초록

This article explores the role of two major South Slavic ideological narratives whose histories and structural interpellations in various interpretations of the past have significantly influenced political and cultural discourse in Slavonic countries on the Balkan Peninsula. In the article it is claimed that these ideologies of the past have not only had a great influence on policy planning and strategic thinking about future developments of the Western Balkans, but also on a whole region where Serbian and Croatian ideologically charged national myths and the tactics of their narratives are used in the hegemonic discourse and its power games. They also dominate the policies of producing memory loss in the space of Former Yugoslavia. By studying the ways in which these mythological narratives have survived through time and influence today’s politics, it also is possible to predict the ways of future interpellations of local narratives in cultures positioned between East and West, South and North, Christianity and the Muslim world. By studying these local systems, the paper claims that it is possible to better understand processes of re-traditionalizing the realm of nation narrations and naturalizing the past in the sphere of politics and conflict, including vocabulary stereotyping in the wider European and Middle East context. The patterns of narrative procedures, it is claimed here, represent a key area in possible interpretation of national mythologemes and ideologemes and their role in what Foucault calls “power plays” within the national discourse of hegemonic order. This enables the narratological methodological approach to tackle the complex area of nationalistic ideologies an position it to share and discuss similar concerns and issues as does sociology, psychology, historiography and philosophy. Furthemore, it is claimed here that the study of national narratives can lead the way in interdisciplinary study of “places in between” and their complex positioning between “great narratives” and their hegemonic aggressiveness. In that respect this approach also provide the tools of the study of collective memory loss and construction of appropriated and naturalised memory patterns.
