Balkan Identities in Bulgarian Culture from the Modern Times (19th -20th centuries)
This paper deals with the texts of the culture that mythologise the tradition of the Bogomiles. Their strategies of small sacred histories of the Bogomiles share one common feature - treating the Bogomiles instrumentally they condemn them to be unrecognised. The contradictory interpretations of the ideology of the Bulgarian neo-Manichaeism, quasi-reconstructions of the gnosis of the Bogomiles,
often effect of superinterpretation, share one aim - to hide their pessimism and to replace it by pantheism or something else. The author analyses the case of the famous Bulgarian teacher Petar Dunov and his image of the Bogomiles, some texts of Bulgarian freemasons, Marxists, historians, etc.
