| Description | Bosnia figured in all Croatian national-political conceptions of the 19th century as an important part of Croatian or a wider South Slavonic historical, political and national territory. This paper examines the position of this land in the original ideology of Yugoslavism formulated by Franjo Rački and Josip Juraj Strossmayer at the beginning of the 1860s. The paper consists of a general description of Yugoslavism, which has yet to be done in such scope and form in the Czech language, and a detailed analysis of the status and role of Bosnia and Bosnians within this Croatian national integration ideology and in the political thinking of its creators. The main sources used include political treatises, brochures, newspaper articles, speeches and correspondence. The paper consists of two structurally different, but mutually intertwined parts. The first part presents a compendious overview of the basic principles, dogmas, grounds and specifics of the analyzed ideological system created by Franjo Rački and Josip Juraj Strossmayer. Several aspects of the original Yugoslavism which are crucial for understanding the position of Bosnia within its frames are already described. The second part of the paper is a case study entirely concentrated on the Bosnia-related elements of the original ideology of Yugoslavism. It is divided into several thematic sub-chapters: 1) Rački on Historical and National Belonging of Bosnia; 2) Rački and the Bogomilian Myth; 3) The Clash of Christianity and Islam as the Essence of the Eastern Question; 4) Bulwark and Bridge: the Role of Croats and South Slavs in the History and Solution of the Eastern Question; 5) Between Vienna and Belgrade: the Development of Stances of the Creators of the Ideology of Yugoslavism towards the Posititon of Bosnia in Contemporary Politics. |
