Culture, Resistance and Violence: Guarding the Habsburg Ostgrenze with Montenegro in 1914 Cathie Carmichael, School of History, University of East Anglia, Norwich, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland1. CONTACT Cathie Carmichael [email protected] ABSTRACT Between 1878 and 1918 the Eastern border (Ostgrenze) of the Habsburg Monarchy and in particular the mountainous regions between Hercegovina and Montenegro posed security challenges. The people of the region had strong local traditions and a reputation for armed resistance to outside authority (having fought against Ottoman power for centuries). In 1878, the village of Klobuk had tried to fight off the Habsburg invader and had only slowly been subdued. In the following years, the new authorities built up a formidable line of defence along their new border with Montenegro including the garrisons at Trebinje, Bileća and Avtovac. After the annexation of Bosnia and Hercegovina in 1908, the security situation became tense, a situation exacerbated by fear of South Slav expansion after the Balkan Wars of 1912-13 (which went hand in hand with a wave of propaganda that depicted the Serbs and Montenegrins as violent by nature). As a result, Orthodox Serbs living along the Montenegrin border were increasingly viewed with suspicion. During the crisis of the summer of 1914, many men from the villages closest to the border were either hanged or deported. The implementation and interpretation of Habsburg military regulations (Dienstreglement) meant that the Orthodox population in the border areas suffered disproportionately in 1914. KEYWORDS Habsburg Monarchy, 1914, Violence, First World War, Montenegro, Hercegovina, Orthodox Serbs Introduction In 1878 after the Congress of Berlin had created new opportunities, the armies of Austria- Hungary marched into the Ottoman Provinces of Bosnia and Hercegovina. -

It studies geography as a scientific enterprise, its institutional growth, which in the Yugoslav context began in the 1880s and intensified during the first half of the twentieth century, and the communication between scientific centers in Yugoslavia and abroad. Professionalization and institutionalization were crucial for obtaining a scientific apparatus and social authority that enabled geographers to act as politically engaged “nationally conscious” intellectuals who, nevertheless, insisted on -

MARIJA VASILJEVIĆ MARIJA RISTIĆ, KASTRATOVIĆ VESELINKA CUKIĆ, RADOVAN BELGRADE 2018 I THE DAY WORTH A CENTURY – 1 XII 1918 Title of Original in Serbian ДАН ВРЕДАН ВЕКА – 1. XII 1918. 4 5 ON THE REASONS FOR AN EXHIBITION ABOUT THE CREATION OF YUGOSLAVIA The main reason for the exhibition The Day Worth a Century is the centenary of the Yugoslav unification, i.e. the formal act of proclamation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, which falls on 1 December 2018. As one of the few institutions that still bear the name of the former state in their own name, the Museum of Yugoslavia has a duty to adequately mark the cente- nary of the formation of that state. In addition to the exhibition, the centenary is to be marked with a conference entitled The Musealization of Yugoslavia – Free- zing or Renegotiating Shared Heritage, which is to take place on 2-3 Decem- ber 2018. At this moment in time, twenty years after its founding, the Mu- seum of Yugoslavia is undergoing a process of rethinking its place and role; conception and systematization of collections; redefining its vision and attract- ing new audiences. The museum was created with the intention of safeguarding the collections of two institutions: the Memorial Center ‘Josip Broz Tito’ and the Museum of the Revolution of Nations and Nationalities of Yugoslavia, both of which were seen as relics of an obsolete ideology in the early 1990s. For several years, the Museum barely survived in conditions that were hardly adequate to secure its operation. Although various programmatic texts state that the Muse- um’s task is to study Yugoslavia from its formation to its dissolution, it has always been clear that the limitations of its collections and the strong memorial aspect of the building that houses it make it primarily a museum of socialist Yugoslavia. -

Bosňácké Národní Hnutí 1878-1918

V Praze dne 22. 2. 2021 …………………………………………… Mihad Mujanović 3 4 Abstrakt Předkládaná práce se zabývá proměnami muslimské pospolitosti (dnešních Bosňáků) v Bosně a Hercegovině za rakousko-uherské okupace mezi lety 1878 a 1918. V kontextu utváření moderních středoevropských a balkánských národů je blíže rozebrán politický, společenský a demografický vývoj komunity, včetně rozvoje spolkového života a náboženských, kulturních a vzdělávacích institucí. Retrospektivním pohledem stojí habsburská správa nejsevernější osmanské provincie na začátku dlouhého, ve své podstatě nejistého a nejednoznačného, ale nakonec přece jen úspěšného procesu národního sebeuvědomování slovanské muslimské komunity v Bosně a Hercegovině a Sandžaku. Výklad je rozdělen do více analytických částí, které v hrubých rysech kopírují ustálený model studia národních hnutí v Evropě. Za stmelující teoretické východisko je bráno modernistické paradigma, které národní ideu spojuje se změnou společenských, hospodářských -
Development of Serbian Cartography from the End of XVIII to the Beginning of the XX Century
Development of Serbian Cartography From the End of XVIII to the Beginning of the XX Century Original scientific article UDC 528.9(497.11)„17/19" Received: 25. August 2019; doi: 10.5937/zrgfub1902021G Received in revised form: 30. August 2019; Accepted: 15. September 2019; Available online: 25. September 2019 DEVELOPMENT OF SERBIAN CARTOGRAPHY FROM THE END OF XVIII TO THE BEGINNING OF THE XX CENTURY Mirko Grčić*1 * University of Belgrade - Faculty of Geography, Belgrade Abstract: This paper represents summary of development of geographical and cartographical knowledge of Serbian authors about Serbia and Balkan. Important maps in the Serbian language are presented with a brief overview of their content, context and methodology. The main directions, stages of development and the most important cartographers and cartographic works in the Serbian language from the end of the XVII century to the creation of the Yugoslav state in the first quarter of the XX century are discussed. During this period, great historical and geopolitical changes took place in the Balkan Peninsula, such as revolutions, uprisings and wars, awakening the national consciousness of the Balkan peoples and the creation of nation-states. The development of Serbian cartography and geography in this period ranged from national romanticism, through descriptive and inventorying of geographical material, to explicit and applied scientific geography and cartography, which began with the establishment of two institutions at the end of the 19th century - the Geographical Section of the Serbian Army General Staff (today the Military Geographical Institute) and the Geographic institutes at the Big School (today's Faculty of Geography, University of Belgrade). -
Dimitrije Mitrinovic
DIMITRIJE MITRINOVIC: CHAMELEON, GOOD EUROPEAN, AND EXILED YUGOSLAVIST by DAVID GRAHAM PAGE B.A., The University of British Columbia, 2001 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (European Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA August 2005 © David Graham Page, 2005 Abstract This present work is an assessment of the life and thought of Dimitrije Mitrinovic (1887-1953) during his formative years, from his childhood through to 1920, when he resigned from the service of the newly created Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes. His Yugoslavism has yet to be adequately contextualized, at least in the literature accessible to English language readers; Chapter 1 of the present work begins to fill this gap. Mitrinovic's struggle against the Hapsburg domination of the South Slavs is the subject of Chapter 2, in which the influence on Mitrinovic of T. G. Masaryk's thought is detailed. The focus in Chapter 3 is on Mitrinovic's attempt to organize a movement for European unity whilst the continent staggered on the brink of the First World War. The theoretical literature on balkanism is taken as the point of departure in Chapter 4, in which Mitrinovic's ambivalent attitude to balkanist discourse is subjected to scrutiny. ii Table of Contents Abstract ii Table of Contents m Dedication and Acknowledgements iv INTRODUCTION Dimitrije who? 1 CHAPTER 1 Colonialism on the Cheap 5 CHAPTER 2 The Chameleon 15 CHAPTER 3 The Good European 36 CHAPTER 4 The Exiled Yugoslavist 43 CONCLUSION Three-parts Forgotten 50 Notes • 51 Bibliography 63 iii Dedication To Kristin, for the Danube and beyond Acknowledgements I gratefully acknowledge Prof.
