Summary/Abstract: This article treats the phenomenon of "stubbornness" in the novel Tvrdoglavi (“The Stubborn Ones”) by Slavko Janevski, through contextual analysis of two entities: the so-called "Stubbornness" and so-called "Macedonisms." The aim is to confirm once again the known position in our literature criticism that "stubbornness" is another name for the Macedonian national self-awareness and to show that, despite the perception of Europe and Western Balkans and for our "otherness", we are equally worthy "citizens of the world." The text tends, albeit implicitly, to emphasize the Macedonian and Balkan potential to undergo under the category of "fluidity of identity."
