This article aims to show how South Slavic oral lyric songs in love and wedding contexts construct the images of an 'undesired Other'. The multiform Other may be a temporary Other within the in-group, while going through the liminal phase of the wedding rite of passage; or an outsider-Other by virtue of ethnicity, religion, or social status. The undesired Other is both known and unknown, dangerous and in danger, inferior and superior. He or she may be modelled as the ethnic and social Other, and ultimately as inhuman. The undesired Other functions primarily as a mean to articulate the fears, anxieties, hopes, and longings of young people of marriageable age.
