INTERCULTURAL LITERATURE IN ITALIAN LANGUAGE IN THE MIDST OF NATIONAL LITERATURES
Dario Saftich

Sažetak
When speaking about the literature of Croatia's Italian minority, its beginnings can be traced to 1945. Newly formed borders, the immigration influx into Italy and overseas regions, the fleeing of left-wing oriented citizens, especially intellectuals, out of Italy, a new socio-political order all lay the groundwork for the creation of a specific, albeit very developed minority's literature. However, it should be taken into account that whilst the literature of the minority was developing in Croatia, the diaspora's literature also began to appear. In this essay, we will present a summarized depiction of these two literatures as well as their mutual relationship from both an Italian and Croatian perspective. We have deliberately avoided using the term «literature of the Italian minority», as it is important to note that use of a certain language doesn’t necessarily imply national affiliation with a certain national group and there generally exist differing opinions, especially in Rijeka, as to the criteria used to define affiliation as such.
