Odonyms as a Political Manifestation on the Example of Zadar in the 20th C.
Zlatko Begonja
Abstract
During the 20th century the names of streets and city squares in Zadar depended in an essential sense on the dominant political circumstances. This period, so rich in political turmoil, offered examples of using odonyms for the purpose of confirming precisely defined political-ideological conceptions. For this reason an attempt was made to analyze the naming of streets and squares in Zadar from the beginning of the 20th century to the end of the 20th century and to determine the dominant criteria for the use of odonyms. As a consequence of such a political-ideological imposition, a framework for the specific use of odonyms was established.
