MEDIATORY BORDERLINES IN THE WEDDING SONGS OF THE SOUTHERN SLAVS

Summary/Abstract: This text is the part of the thesis „The Bordelines in The National Poetry of the Southern Slavs (on the material of the wedding songs), weitten under the guidance of Ljiljana Pešikan Ljuštanovic Ph. D., professor of the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad. The basic thesis of this work is the attitude that the borderline which is being activated in two directions, in both horizontal sphere and vertical axis, and is at the same time splitting and connecting this and that world — represents the basic element in structuring the patriarchal wedding. Within the bordelines, the basic point bordelines and the wedding trip parameter are outlined first. Those are, above all, the bordelines inside the structure of the house taken as a symbol of oneself’s/someone else’s space: female house (together with the main border crossings, such as gate/door, as well as the symbolic equivalents of the female house such as garden, tower, town and case) and male house where the strongest borderline appears to be a threshold, and its symbolic equivalent is realised through the images of table and church.
