Discovering Slavic Mythology between East and West: Folklore Research and the Pagan Past in the Service of Nation-Building
Original language description
This article analyses how pagan Slavic religion and mythology were assembled in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, using the example of folklore research in the Czech lands. It demonstrates how imaginings of the original nature of Slavic religion and mythology, and speculations about the Indo-European past, contributed to Czech nation-building. Reviewing the shift from amateur folklore research to the establishment of institutionalized disciplines, the article argues that Christian theological assumptions enabled the ‘discovery’ of Slavic religion and gave it a peculiar shape through secularization of the original theological ideas.
