Ksenofobija u ničijoj zemlji
XENOPHOBIA IN NON-MAN’S-LAND

Summary/Abstract: As a concept, contemporary literature classifies modernization under relatively fruitful and society oriented notions. History, however, includes negative aspects of such complexed process which had seldom led into development of, so called, new “disappointment culture.” Political elite of Western and Northern Europe created destiny as such to the Balkans in 19th century, which, according to the western strategies, had determined tentative space, and that was Bosnia and Herzegovina. Primary tendency to have ethnical complexity, a religious tolerance and multi – culture as constituents of the Islamic civilization intellectually annulled had developed into military – oriented intervention under the flag of so called double Monarchy. Ideological results such as recentralization, de-balkanization and Europeization had been derived from the modernization mimicry process, and as such started to cover gaps of Southern Europe peninsula – “secular isle”, as the arrogant West has largely populated it. In relation to that the text emphasizes the cultural contact of Islamic – Oriental and Central European civilizations that existed on the territory of Bosnia and Hercegovina out of which will follow one new quality of Bosnian and Hercegovinian lifestyle through the successive mixture and transposition of opposite and by its nature different cultural elements. A process that should have been an introduction to Western European de – balkanization, had become sort of residential shield to accidental “geography of myths and patriotic lethargy.”
