20.500.12556/DiRROS-27476 Identity construction and belonging a study of second-generation Bosnian immigrants Oblikovanje identitete in občutek pripadnosti The study examines identity formation and the sense of belonging among second-generation Bosnian immigrants in Serbia and Montenegro, children of refugees displaced by the Bosnian War. Despite a shared cultural heritage across the Balkans, these individuals often navigate historical animosities and nationalist tensions in a post-conflict society. A qualitative approach, grounded in Social Identity Theory and based on semi-structured interviews, identified three central themes: rejection of national and ethnic distinctions in favour of a broader Balkan identity, the essential role of family in shaping values, and artistic expression as a means of self-exploration. The findings suggest identity among secondgeneration immigrants is fluid and continuously shaped by personal interactions rather than inherited divisions. These findings contribute to the existing literature by offering insight into how cultural heritage, familial dynamics, and creative expression shaped participants’ identities. Študija proučuje oblikovanje identitete in občutek pripadnosti med drugo generacijo bosanskih priseljencev v Srbiji in Črni gori, tj. otroki beguncev, razseljenih zaradi vojne v Bosni in Hercegovini. Kljub skupni balkanski kulturni dediščini se ti posamezniki v povojni družbi pogosto soočajo z zgodovinskimi sovražnostmi in nacionalističnimi napetostmi. S kvalitativnim pristopom, utemeljenim na teoriji socialne identitete, so bile s pomočjo polstrukturiranih intervjujev opredeljene tri osrednje teme: zavračanje nacionalnih in etničnih razlik v korist širše balkanske identitete, bistvena vloga družine pri oblikovanju vrednot in umetniško izražanje kot sredstvo samospoznavanja. Ugotovitve kažejo, da je identiteta priseljencev druge generacije fluidna, saj jo bolj kot podedovane delitve oblikujejo osebne interakcije. Članek ponuja vpogled v vpliv kulturne dediščine, družinske dinamike in ustvarjalnega izražanja na identiteto posameznikov in tako dopolnjuje obstoječo strokovno literaturo. identity formation second-generation immigrants belonging post-conflict societies Bosnia and Herzegovina oblikovanje identitete priseljenci druge generacije občutek pripadnosti povojne družbe Bosna in Hercegovina true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2026-02-09 12:31:41 2026-02-09 12:31:41 2026-02-27 03:58:29 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 89–115 No. 95 dec. 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-12-01 314.15 0354-0286 10.2478/tdjes-2025-0013 267606019 https://reference-global.com/article/10.2478/tdjes-2025-0013 1 e8c95f48-05aa-11f1-88c7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=40219 Identity_Construction_and_Belonging_A_Study_of_Second-Generation_Bosnian_Immigrants.pdf Identity_Construction_and_Belonging_A_Study_of_Second-Generation_Bosnian_Immigrants.pdf 1 F728915A1291AA0E45259CB0DB386A05 9c77dc7bc74cf4dc16d5a4f6cd8b1e9ddbb17216a0e83e6b7b5386341c23e1fc 4de36c3a-12eb-11f1-9cb0-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=40929 Inštitut za narodnostna vprašanja Razprave in gradivo 0 0 0
