| Summary: | The recent introduction of the term trickster in political anthropology,
enabled pointing out the elements of the discourse on Josip Broz Tito that
test the current political context in broadly understood space of the so
called yellow press. Understood as a part of folklore, yellow journalism
allows researcher to recognize practice of polarization to the past and the
present, the age of power and the age of powerlessness, while ambivalent,
both glorifying and parodying writing on Josip Broz Tito, result in the
creation of subversive text that speaks symbolic language, telling about the
current state of the interior and foreign policy of Serbia. Defining
political trickterism, pointing out the traits that can serve as heuristic
key for identification, the presence of Josip Broz Tito in yellow
journalism, is understood as one of the manners that help society to
overcome economic, political tensions and unresolved conflicts.
