- W779885847 abstract "AbstractIn this paper we will begin with the argument that identities are subject of permanent change. In these processes we will stress the importance of the used resources and the impact of governing structures in constructing someone's' collective identity. We will then argue that the processes of authoritarianism may also support the change of identity. Even more, manipulations with identities needs and feeds on authoritarianism. Also, different aspects of national identity of Macedonians will be elaborated: ethnic, religious and the reinvigorated myth of Alexander of Macedon. All of these will be shown as part of contemporary Macedonian identity. Rationale for the arguments we can locate between the ideas of what one think it is and the contingency of what one can become.Key words: identity, change, common myths, authoritarianism, Macedonian identity1. IntroductionThe first generation of Macedonian historians traced the emergence of the Macedonian nation back to the nineteenth century.Macedonian national history was traced to the nineteenth century, with its most prominent expression being the revolutionary struggle for freedom, equality and independence (Frusetta, 2004).Intellectuals began to articulate 'Macedonian' national consciousness. The 'Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organisation' (VMRO), which was established in 1893, and the Ilinden Rising against Ottoman rule on 2 August 1903, were the first significant political manifestations of Macedonian national consciousness. Later, thanks to the efforts of the Communist Macedonian partisans during World War Two and the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, whose role was particularly emphasised by socialist Macedonian historiography, a Macedonian state was established as a Socialist Republic of Macedonia within Yugoslavia. The first important shiftin tracing the myth of origin was the attempt to find the origins of the Macedonian nation further back in history, namely in the Middle Ages.Now, the medieval empire of Czar Samuil and his successors (969-1018), whose capitals were Prespa and Ohrid in Macedonia, was re-evaluated as a Macedonian state although existing scholarship had regarded it Bulgarian (Brunnbauer, 2004: 179).During the second historiographical shiftin the early 1990s, efforts were made to include the ancient Macedonians in the national narrative. Macedonian historians challenged Greece's 'exclusive ownership' of the symbols and territory of the ancient Macedonians in order to back up their claims to the name and the land of Macedonia and to create their own ancient national patrimony. The main claim was that the ancient Macedonians were not Greeks but a different, non-Hellenic people who joined in the ethnogenesis of the Macedonian people by melting into the Slavs who had come to the region in the sixth and seventh centuries. They asserted that ancient Macedonians and ancient Greeks were completely different peoples. The discourse on the ancient Macedonians was intended to substantiate the Macedonians' claims to a long national pedigree and also to a homeland. (Atanasov, 2004). The narrative with the ancient roots was kept low profiled until the 2008 and the Greek embargo for the membership of Macedonia in NATO because of the name issue. The Alexander the Great became Macedonian direct ancestor and the descent of the modern Macedonian nation was perceived as one from the intermarriage between migrating Slavs and remnants of the ancient Macedonian people of Alexander the Great. So, this resource that even existed longer in the Macedonian recent historiography was put into the full speed and the political elites used it as an element of ethno genesis and ethnocentric national identity.Let us now turn to the indicators that can shed more light concerning the theses and the data.2. Indicators for analysisThe first indicator for analysis is the fact that identities are in continues processes of change. …" @default.
