| Abstract: | The pre-Enlightenment scholars from the Land of Carniola explored the region, its past, sociality and nature in order to give it praise. They aimed to produce knowledge based on rational reasoning in accordance with the emerging modern scientific episteme. They encountered mythical discourse which they attempted to overcome, yet, as the author of this article argues, they also drew from mythical discourse. Through case studies the author shows how ancient myths played a role in consolidating identity and building community. She argues that pre-Enlightenment scholars built collective memory in reference to the mythological establishment of the city of Ljubljana. |
