Ko je ko u Kraljevini SHS: Formalna analiza Cvijićeve rasprave o jedinstvu južnih Slovena
Who Is Who in the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes: A Formal Analysis of Jovan Cviji"’s Treatise on South Slav Unity

Summary/Abstract: The paper explores the causes and effects of the ideological background of Jovan Cvijić’s anthropogeographical and ethnopsychological research in the former Yugoslav region of the Balkan Peninsula. The paper shows that - Cviji ’s intellectual endeavors to forge a new Yugoslav identity, which he believed to be indispensable for the successful implementation of the South Slav state unification project, were based on ethnocentric premises that resulted in implicit " scientific" evidence about kinship among the South Slavs recognized through Serbian ethnic attributes. For Cvijić, therefore, the Yugoslav idea did not in essence have a supraethnic character; on the contrary, it was - the Serbian identity that provided the basis of the Yugoslav "nation".
