Sporočilnost poštnih znamk v obdobju družbenopolitične tranzicije na območju nekdanje Jugoslavije – 1. del

Abstract

Podobe, besedila in valuta na poštnih znamkah predstavljajo ter promovirajo državo. Politična oziroma ideološka usmeritev države in kulturno izrazje naroda so tako v vizualni kot verbalni obliki odtis nekega časa. V prispevku smo preverjali izrazja (podobo in besedilo) na 841. poštnih znamkah, ki so bile izdane v dveh obdobjih, 1987–1991 v Jugoslaviji ter 1991–1995 v Sloveniji in na Hrvaškem. Priložnostne poštne znamke (535 znamk) smo razvrstili v pet tematskih skupin. Le-te v 315. primerih (59%) obravnavajo politično oziroma nacionalno pomembne vsebine. Pred razpadom Jugoslavije so poštne znamke poveličevale odpor proti okupatorju, socializem in uspešno mednarodno delovanje države. Prvi motivi na poštnih znamkah Slovenije in Hrvaške pa prikazujejo pomembne zgodovinske osebnosti in dogodke, predvsem iz obdobja narodnega prebujanja v 19. stoletju. // Expressions of postage stamps in times of political and social transition on the territory of former Yugoslavia – part 1 Images, text and currency on postage stamps represent and promote the country. The political or ideological orientation and the cultural dominance of the nation are on stamps visual and verbal imprints of a certain time. In this paper, we’ve analysed expressions (image and text) on 851 postage stamps that were issued in two periods, 1987–1991 in Yugoslavia and 1991–1995 in Slovenia and Croatia. In a step further we’ve studied just »occasional postage stamps« (535 stamps) that have been classified into five thematic groups. We found out that in 315 cases the »occasional postage stamps« deal with political or national contents. Before the breakup of Yugoslavia, postage stamps glorified the resistance against the WW2 occupiers, socialism and the country’s successful international activities. The first images on postage stamps of Slovenia and Croatia depict important historical figures and events, mainly from the period of the national awakening in the 19th century.
