Sažetak
The paper analyses metatextual procedures in the occasional poetry of Slavonian writers in the first decades of the 19th century. The analysis is based on the thesis that occasional poems are not exhausted in their pragmatic functionalizations, but that metatextuality represented a form of discursive (self)definition and (self)regulation of literature. Metatextual considerations on the status of literature, creative potential, poetic inspiration, and cultural patronage drew attention to the poetic text as a linguistic artifact and to its potential aesthetic values. Along with the affirmation of Slavonian literary and cultural particularities, occasional poems also promoted the idea of Slavonian regional identity as one of the components of Croatian (Illyrian) linguistic and cultural identity. In this way, Slavonian occasional poetry of the first decades of the 19th century played a role in encouraging the process of nationalization and autonomization of Croatian literature.
