Domišljanje srednjovjekovnog. (Croatian)

The paper analyzes certain aspects of medievalism, the "non-discipline" (or academic field) that is still on the margins of Croatian historiography, but also humanities in general. After a brief overview of the origins, development, and current state of medievalism, attention is focused on its main goals, fields of research, and some aspects of its relationship to medieval studies. Finally, through several case studies, the paper analyzes the shaping of the emotional experience of using the medieval to sublimate and strengthen present-day social needs. By doing so, it points out some of the important issues of the purpose of historiography and the positioning of a historian in research, but also the influence of the notion of the (medieval) past in the making of history. Although unconventional and amusing in its presentation and re-enactment of the medieval, medievalism shows its usefulness and potential for the future research of the Middle Ages. Therefore, the ultimate goal of this paper is to encourage studies of medievalism in Croatia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Polazeći od sadržaja gradskog murala, razmatra se medievalizam, njegove ideje, područje istraživanja i odnos s medievistikom. Pritom se sagledava niz problema povezanih uz oblikovanje popularnog (i znanstvenog) shvaćanja srednjovjekovlja u suvremenosti i shvaćanja povijesti u prošlosti uopće. Tako se posredno ukazuje na neka od bitnih pitanja svrhe historije tepozicioniranja historičara u istraživanju. U konačnici, premda medievalizam zahvaća širok spektar (nejznanstvenih područja, nastoje se potaknuti medievalistička istraživanja dosad na rubu zanimanja hrvatske historiografije i znanosti.
