Koncepti nacionalizma i patriotizma u srpskom političkom diskursu: Srednji vek, novi vek, savremeno doba [Concepts of Nationalism and Patriotism in Serbian Political Discourse: Medieval, Modern, Contemporary], vol. 2, ed. S. Marjanović-Dušanić – A. Z. Savić, Beograd 2025.
The project entitled Concepts of Nationalism and Patriotism in Serbian Political Discourse – Medieval, Modern, Contemporary (CoNatPat) concludes with a collection of papers delivered on 30–31 May 2024 at the University of Belgrade, Faculty of Philosophy. The contributions reflect the current state of diachronic research on the national programmes formulated by the Serbian political elites and the evolving idea of the Serbian national identity. Collective identities, based on shared goals, values and practices, and the community’s relationship with its own past, are constructed through symbolic forms – signs, texts, rituals, ceremonies, monuments. These processes are shaped by both external and internal factors, and have to be investigated in the context of various historical periods, from the Nemanjić state to the present day: they invite the attention of experts from a broad spectrum of the social sciences and humanities. The present volume consists of contributions which participate in this broader interdisciplinary discussion by focusing on topics related to the history of the 20th century.
