Sažetak
The paper deals with diversity of influences of press technology on overall context of change which made possible the creation and spreading of nationalism. The press was one of the key mechanisms for the spreading of ideas of national independence during the American revolution at the end of the 18th c. and it significantly influenced the surge of national languages into the sphere of public communication in Europe, where such development occurred parallel with the foundation of modern state and differentiation of individual vernaculars. The press played an important role in a number of social changes that marked modern age, with the first successes of reformation, processes of individualization and democratization, and together with conceptual changes such as the linear understanding of time, as well as the possibility to perceive communities larger than those in which direct face-to-face communication may be achieved. Typography as a technology enables mass communication. Because of its specific character, it serves the concentrations of power which then, constrictively and constructively, influence the production of discourse that reproduces nationalistic tendencies.
