Description

(Short description)
In Dalmatia, mutually exclusive memories are at work, and they concern space and heritage which is, at least to some extent, common but is contested and claimed by all sides. National imagination at work in multicultural borderlands of Dalmatia in the period 1890 to 1941
(Text)
Although Dalmatia is not at the core of the contemporary imagination of the Habsburg Empire, which has recently been idealised in scholarship, it shares several similarities with the majority of the ex-Habsburg borderlands, one of which is its complex ethnic makeup in the period of politicisation of a modern nationalist agenda (1890-1941). In this volume, the author deals with the most important Croatian, Italian and Serbian discourses that shaped the space and defined the heritage of Dalmatia. They organised spatial knowledge by bringing about competing mental maps which envisaged Dalmatia in national or regional terms. The book, focusing on prominent writers and societal actors, could also be seen as a contribution to intellectual history or the history of ideas on these Dalmatian borderlands.
