Buniewcy i ich kultura w przestrzeni miejskiej Suboticy – analiza semiotyczna

Abstract

Bunjevci are an ethnic group whose status as a national minority has changed depending on the policy pursued in the regions they live in, which significantly influenced the possibility of marking their presence in space. The aim of the article is to find and present signs proving the presence of Bunjevci in Subotica. The focus was on urban names, institutions, monuments, and other signs enabling permanent or periodic appropriation of space. The semiotic analysis of the space of Subotica, the informal capital of Bunjevci, was preceded by a detailed description of this group. The knowledge of Bunjevci history, traditions, language, institutions, and other elements of heritage made it possible to identify signs that can be manifested in the urban space.
