Abstract

The text follows, within the interpretational framework of symbolic competition, the political remodelling of primarily regional identity in the 1990s. The term Istrijan, together with the term Istrian, up to then neutral in the political sense, changed its meaning after entering the political discourse. As a part of the terminological network launched by the regionalist Istrian Democratic Assembly (IDS), the nominal identity Istrijan became virtually separated from the term Istrian.
