Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses the development and social significance of social heroes with particular view of those conditions in a social system which enables and facilitates mutual approximation, and symbolic and functional alternation of diverse categories: hero and antihero. The situation in Serbia during the last two decades was a particular object of attention in an attempt to strengthen the assumption that extreme turbulent processes inside a society, followed by willing and substantial antisocial activity of certain favorably positioned groups, as well as by specific elaboration of social reality by those unfavorably positioned, ‘’ordinary’’ people, enable conversion of classic antiheroes into social heroes.
