Abstract

This article, informative and documentary in character, provides a detailed survey of the continuity and social function of the "Salonsko Kolo" from 19th century Croatia (according to old recordings) to present among emigrants of Croatian descent in Antofagasta, Chile. The structure of the dance has remained the same in spite of the altered geographic, temporal and cultural context. Its original purpose has also persisted: for the last three generations of Croatian emigrants the "Salonsko Kolo" has facilitated confirmation and presentation of national identity, particularly important during periods of political unrest in the homeland of their ancestors and in situations in which the community has used their cultural legacy in order to distinguish and confirm their own values in a multinational social environment.
