Saznanje ili namera - savremena svetska istoriografija o Srbima u XIX veku

Abstract

Pad Berlinskog zida i uništenje Jugoslavije doneli su potpunu promenu političkog i društvenog konteksta u Evropi i svetu. Sa njima se promenila i istorija, kao akademska disciplina. U okvirima tog, šireg konteksta, odigrala se dalekosežna revizija istorije Srba u 19. veku. Važno je odrediti glavne teme aktuelne debate o Srbima u 19. veku, koja se vodi u svetskoj istoriografiji, kao i istražiti glavne uzroke ove akademske revizije.

The fall of the Berlin Wall and the destruction of Yugoslavia brought about a complete change of the political and social context in Europe and in the world. Consequently, history, as a scholarly discipline, was also significantly transformed. In this wider context, the interpretations of the Serbian 19th century experienced far-reaching revision. Thus, it is necessary to scrutinize the main topics of the debate on 19th century Serbian history in the contemporary world historiography, as well as to examine the main causes of this academic revision.
