Досељавање Словена на Балкан и њихови односи са Византијом: паралелна анализа грчких и српских школских уџбеника
The Immigration of the Slavs in the Balkans and their Relations with Byzantium: Parallel Analysis of Greek and Serbian School Textbooks
Апстракт
У раду су анализирани школски уџбеници из историје у Грчкој и Србији, за оне разреде када се ученици баве средњовековном историјом. Циљ рада је да прикаже како су у њима приказани неки од кључних догађаја из раносредњовековне националне историје тих народа. Разлог што је тај период толико важан је је што модерне нације у раном Средњем веку траже своје корене и што је он истовремено време великих промена у Европи. Теме које су анализиране у раду су перцепција Византије и Словена, долазак Словена на Балкан и њихова интеракција са Византијом до XI века.
History textbooks are always of great importance for every nation state. Both Serbia
and Greece, nowadays as well as in the past, have shown great effort in making history textbooks policies fit for their needs. Greece is a state that emphasises greatly on its instruction
of humanities and has a strict and uniformed school program, while Serbia has more than
one state approved textbook unlike Greece. That being said, the early Middle Ages are a
period of European history that is essential for the foundation of contemporary nations, and
the immigration of Slavs to the Byzantine Balkans and their principal affairs bring up many
questions that have been concerning the two since the XIX century. How Slav the Greeks
became and how much do the Balkan Slavs owe to the Byzantine Civilisation? In an attempt
to answer that question through the perspective of present-day history textbooks in Greece
and Serbia (used in elementary, middle and high school), the article deals with the narrat...ives
of the textbooks in regard to how they depict Byzantium and Slavs, their first encounters, the
settlement of Slavs in the Balkans and their integration with the Byzantines, as well as the first
few centuries of common history during which the Slavs were baptised and founded their own
states, up until the XI century when Byzantium took possession almost of the whole peninsula.
The research showed that even though the content of the textbooks is similar, some themes are
treated differently. Firstly, both acknowledge the Greek aspect of Byzantium and view it as
predominantly Greek, although the Greek textbooks take monopoly on the Greek element of
Byzantium, neglecting other ethnicities or communities that had lived there as well, which is
mentioned greatly in the Serbian ones. Serbian textbooks depict Slavs in a finer manner than
the Greek ones do, even though they often both use the same Byzantine sources. Their focus
is different, whereas Serbian textbooks focus on the beginning of Serbian history, the Greek
textbooks cover the complex process of assimilation of Slavs in continental Greece. Even
though both sides claim great importance to the mission of Cyril and Methodius, the Greek
books insist on its Byzantine role and portray the result being strong ties between Greeks
and Slavs, where the Serbian ones see it as a more inner Slavic matter. In Serbian textbooks
Serbian and Byzantine history is very important, but there is no place for Bulgarian history of
the same period in such an extent, which is what we see in Greek textbooks at the expense of
Serbian history being almost absent. The nature of the Bulgarian empires and the affairs of the
Orthodox Church are of a great significance for the Greek textbooks, and for that reason they
are omitting some problematic parts of the past in their common history, unlike Serbian ones
that have no problem in mentioning dark anecdotes and times of unrest between two peoples.
In the end, while we may see some biased language and even negative attitudes towards the
other side, the relations between the Slavs and the Byzantines are permanently described as
vivid and the Orthodox Slavs are seen as a part of the Byzantine world.
