Ascriptive to Participatory Citizenship: Social Conflict, Political Belonging, and the Liberal Nation-State

Recent decades have witnessed waves of populism, diverse civil conflicts as well as political, economic, demographic, and environmental disruptions. While both scholars and the general public often talk about the 'crisis of citizenship', we chart several important elements of this 'crisis' and explain why they can be viewed as an important and, perhaps, promising transformation. In view of this transformation, the current understanding of citizenship should be decoupled from the normative ideals which associate it with the liberal nation-state, reconsidered to include conflict as its constitutive dimension, expanded by incorporating a diverse array of forms and ways of participation in community life and interactions with the environment, and grounded in a realistic understanding of political psychology.
