PREDICTING THE WAR? - THE ETHNOSOCIOLOGY OF DINKO TOMAŠIĆ

Aleksandar Štulhofer ; Faculty of Phllosophy.Zaqreb

Abstract

The paper explores the thought about a fundamental distinction
between Croats and Serbs. The most elaborated variant
presenting this "distinction" is the ethnosociology of Dinko A.
Tomašić. Founded upon the socializational differences between
the sedentary and nomadic cultures, the "collective and tribal"
typology of .Tomašić tries to explain the instability of the two
Yugoslav communities. Moreover, Tomašić also indicates the
conditions under which a bloody disintegration of the socialist
community is expected to occur. In the attempt to show that
Tomašlč's prediction represents a realistic conclusion resulting
from irreal premises, an alternativeapproach is presented in the
papers concluding passage. And in the end, the cause for the
popularity of the "distinction" thesis is described.
