Mother and her children - construction of nation and gender on the example of Jugoslovenče - magazine for children in the Kingdom of Jugoslavia

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is the analysis of the construction of the Yugoslav tradition and its folklore in the period of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, on the example of the journal Jugoslovenče published in the period between 1931 and 1941. Title of the journal (in English translation ”Young Yugoslav”) reveals that it was aimed at young people, pupils of elementary schools. Indirectly, it also may imply youngness of the Yugoslav nation, its tradition and the fact that the state was established only twelve years before the first number of the journal. This paper is the case study of the constructing of Yugoslav nation and tradition on the example of the texts from the mentioned journal with the open educational purpose. What were the mechanisms of creating tradition of the nation that was defined and conceptualized as a unitary three-named nation with planned equality (the first name of the country was the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians)? What happened to the other nations and their traditions that were not mentioned in the name of the state? Were they, and how were they integrated into the Yugoslav tradition? What are the gender aspects of the construction of nation?
