Výzkumné semináře MÚA AV ČR – podzim 2024
As the era of nationalism began, Slavs in the Habsburg Empire espoused Literary Panslavism: they imagined as a linguistic community in which all Slavs spoke one and the same “Slavic language.” Efforts to promote this language, and the distinct literary traditions it encompassed, rested on the unstated assumption that different literary traditions, written in distinct orthographies, were "dialectical." This paper examines literary Panslavism as a form of nationalist politics, suggesting that literary Panslavism affected subsequent Czechoslovak and Yugoslav nationalism, both of which similarly posited a single "language" with multiple literary traditions.
