Transnational history of Yugoslavian interwar identity: between nationalism and internationalism

两次世界大战之间的南斯拉夫身份只能用复杂来形容。到1918年12月，大多数参与其中的人（只要他们有政治意识）似乎都支持建立某种形式的南斯拉夫——尽管他们对这个国家的理解差异很大。“1 .南斯拉夫的战争间特性失败的问题并不是一个新问题。然而，它只是通过竞争民族主义的棱镜来研究的，许多历史学家试图解释两次世界大战之间南斯拉夫最重要的问题——民族问题。两次世界大战之间南斯拉夫的失败被归因于在相互竞争的民族文化中形成的强烈的民族特殊性。从主流的自上而下的方法出发，我想分析文化政治是如何转化为社会的。回答国际思想如何在日常生活中被解释，被南斯拉夫不同民族地区的人们理解，然后通过文化实施，以及这些国际思想对锻造南斯拉夫社会的影响。“关于南斯拉夫的故事不是关于欧洲后院的故事，而是关于欧洲本身的故事。”研究国际思想对发展现代南斯拉夫文化和认同的重要性是很重要的。它可以揭示一个经济不发达国家对国际主义的解释和实践的差异，增强我们对地区背景下国际思想的普遍心态的理解，有助于国际历史领域的研究。

The Yugoslavian identity in the interwar years can only be described as complex. 'ByDecember 1918, most of the populations involved (inasmuch as they had any politicalconsciousness) appeared to support the creation of some sort of Yugoslavia - though how theyunderstood that state varied widely.'1 The question of the failure of the Yugoslav interwaridentity is not a new one. However, it has only been studied through the prism of competingnationalisms with many historians trying to explain the most important problem in interwarYugoslavia - the national problem.The failure of interwar Yugoslavia has been attributed to strong national particularismembedded in competing national cultures. Departing from the predominant top down approachI would like to analyse how cultural politics translated into society. Answering the questionsof how international ideas were interpreted in daily life, understood by people across differentethnic regions of Yugoslavia, then enacted through culture, and what impact theseinternational ideas had on forging the Yugoslav society.'The story about Yugoslavia is not a story about Europe's backyard, but about Europe itself'.2Researching the salience of international ideas for the development of a modern Yugoslavculture and identity is important. It can uncover differences in the interpretation and practiceof internationalism in an economically underdeveloped country, enhance our understandingof popular mentality towards international ideas in a regional context contributing to the fieldof international history.
