Mythological Symbolism in the Work of Vladimir Nazor

Jevgenij Paščenko ; Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Zagreb

Abstract

The article reflects on the mythological symbolism in the work of
Vladimir Nazor. The sources of Nazor’s interest in the mythological are
shown in relation to the culture of the island of Brač, Istria, ethnology,
folklorictics, the writer’s poetics, ideologies and the characteristics
of the literary periods of the respective texts examined. Several
mythologems are concentrated on: the myth of the Slavs, the myth
of ethnogenesis, the myth of faith in the future, etc. It is argued that
Nazor’s work reflects ideas contemporary to present studies, including
that of the reconstruction of the mythical substrate in the intangible
Croatian cultural heritage.
