THE GENEALOGY OF “NATIONAL HERO”: THE SPECIFICATION OF THE FRAMEWORK OF RESEARCH OF THE HEROIC CHARACTER IN CATEGORIES OF “RANK” AND “MEDAL” AS A CODE OF TIMES

Summary/Abstract: In Yugoslav society, discourses on national heroes had a function of representing the most distinguished and courageous characters of Yugoslav peoples’ fighters against fascism. For the postwar generations these characters have represented the ultimate freedom fighters, and have become an important part of the Partisan cult. In order for the national hero to become a sign, and to be placed into a certain type, he initially had to be specified by a certain, internally defined norm. The standardization of national heroes happens in time and by setting of terms upon which a certain heroic subject can be selected. The terms for the selection of national heroes were defined by the current circumstances, but also by the Communist Party who sought to provide for each moment an adequate frame with reference to the requirements of the times and society concerning future national heroes.
