Abstract

[The chapter examines the role of geographers in creating the Yugoslav state in two connected yet parallel processes. One refers to the actions of Jovan Cvijić as a member of the Yugoslav delegation at the Paris Peace Conference, who has received much scholarly attention. Duančić, however, emphasized the process of “geographical narration” that took place in Yugoslavia between 1918 and the mid-1920s, when Yugoslav geographers wrote geographical overviews of the new country for Yugoslavs themselves, not for international audiences, as Cvijić had done. These publications proved decisive for Yugoslavs’ understanding of their new homeland. They “naturalized” Yugoslavia but, as the chapter shows, at the same time struggled with devising a framework that could overcome the country’s geographical fragmentation and its cultural and political implications.]
