metadata.value: The question about the (non)existence of Slovincians has been one of the more intriguing issues
  in Slavic studies. Slovincians, discovered initially as an “ethnic group” (Hilferding, 1862), was 130 years later
  rejected as a “fiction” (Szultka, 1992). Assimilating the lessons of the epistemological turn, which suggests
  shifting the emphasis from “whether” to “how” does anything exist, I critically examine the foundations
  and significance of the argument that there never was any “ethnic group” of Slovincians (in modern period)
  since there was no such a tribe in early medieval times. In the first part of the paper, I reveal that Szultka’s
  claim is supported by very limited evidence following the conceptually limited (“archaeological”) naturalist
  notion of tribe. In the second part, after familiarizing the reader with an antinaturalist anthropological notion
  of tribes as “secondary phenomena”, I seek to demonstrate that in the course of history, the Slovincians were
  constantly tribalized on the material and symbolic level by the Germans and the Poles (and some other actors
  of Slavic identity). Even if to be a tribe does not entail to be an ethnic group, Slovincians may be a fiction
  only in terms of social construction or making of.
