Abstract:

 


Through the discourse analysis of the Turkish stories Jurij Kozjak, slovenski janičar (1864) and Miklova
Zala: zgodba iz turških časov (1884), the research aims
to examine the role of religion and religious otherness
in the formation of Slovenian identity. The paper centres on observing the development of a specific heuristic
of Orientalism—summarised by Gingrich’s notion of
‘frontier Orientalism’ (1996)—in Slovenian literature
and draws the similarities and differences with Edward Said’s noted theoretical paradigm. As this mytholiterary production of ‘imago Turci’ presents a strong
basis for contemporary debates on Islam in Slovenian
public discourse, the analysis actualises the archaic
portrayals of Muslims and observes their reproductions
in modern contexts.
