Abstract
Stanko Lasić’s statements on Serbian and Croatian literature as Bulgarian literature and culture can be understood as an expression of his lasting dedication to the "Western" Canon - to its values, norms and authors, dedication arising from the traumatic seeing of the ephemerality of one’s own intellectual and spiritual starting point. Such position in regard to the “advanced” West forms a recognizable part of the discourse of Croatian writers and intellectuals, which, from the 19th century onwards, regulates a certain kind of a collective imagery.
