metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This paper provides a study case of the First World War Croatian Major General Otmar Babić.
  It investigates the post-First World War national identity construction and shifting state loyalties
  of this Austro-Hungarian high-ranking military official in three different state regimes:
  the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes / Kingdom of
  Yugoslavia, and Independent State of Croatia. In view of the limited scope of this paper, the
  presented preliminary findings are narrowly focused on the text — on Otmar Babić’s statements
  in various types of narrations. His personal records are treated as narrations that belong
  to the historization of warfare experience — a military history from below. Therefore,
  this micro-level sociological study has analyzed developed discourse and discursive practices
  reflected in the correspondence between Major General Babić and state institutions, and his
  private, more intimate, writings expressed in poetry. Otmar Babic’s statements have been analyzed
  and treated as social representations expressed in discourse about the impact of the First
  World War on his life. Foucauldian discourse analysis applied as methodology has therefore,
  enabled to do qualitative sociological research into the shifting nature of Otmar Babić’s identity
  construction in different state regimes, as well as into his shifting state loyalties after the
  First World War when he was retired. Otmar Babić’s case provides a subjective account of the
  military past and post-war life and represents a source of First World War history from a personal
  perspective and a true testimony to the long lost Croatian cultural memory.
