Medieval Art аnd Architecture аs аn Ideological Weapon: the Case of Yugoslavia

Summary/Abstract: This text presents on analyticаl recapitulation of the ways in which the history of medieval art in Yugoslavia agreed to the grounding of its identity on a basically incomplete ideology of a Yugoslav identity. By examing characteristic methodological and field examples, the text discusses Yugoslav studies of medieval art on a conceptual level, as well as it›s structure of exposition and manner of promotion. The conclusion is that there was a strong ideological influx which created strikingly separate attitudes towards medieval heritage, proclaiming it, simultaneously, as national according to the contemporary meaning of the term.
