Vojna uniforma - razvoj, značaj i značenje
Military uniform: Development, importance and meaning
Univerzitet odbrane, Vojna akademija, Beograd
Keywords: uniform; sign; symbol; characteristics of the military; characteristics of the military profession
Sažetak
Rad je nastao s namerom da se pokaže da vojna uniforma - njen nastanak, razvoj, promene, kvalitet i simboli istaknuti na njoj, jasno ukazuju na društvene i kulturne obrasce i uticaje koje je vojna organizacija pretrpela u svom istorijskom hodu. Takođe, u radu se pokazuje da vojna uniforma (treba da) zadovoljava dva ključna zahteva: podesnost za izvršenje dodeljenih zadataka u okviru definisanih misija s jedne i podizanje 'borbenog duha' pripadnika vojske s druge strane. Ako se vojna uniforma shvati kao jezik koji nam se obraća i koji nam nešto saopštava, onda se može analizirati smisao simbola i oznaka na uniformi, kao i uniforma kao simbola po sebi. Kretanje tragom ove misli autore je dovelo do zaključka da se smisao uniforme kao simboličkog jezika nalazi u izražavanju osobina vojske kao društvene institucije i karakteristika vojne profesije.
Abstract
This paper has been written with the intention to emphasize that the military uniform - its emergence, development, changes, quality and symbols highlighted on it clearly point to social and cultural patterns and effects that the military organization underwent in its historical course. Furthermore, the paper shows that the military uniform should meet two key requirements: the suitability for execution of assigned tasks within defined missions, on the one hand, and raising the 'combat spirit' of the armed forces members, on the other hand. If the military uniform is understood as a language that speaks to us and which communicates something, then the meaning of symbols and labels on it, as well as the uniform as a symbol itself, can be analyzed. Therefore, the meaning of a uniform as a symbolic language is in the expression of the characteristics of the military as the social institution and the characteristics of the military profession.
