Abstract: The paper discusses concepts of Diaspora and Diasporic awareness across various discourse types. In the introductory part, it is distinguished between two main concepts: a “conventional” and a postmodern one. Special emphasis is placed upon the concepts of Diaspora that were employed in the oral discourse of the Serbs from Szgietcsép in Hungary. Through the analysis and interpretation of the narratives it is argued that interlocutors’ oral discourses reflect an ideological diversity which varies from a conventional, organic model of Diaspora to an experience of “Otherness” that goes along with being a minority in every single national culture.
