First Nationalism Then Identity focuses on the case of Bosnian Muslims, a rare historic instance of a new nation emerging. Although for Bosnian Muslims the process of national emergence and the ...assertion of a new salient identity have been going on for over two decades, Mirsad Kriještorac is the first to explain the significance of the whole process and how the adoption of their new Bosniak identity occurred. He provides a historical overview of Yugoslav and Bosnian Slavic Muslims’ transformation into a full-fledged distinct and independent national group as well as addresses the important question in the field of nationalism studies about the relationship between and workings of nationalism and identity. While this book is noteworthy for ordinary readers interested in the case of Bosnian Muslims, it is an important contribution to the scholarly debate on the role of nationalism in the political life of a group and adds an interdisciplinary perspective to comparative politics scholarship by drawing from anthropology, history, geography, and sociology.

This article investigates how some prominent and less known Albanian activists perceived their Southern Slav neighbors at the turn of the twentieth century. The research explores the way in which the ...spread of nationalism conditioned the positioning of Albanians and Slavs in the process of identity construction and how such identities mirrored their reciprocal political claims. Recent scholarship has often emphasized that the affirmation of national ideas led to the fragmentation of Balkan communities by turning Albanian-speaking populations and their Slavic-speaking neighbors into “others.” My analysis expands this assertion by elaborating a theoretical approach that allows us to explore the impact of nationalism on the post-1878 Balkan context from a more dynamic point of view. National discourses did not only lay the foundation for a differentiation between the Balkan communities, but were also tools for promoting joint political activism. National activists often felt it necessary to cooperate in order to deal with the challenges posed by the surrounding environment, which was common to both Albanians and Slavs. Various contingent circumstances led Albanian activists to project long-term forms of coexistence with their neighbors, and to imagine forms of political, cultural, and social synthesis with the Slavs.
The paper represents the first full-scale research on the names of demons encountered in the apocryphal prayers of St Sisinnius and Archangel Michael known from the South Slavic manuscript tradition. ...The chronological framework of the studied manuscripts and, thus, of the names spans from the 11th to the 19th centuries. Mythological names are present in the apocryphal prayers in form of numbered lists (each containing most often 12 names). The article considers 23 such lists (with more than 220 singular names in total) and involves a wide range of linguistic, mythological and folklore data. The author analyses the composition of the mythological “vocabulary” and the character of its units (proper nouns, characterizing attributes, descriptive verbal constructions, etc.). The study focuses on the correlation between mythological names and the functions of corresponding characters; the semantic classification of words constituting the “vocabulary” under consideration; the structure of the “vocabulary” in various versions of the apocryphal prayer; the proportion of names and characters; grammatical “inertia” as the basis of word-formation patterns, and some other issues. In conclusion, the author discusses the historical evolution of the “vocabulary” (obviously influenced by the folk tradition and by the vernacular speech) considering it in the context of the historical evolution of the Slavic verbal magic’s mythological vocabulary.
Članak predstavlja detaljnu tekstualnu analizu novootkrivenog skraćenog južnoslavenskog prijevoda djela Simeona Solunskog »Ἑρμηνεία περὶ τοῦ θείου ναοῦ.« Analiza se temelji na usporedbi slavenskog i ...grčkog teksta, s jedne strane, te dvaju poznatih prijepisa članka u RGADA 88 i Bogišića 52, s druge strane. Cilj je pronaći tekstualne i druge moguće razlike među njima (izostavljanja, dodavanja, pomaci, ponavljanja itd.), istaknuti njihove zajedničke karakteristike i pojedinačne značajke, utvrditi koje su opcije motivirane u grčkom tekstu ili označiti promjenu prema svom značenju.
