Abstract

The human interpretation of the surrounding world is the linguistic image of that world, and it can be real, imaginative, and apparent. Homeland is for Croatians a layered semantic sign that includes space, time, social community and lifestyle, and hence the emotional relation to the concept. In this paper, we will question the mutual influences of the real image of the world and those fictitious, created in art. Analyzing selected texts of contemporary Croatian popular culture – the novel Gori domovina (Lazić / Kožul) and the lyrics of the popular songs – intend to show changes in the representation of the homeland in Croatian public and cultural space since 2000.
