Abstract
Using a typology of urban symbolism, the identity of Belgrade is reconstructed on the basis of accounts by a sample of city residents, foreigners and locals, who work in international companies and organizations. The component of behavioral symbolism is found to prevail, referring to the places' atmosphere, mood, spirit, or energy. Next comes material symbolism, particularly in relation to Belgrades' location at the confluence of two rivers, and the Kalemegdan complex overlooking it. All other types of symbolism are much less prominent. Belgrade is described as having a comparatively low global visibility and lacking a readily recognizable landmark. What emerges as a pervasive motif in the different symbolic codes is the attribute of contradiction, and the related qualities of hybridity, liminality, and incompleteness.
U radu se, uz pomoć tipologije urbanih simbola, identitet Beograda rekonstruiše na osnovu iskaza uzorka njegovih stanovnika (stranaca i građana Srbije) koji rade u međunarodnim kompanijama i organizacijama. U karakterizacijama dominira bihevioralni simbolizam, koji se odnosi na atmosferu, raspoloženje, duh ili energiju grada. Na drugom mestu je materijalni simbolizam, naročito u vidu geografskog položaja Beograda na ušću dveju reka, uz kompleks Beogradske tvrđave koji se nad njima uzdiže. Svi drugi tipovi simbola su znatno slabije prisutni. Ispitanici smatraju da je Beograd relativno slabo vidljiv u globalnim razmerama i da mu nedostaje opštepoznato obeležje koje bi nepogrešivo simbolizovalo. Uočljivo je da se kroz različite simboličke izražajne jezike provlači motiv protivrečnosti, kao i s njime povezani atributi hibridnosti, liminalnosti i nedovršenosti.
