UTEMELJENJE MODERNE BOŠNJAČKE KNJIŽEVNE HISTORIOGRAFIJE
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MODERN BOSNIAK LITERARY HISTORIOGRAPHY

(FROM MEHMED-BEY KAPETANOVIĆ LJUBUŠAK TO DR. SAFYET-BEY BAŠAGIĆ)

Summary/Abstract: The late 19th and early 20th centuries was a founding period for the modern Bosnian-Herzegovinian, and thus modern Bosniak, culture. During this time, in the particular cultural circumstances after the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Ottoman Bosnia, modern Bosniak literature was founded. This was also a founding period for modern Bosniak literary historiographic consciousness and modern Bosniak literary historiography, or the modern history of Bosniak literature as a discipline in literary studies. In this, as in the case of modern Bosniak literature, the emergence and development of modern Bosniak literary historiographic consciousness and literary historiography are a direct effect of modern European tendencies in the Bosniak cultural context, but they are also a phenomenon closely related to the constitution of modern literary practice among Bosniaks. The establishment of modern Bosniak literature as a literary art, and of modern Bosniak literary historiographic consciousness and literary historiography in the context of literary studies, are phenomena that have particular relations to each other, where modern Bosniak literature and modern Bosniak literary historiography show a number of aspects of developmental reciprocity and mutual dependence. This can be confirmed by the fact that modern Bosniak literature and modern Bosniak literary historiographic consciousness have the same founding fathers: the two cardinal figures in Bosniak cultural life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Dr. Safvet-bey Bašagić (1870-1934) and Mehmed-bey Kapetanović Ljubušak (1839-1902).
