Etiologija bošnjačkih pseudonarativa kroz refleksije evolucije političkog identiteta
Etiology of Bosniak Pseudonarratives through Reflections on the Evolution of Political Identity

Summary/Abstract: Bosniaks, as a small European nation, are characterised by turbulent history and multi-layered identity, which are based on the medieval statehood of the Bosnian state, subsequently the Islamic cultural and traditional substratum and, in modern times, on secular and European values through its own evolution of political identity. Therefore, they developed pseudo-narrative communication skills as a specific dialectic of survival, together with a response to various challenges that have emerged in a diachronic sequence over nearly ten centuries of Bosniak history. The paper investigates the causes that led to this specific phenomenon: simultaneous interactions of pseudo-religious and pseudosecular attitudes and patterns of behavior as well as pragmatic manipulation of their contents in political discourse, thus becoming an important element in the evolution of Bosniak political identity.
