NARATIVNA SIMBOLIKA „MLADONACIONALNOG“ FENOMENA
THE NARRATIVE SYMBOLIC OF 'YOUNG-NATIONAL' PHENOMENON

Summary/Abstract: Young-National movements represent characteristic phenomenon that in its symbolic belief tends to construct and/or liberate their nations from its usurpers. In international politics, they emerge in a specific period of the collapse of von Metternich’s and resurrection of Wilsonian ideals. They appeared as a movement during 1830s, represented by the Young Italy, yet in the future, the concept of 'Young National' greatly exceeds original Mazzinian ideas and comprehension of nations and its analog perception of the state, politics and history. Symbolism of 'youth' has so far remained a fetish of nationalism insisting not only on the idea of national liberation, but also on the permanent youth voluntarism as a guarantee of national ideological re-production. Through derivation of its name from the vitality’s semiotics, it remains a deeply embroidered category within the socio-political organizations that have a tendency to perpetuate youth as a category of existence for certain community in every form.
