Abstract
The article presents the structure, contents and local role of the
contemporary magazine Male novine, an informative organ of the
Croatian immigration community in the Magallanes region of Chile.
Special attention is given to usage of the Croatian language in the
magazine since it is entirely written in Spanish except for the sections
dedicated to learning Croatian as L2. This language-learning level,
unfortunately, does not exceed a marginal position within the magazine,
which is not surprising, however, since the magazine is dedicated to
the third and subsequent generations of Croatian immigrants and other
interested parties. Additionally, the author provides her own view of the
process of the (re)construction of images of Croatia and Croatianness as
they are formed by Male novine, recognizing them as reflections of the
mental images of the Croatian immigrant community in the Magallanes
region.
