Abstract

IN ENGLISH: This chapter explores the complexity of the construction of inner boundaries among adolescents in the period of post-conflict Croatia, describing adolescents' sense of belonging and alienation, by searching for the phenomena used in their ethnic identification process. Analysis of qualitative data shows that the sense of belongingness based on diverse ethnic indicators is a contested site filled with subjective interpretations of imposed social and political circumstances. The paper argues that a sense of belonging among adolescents can be drawn on individual interpretations of their migratory experience in relation to multidimensional cultural and social changes. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Ovo poglavlje detaljno opisuje različite fragmente etničkog identiteta kod adolescenata s iskustvom preseljenja te njihovu ulogu u procesu konstrukcije osjećaja pripadnosti etničkoj zajednici, naglašavajući pritom složenost grupnih granica u poslijeratnoj Hrvatskoj. Analiza kvalitativnih podataka pokazuje da je osjećaj pripadnosti temeljen istovremeno na raznorodnim etničkim pokazateljima izuzetno složen i kompleksan pojam ispunjen subjektivnim tumačenjima nametnutih društvenih i političkih okolnosti. U radu se tvrdi da se osjećaj pripadnosti među adolescentima može opisati individualnim interpretacijama njihova migracijskog iskustva u odnosu na višedimenzionalne kulturne i društvene promjene.
