Abstract

By using certain theoretical settings of ethno-symbolic and interactionist approach to the phenomena of nation and nationalism, this paper?s aim is to explain and reconstruct various pre-modern forms of ethno-religious dichotomization widely present in Serbian folk epic poetry. In that purpose, the paper displays ideas about ?other? communities that were nurtured in the Serbian epic poetry, where these ideas were interpreted as a reflection and consequence of concrete socio-historical circumstances. Special attention was given to examining the interconfessional and inter-class relations, which could have vastly influenced the self-determination process for the members of Serbian ethnic community. In other words, the factors of religious affiliation, social ranking and ethnicity are recognized as key determinants in establishing ethnoreligious dichotomization in the epic literature. The findings of the study showed that the most pronounced and most represented ethno-religious boundary in the epic poetry was set in relations to the Ottomans and Islam. On the other hand, the scarcity, incoherency or the lack of distinction of the dichotomization in relations to non-Ottoman communities, Greeks, Bulgarians, Hungarians, ?Latins?, Albanians and Arabs show that this boundary was not particularly defined, unlike the one with the Ottomans, who were different not only in terms of ethnicity, but also in terms of religion and class.

塞尔维亚史诗中的民族宗教二分法
本文通过运用民族象征主义和互动主义的理论背景来研究民族和民族主义现象。本文的目的是解释和重建塞尔维亚民间史诗中广泛存在的各种前现代形式的民族-宗教二分法。为了达到这个目的,论文展示了关于其他的观点。在塞尔维亚史诗中孕育的社区,这些思想被解释为具体社会历史环境的反映和结果。特别注意审查教派间和阶级间的关系,这些关系可能极大地影响塞尔维亚族裔社区成员的自决进程。换言之,在史诗文学中,宗教信仰、社会等级和民族因素被认为是形成民族-宗教二分法的关键因素。研究结果表明,史诗中最明显和最具代表性的民族-宗教界限是与奥斯曼人和伊斯兰教的关系。另一方面,与非奥斯曼社区,希腊人,保加利亚人,匈牙利人,拉丁人,的关系的二分法的稀缺性,不一致性或缺乏区别?阿尔巴尼亚人和阿拉伯人表明,这一边界并没有特别明确,不像奥斯曼人的边界,奥斯曼人不仅在种族上不同,而且在宗教和阶级上也不同。
