World Literature, National Literature and National Identity: the Case of Croatia from the 19th Century to the Beginnings of Postmodernism

Abstract

U radu se prikazuje odnos hrvatske kulture prema fenomenu svjetske književnosti od vremena institucionalizacije nacionalnoga identiteta do nastupa ranih postmodernih trendova. Taj se odnos prikazuje u svjetlu usporedivih europskih pojava, a naglasak se stavlja na prikaz razvoja hrvatske filologije i komparatistike od 19. stoljeća do 70-ih godina 20. stoljeća.The article discusses the relationship of Croatian culture to the phenomenon of world literature from the period of the institutionalization of modern Croatian national identity to the early postmodern era. This relationship is compared with similar European processes, with an emphasis on the development of Croatian philology and comparative literature from the 19th century to the 1970s
