Фигурата на cв. Климент Охридски в българската и в македонската книж­нина от епохата на Възраждането
The Figure of St. Clement of Ohrid in the Bulgarian and Macedonian literatures at the Time of the National Revival

Summary/Abstract: The paper raises the question of the functionalization of the figure of St. Clement of Ohrid in modern culture comparing his representation in the Bulgarian and Macedonian traditions. The focus is on various texts of the Bulgarian and Macedonian National Revivals (perceived as historiographical constructs). The points of reference are two “grand narratives” inscribed into the Bulgarian and Macedonian scientific discourses. The aim is to show the context for the modern creating of the “beginning of the nation”. The paper presents both the 19th century image of the most famous Cyrillo-Methodian disciple and a hermeneutic deconstruction of its usage.
