Diaspora Communities in Cyberspace: Virtual Identities of Croatian Ethnic Communities in Chile and Argentine
Hrvatska dijaspora putem novih komunikacijskih sredstava interneta kreira novi oblik druÅ”tvenosti ā etniÄko okupljanje, komunikaciju i interakciju u virtualnom prostoru. Na taj se naÄin generira novi oblik druÅ”tvenih zajednica i kolektivnih identiteta, tzv. virtualne dijasporske zajednice i virtualni dijasporski identiteti.
U ovom radu za istraživanje identiteta hrvatskih virtualnih druÅ”tvenih zajednica (HVDZ) izabrali smo popularnu druÅ”tvenu mrežu Facebook te smo putem tražilice selektirali zajednice koje se svrstavaju u kategoriju Hrvati u Äileu ili Hrvati u Argentini. Proveli smo terensko online istraživanje sa sudjelovanjem radi prikupljanja podataka o HVDZ u Äileu i Argentini na viÅ”e lokacija unutar kiberprostora (druÅ”tvene mreže). Odabrana je etnografska metoda (prouÄavanje ponaÅ”anja online zajednica i kultura gdje smo istovremeno bili Älanovi zajednice, ali i istraživaÄi) i kvalitativno-interpretativni pristup u obradi, odnosno analizi podataka. S pozicije istraživaÄa i sudionika unutar zajednica opredijelili smo se za opis simboliÄkih dimenzija kulturnih praksi HVDZ. Prikazali smo povezanost offline i online prostora kao i vidljivost i dinamiku translokalnih i transnacionalnih veza HVDZ koje su postale dostupne i svakodnevne kroz raÄunalno posredovanu komunikacijuThe Croatian diaspora have created a new form of sociability - ethnic gathering, communication and interaction in virtual space - using the new communication tools of the internet. In this way, they have produced new forms of social communities and collective identity - the so called virtual diaspora communities and virtual diaspora identities.
In this paper a popular social network ā Facebook - was chosen to explore the identity of HVSN, (Croatian virtual social network) via a search engine tool selecting the communities classified in the following categories: Croatians in Chile/Croatians in Argentina.
We conducted online field research with participation as to to collect data on HVDZ in Chile and Argentina in multiple locations within cyberspace (social networks). The netographic method (the study of the behavior of online communities and cultures where we are both members of the community and researchers) was chosen, alongside a qualitative-interpretative approach in processing / data analysis. From the position of being both a researcher and participant within the community, we selected a description of the symbolic dimension of the cultural practices of the HVDZ. The connection between off-line and on-line space was outlined where the real life of the emigrant /diaspora community becomes public in virtual space. as well as the dynamics of translocal and transnational HVDZ practices that became available and, on a daily basis through the computer-based communication, also become visible

EtniÄna identiteta Hrvatov v Å vici: sistematizacija in analiza aktivnosti in delovanja hrvaÅ”kih etniÄnih druÅ”tev
The exploration of ethnic societies in destination countries is an important aspect in study of migrations. Ethnic societies not only shape the activities and identity of migrants, but also aff ect the integration of the immigrants into the receiving societies. The paper discusses the migration of Croats (Yugoslavs) to Switzerland, and the ethnic identity of Croatian migrants in Switzerland in terms of social organizing (through the activities and interactions of various Croatian ethnic societies) in the period when Croatia was part of Yugoslavia. The paper is an attempt to point to a specifi c social context and socio-cultural diff erences of Croatian migrants in relation to diff erent periods and causes of emigration, and thus to diff erent forms and intensity of ethnic organization and impacts of Croatian immigrant societies on the preservation of their ethnic identity as well as on the integration in Swiss society.Pomemben vidik v preuÄevanju migracij je tudi raziskovanje etniÄnih druÅ”tev v državah imigracije. EtniÄna druÅ”tva ne le oblikujejo dejavnosti in identiteto migrantov, temveÄ vplivajo tudi na integracijo migrantov v družbo gostiteljico. Prispevek govori o migracijah Hrvatov (Jugoslovanov) v Å vico in etniÄni identiteti hrvaÅ”kih migrantov v Å vici z vidika družbene organizacije (z aktivnostmi in delovanjem razliÄnih hrvaÅ”kih etniÄnih druÅ”tev) v obdobjih, ko je bila HrvaÅ”ka v sklopu SFRJ. PoskuÅ”ali bomo poudariti specifi Äni družbeni kontekst in socio-kulturne razlike pri hrvaÅ”kih migrantih glede na razliÄna obdobja in vzroke izseljevanja, s tem pa tudi razliÄne oblike in intenziteto etniÄnega organiziranja ter vplive hrvaÅ”kih etniÄnih druÅ”tev na ohranjanje etniÄne identitete in integracijo v imigrantsko Å”vicarsko družbo
How We Became Yugoslavs: On Ethnic/National Identities of Croats in Chile and Argentina During WWI (Abstract)
Prvi svjetski rat i dogaÄaji koji su uslijedili tijekom i nakon rata imali su snažan utjecaj na kolektivne identifikacije iseljenika. Nacionalno samoodreÄenje Hrvata unutar ili izvan Monarhije, na trijalistiÄkoj osnovi s Austro-Ugarskom ili u zajednici s južnoslavenskim narodima, nametale su se kao dominantne nacionalne ideologije u domovini. Takva politiÄka situacija preslikavala se i meÄu iseljeniÄkim zajednicama u Äileu i Argentini. DogaÄaj poput Prvoga svjetskog rata mijenja kolektivne identifikacije i strategije hrvatskih iseljenika u Äileu i Argentini, a putem iseljeniÄkog tiska i iseljeniÄkih druÅ”tava propagira se nova nacionalna definicija i južnoslavenska koncepcija buduÄe države te se osniva iseljeniÄki pokret Jugoslavenska narodna obrana (JNO) u Južnoj Americi. KoristeÄi iseljeniÄki tisak kao izvor u svrhu pronalaženja dominantnih diskursa u oblikovanju kolektivne svijesti iseljenika, u radu nastojimo odgovoriti na pitanja kako su dogaÄaji u domovini, prije svega Prvi svjetski rat, utjecali na kolektivne identifikacije iseljenika u Äileu i Argentini, te analiziramo faktore koji su doprinijeli snažnim odobravanjem i participacijom iseljenika u Äileu u iseljeniÄkom pokretu JNO-a (za razliku od iseljenika u Argentini) kao i njihovu ulogu u stvaranju buduÄe Kraljevine SHS / Jugoslavije.WWI and the events that ensued during and after the war had a strong impact on the immigrantsā collective identity. National self-determination of Croats in or outside of the Monarchy, on the trilateral foundation with The Austro-Hungarian Monarchy or in the association with the South Slavic nations, imposed themselves as the dominant national ideology in the homeland. The same political situation was also evident among the immigrant communities in Chile and Argentina. Events such as WWI changed the collective identity and strategies of the Croatian emigrants in Chile and Argentina, whereby
a new national definition and South Slavic concept of a future state was promoted by the immigration press and emigrant associations. Consequently, the immigrant movement Yugoslav Peopleās Defence (JNO) in South America was established. Using the emigrant press as a source, in order to find the dominant discourse in shaping migrantsā collective consciousness, in this paper we are trying to answer the questions of how the events in the homeland, WWI in particular, had affected the collective identity of immigrants in Chile and Argentina. The article analyzes the factors that contributed to the strong support
and participation of immigrants in the Chile emigrant movement JNO (as opposed to immigrants in Argentina) as well as their role in creating the future state of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes/Yugoslavia (SHS/Jugoslavija)

The article discuses national identity on the example of the Croatian diaspora in two overseas countries: Argentina and Australia. The time frame is set from the beginning of the Second World War until today. The topic of the research is the Croatian diaspora with different social and national activities, as well as the attitudes within the Croatian emigrant societies. The purpose of the article is to determine the manner in which the national identity of the Croatian Diaspora in the two overseas countries was formed and preserved and to identify possible similarities or differences between them.Delo analizira nacionalno identiteto na primeru hrvaÅ”ke diaspore v dveh prekooceanskih državah: Argentini in Avstraliji, od zaÄetka druge svetovne vojne do danes. Tema raziskave je hrvaÅ”ka diaspora z razliÄnimi družbenimi in nacionalnimi dejavnostmi, kot tudi odnosi znotraj hrvaÅ”kih izseljenskih družb. Namen Älanka je predstaviti naÄin vzpostavljanja in ohranjanja nacionalne identitete v hrvaÅ”ki diaspori v Argentini in Avstraliji in identificirati morebitne podobnosti ali razlike med njimi
Strategije promoviranja ulaganja dijaspore u njihove zemlje porijekla
Investments from the diaspora and transnational entrepreneurship represent significant areas for potential contribution to national development. Due to the fact that diaspora members have the ability to connect with a wide range of potential partners and supporters in both their countries of origin and countries of residence, and thus create opportunities for investment, trade and outsourcing, developing countries which seek human and financial capital should put more focus on facilitation and promotion measures for collaboration with the diaspora. The main aim of this paper is to define and discuss most commonly used policy measures for promoting diaspora investments and transnational entrepreneurship in developing countries and giving recommendations for diaspora engagement. The analysis indicates that policy measures and the degree to which countries have begun to engage their diaspora vary, while most of them still miss an adequate institutional framework for promoting transnational networks which can be an important channel for fostering business development, job creation and innovation.Ulaganja dijaspore i transnacionalno poduzetniÅ”tvo predstavljaju znaÄajna podruÄja potencijalnog doprinosa nacionalnom razvoju. S obzirom na Äinjenicu da dijaspora ima viÅ”e moguÄnosti povezivanja sa Å”irokim spektrom potencijalnih partnera, kako u svojim zemljama podrijetla, tako i u zemljama imigracije te time i stvaranja prilika za ulaganja, trgovinu i outsourcing, zemlje u razvoju kojima nedostaje ljudskog i financijskog kapitala trebale bi se viÅ”e usmjeriti na projekte i mjere poticanja suradnje s dijasporom. Glavni cilj ovog rada je definirati i raspraviti glavne i najÄeÅ”Äe koriÅ”tene mjere politika za poticanje ulaganja dijaspore i transnacionalnog poduzetniÅ”tva u zemljama u razvoju sa svrhom davanja preporuka za ukljuÄivanje dijaspore. Provedena je analiza ukazala da su mjere poticanja i stupanj ukljuÄivanja dijaspore razliÄiti meÄu zemljama, a u veÄini njih i dalje nedostaje odgovarajuÄi institucionalni okvir za promicanje transnacionalnih mreža koje mogu biti važan kanal razvoja poduzetniÅ”tva, radnih mjesta i inovacija
Life on Two Locations: āa Sense of Placeā and How to Connect the Old and the New Homes
U radu se na osnovi dubinskih intervjua triju kazivaÄa koji žive na dvije
lokacije ā u stanu i vikendici ili u stanu i staroj obiteljskoj kuÄi, govori o
kvalitativnom konceptu prostora (doma). RazraÄuju se pitanja odnosa identiteta
i mjesta življenja (doma) te mijenjanja uloga, naÄina i kvalitete života
u odnosu na lokaciju (stari ili novi dom), kroz permanentnu prožetost i usporedivost
starog i novog doma. āOsjeÄaj mjestaā (doma) shvaÄa se kao socijalni
konstrukt, kao mjesto življenja, osjeÄanja, dijeljenja, obreda, oživljavanja tradicije
i osobnih pamÄenja.This paper is based on in-depth interviews with three informants who are
living on two locations ā in a fl at and in a summer cottage, or in a fl at and
in an old family house respectively. It discusses the qualitative concept of the
living space (home). It deals with questions about the relationship between
oneās identity and living space (home), as well as of the change in roles, quality
and the way of life related to the specifi c location (the old or the new homes),
through permanent interfusion and comparability between the old and the new
homes. āThe sense of placeā (home) is seen as a social construction, as a place
of living, feeling, sharing, performing oneās rituals, reviving the tradition, as
well as a place of oneās personal remembrances
Podravka in Markets with a Strong Economy of Minority Ethnic Communities
Ovaj rad prikazuje djelovanje Podravke na globalnim tržiÅ”tima, s posebnim naglaskom na ekonomiju manjinskih etniÄkih zajednica. Tvrtka broji znaÄajne poslovne uspjehe u brojnim zemljama diljem svijeta, a razlog tome je pomno osmiÅ”ljeno poslovanje na domaÄem i inozemnom tržiÅ”tu, ali i Äinjenica Å”to diljem svijeta žive i djeluju hrvatski iseljenici i njihovi potomci. Mnogi od njih dio su upravo manjinske etniÄke ekonomije. Uvidom u poslovne rezultate utvrÄeno je da Podravka uspjeÅ”no izgraÄuje svoj položaj na globalnom tržiÅ”tu, pa tako i u zemljama s izraženim ekonomijama manjinskih etniÄkih zajednica. ZahvaljujuÄi uspjeÅ”nom poslovnom balansu radi kojeg opstaje i Å”iri se na globalnom svjetskom tržiÅ”tu, tvrtka je u pandemijskoj 2020. i 2021. godini zabilježila rast proizvodnje i prihoda, naroÄito na tržiÅ”tima s izraženim udjelom manjinskih etniÄkih ekonomija.This paper presents Podravka\u27s activities in global markets, with special emphasis on the ethnic economies. The company has significant successes in many countries around the world, and the reason for this is the carefully designed business in the domestic and foreign markets, but also the fact that Croatian emigrants and their descendants live and work around the world. Many of them are part of the minority ethnic economy. From the insight into the business results we established that Podravka is successfully developing its position on the global market, including in countries with strong economies
of minority ethnic communities. Thanks to a successful business balance that survives and expands in the global market, the company recorded growth in production and revenue in the pandemic years of 2020 and 2021, especially in markets with a share of minority ethnic economies
Migration Processes and Identities in the Literary Works of Amelia Batistich
Krajem 19. i poÄetkom 20. stoljeÄa doÅ”lo je do pojaÄanoga iseljavanja Hrvata na Novi Zeland zbog politiÄkih i ekonomskih zbivanja u Domovini. U radu se prati integracijski proces na poÄetcima novoga života na Novom Zelandu kroz književno stvaralaÅ”tvo novozelandske književnice hrvatskoga podrijetla Amelije Batistich. Njezina je književnost inspirirana povijeÅ”Äu Hrvata na Novom Zelandu i njihovom prilagodbom novim životnim uvjetima u multikulturalnom okruženju. Zbirka pripovijedaka An Olive Tree in Dalmatia, kao i roman Pjevaj vilo u planini po svojem su sadržaju uronjeni u obiteljsko, povijesno, religijsko, baÅ”tinsko i mitsko, kroz priÄe preneseno pamÄenje, koje vlastiti identitet pronalazi u isprepletenosti dvaju prostora, bivÅ”ega i sadaÅ”njega.At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, there was an increase in the emigration of Croats to New Zealand due to political and economic events in their homeland. From the time of their immigration to the present day, Croatian New Zealanders have preserved an awareness of their ethnic origin and have gradually integrated into New Zealand society. Through the hard work and perseverance of the first generation, new generations of Croatian descendants have been able to attend specialized schools, colleges and universities and today are fully integrated into New Zealand society. In the process they preserved their Croatian identity and founded numerous societies through which they nurtured and built their religious, cultural and political identities. The paper chronicles this integration process through the literary work of Amelia Batistich, a New Zealand writer of Croatian origin. Inspired by the history of Croats in New Zealand and their adjustment to new living conditions in a multicultural environment, her work is immersed in the family, historical, religious and mythical memories passed down from her ancestors and which find their identity in the intertwining of two spaces, the former and the present. In her literary work, written mainly in English, she reflects on the legacy of her ancestors and their need to shape their identity in a multicultural environment defined by hybridity and the necessity to find oneās place in a given space
