Immigrant Character Types in Recent Croatian Literature

Cvjetko MILANJA ; Institute of Social Sciences Ivo Pilar, Zagreb

Abstract

The paper outlines a possible typology of immigrant characters
in 19th and 20th century Croatian literature. Since there are
almost no similar articles in Croatian literary historiography, the
author warns methodologically of two levels and two separate
issues – the treatment of these topics in local and exile
literature. Generally, there is the type of character of economic
provenance – with a hoarding mentality, along with the home
nostalgic – as well as the figure of the artist intellectual who
emigrates to fulfil his/her cultural needs, and ultimately, the
politically and ideologically charged character, which was more
in the focus of attention of exile literature.
