Sažetak
The paper analyzes idea of nation of Antun Gustav Matoš (1873 – 1914),
i.e. constitutive elements which form its foundations. Starting from the
presupposition that nation is not an arbitrary political construction of
one time but a product of historical evolution of a number of cohesive
identification factors of a certain group of people, we are trying to sort out
its formula in Croatian frameworks. Basic components of Matoš’s idea
of nation are coherent with Middle-European principle of nations’ development,
so we analyze his thoughts about language, territory, historical
experience, myths and symbols characteristic for people with common
ethnic origin. In accordance to the thesis that a nation wants to be politically
accomplished in a state, special attention is given to the same political
and economic activity which reveals significance of willing element in
building and being a part of a nation. Matoš’s idea of nation is revealed
as a coherent, dynamic and intercultural ideal which rejects exclusiveness
of the nationalist discourse and therefore it shows its actuality and
usefulness.
