During the late Habsburg and interwar periods, three divergent narratives on the contemporary Slovenian self vied to construct Trnovo. First, Slovenian folklore scholars imagined into being a national folk through philological and cultural research. Second, architectural Modernism arrived in Ljubljana in the 1920s through returning emigre professionals, notably Joze Plecnik. These two expert narratives converged on Trnovo, then a small settlement, and the neighborhood came to symbolize the imagined national folk, Plecnik's monuments of Modernist designs, and a local community for three different populations.

520 # $a During the late Habsburg and interwar periods, three divergent narratives on the contemporary Slovenian self vied to construct Trnovo. First, Slovenian folklore scholars imagined into being a national folk through philological and cultural research. Second, architectural Modernism arrived in Ljubljana in the 1920s through returning emigre professionals, notably Joze Plecnik. These two expert narratives converged on Trnovo, then a small settlement, and the neighborhood came to symbolize the imagined national folk, Plecnik's monuments of Modernist designs, and a local community for three different populations.
520 # $a In the post-war era, socialist Yugoslavia attempted to reshape its citizenry, but cultural continuities predominated in Trnovo outside of religious matters. In parallel, the disciplines of folklore studies and architecture also experienced continuities in expert beliefs. In 1969, the state's new urban planning agencies sparked over 10 years of public debate by revealing development plans for Trnovo. Public response took the form of three disparate narratives, each of which recast an interwar narrative on Trnovo but only one of which enjoyed political success. City residents metonymically recycled beliefs on the national folk of Trnovo, while Trnovo residents voiced oral protests and some reimagined themselves as the true Slovenians. Architecture and art history experts successfully challenged the plan by navigating the ill-functioning political system's networks of power with narratives on personal prestige and interwar professional excellence. Based on ethnographic and archival research, this study of Trnovo's history reveals that interwar beliefs significantly shaped post-war political discourse which unfolded in face-to-face exchanges across personal networks. The resulting Trnovo landscape contains a remarkable cross-section of pre-war vernacular architecture, high-rise complexes and socialist suburbia, in an ensemble that reflects the disparate discourses of the post-war.
520 # $a One of the most beloved neighborhoods in Ljubljana, Slovenia (the former Yugoslavia), Trnovo has been associated with the Slovenian national folk since the late Habsburg period. A multi-vocal site, Trnovo embodies a historic gardening district, Joze Plecnik's Modernist architecture, and post-war urban destruction. This thesis examines the discursive construction of Trnovo's symbolic and physical landscape from 1895 to 1989 by competing local, state and folkloristic narratives on the national self and the imagined national folk.
