A CROATIAN CONTROVERSY: MEDITERRANEAN - DANUBE - BALKANS

Dunja Rihtman-Auguštin

Sažetak

The author offers a collage of attitudes towards the sea in some
Croatian regions. She discusses the mentality of people living
beside the sea, from the beginning of the 1900s up until the middle
of the century and considers the opposing conceptions about the sea
among coastal-dwelling and continental inhabitants of Croatia. The
author studies the role of the so-called Adriatic orientation in the
economic policy of the former Yugoslavia. Further, she draws
attention to the mythic treatment of the sea in a part of Croatian
literature. Finally, the conception of the Adriatic Sea as a possible
mediator between its western coast and the eastern coast hinterland
is confronted with the symbolics of the Danube.
