Summary/Abstract: An attempt has been made to demonstrate that the relevant issues related to Vuk Karadžić include not only the discovery of people and of popular culture but also the establishment of ethnic boundaries, values and patterns of Serbian culture. Demarcation and encroachment, at times by Vuk himself but no less commonly by his opponents, have always accompanied popular culture and research on it as well as the current political action. For the purposes of that action Vuk’s patterns, 19th century patterns of folk culture even today are being reactivated once again in Serbian nationalist movement.
