Keywords: Vladimir Nazor; Italians; colonialism; literary stereotypes
Summary/Abstract: Hetero-images of Istrian and Dalmatian Slavs created in Italian literary imperialist irredentism, as in works of D’Annunzio, stem from Venetian colonial experience resulting in carnivalesque stereotypes. Nazor retorts by creating anti-colonial stereotypes, mainly inspired by Šenoa; he juxtaposes ‘orientalism’ and ‘slavism’, opposes Italian and ‘Roman’ national myth to Slavic myth.
