Abstract: This article deals with a specific semiotic connection established between mythology and politics that can be helpful in terms of explaining and understanding a very complex semiotization of Kosovo in South Slavic cultures. The author analyzes a poetic definition of Kosovo offered by Matija Bećković - “Kosovo is the most expensive Serbian word†, because in politics, just like in mythology, everything is about words and their meaning , and not about facts.

Keywords: mythology of Kosovo; semiotics; symbolic sign; defense; political solution; (post)colonial discourse; inferior culture; colonial trauma; auto communication (search for similar items in EconPapers)
