Zapomniany motyw dalmatyńskiej mamki a modelowanie wyobrażeń o Dalmacji w prozie Milana Begovicia, Vladana Desnicy i Enza Bettizy
The Forgotten Motif of a Dalmatian Wet Nurse and Modeling the Image of Dalmatia in the Prose of Milan Begović, Vladan Desnica and Enzo Bettiza

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to discuss the forgotten motif of a Dalmatian wet nurse in the artistic prose of three writers: Milan Begović, Vladan Desnica and Enzo Bettiza, and attempt to situate it in the context of disputes over Dalmatia. The literary update on the motif is in line with the modeling strategies of Dalmatian hinterland referring to the vision of “noble savages” (the Morlacchis/Vlajs). They can serve in bringing about the colonisation policy (as was done in the 18th century by the Republic of Venice) as well as in defining complex relationships in this Croatian-Serbian-Italian borderlands.
