Die Nation war das zentrale Zukunftsprojekt des burgerlichen 19. Jahrhunderts. Als Disziplin wie auch als Genre entstand in diesem Zusammenhang die Nationalgeschichte.


Nation-building was the core political project of the bourgeois 19th century. It went along with the rise of national history, both as a new discipline and genre. Its general task was to trace back the origins of the imagined communities deeply into the past, and by doing so to legitimize the political claim of people and territory. National history produced an inventory of images, which became the basis for political discourse. But if constructed this way – how did national history adapt to an environment that was thoroughly marked by multiculturality and plurality of memories? The study investigates this issue, focusing on Habsburg Bosnia-Herzegovina and specifically on the bourgeois remembrance culture of the Bosnian Serbs.
