Abstract
Hetero-images of Istrian and Dalmatian Slavs created in Italian
literary imperialist irredentism, as in works of D’Annunzio, stem from
Venetian colonial experience resulting in carnivalesque stereotypes.
Nazor retorts by creating anti-colonial stereotypes, mainly inspired by
Šenoa; he juxtaposes ‘orientalism’ and ‘slavism’, opposes Italian and
‘Roman’ national myth to Slavic myth.
Keywords
