Sažetak
The idea of modern Croatia, and therefore its recent history is linked in the first place with the tradition of its printed media, newspapers and magazines. In the continuity of less than 175 years the image of a modern Croatian nation has been constructed and therewith collective knowledge and the conscience of its political and cultural history. In that continuity there are oscillations that are as a rule in conformity with the social and political disruptions, where the mentioned media – regardless of the type and profile – shows its primarily social character. One of such disruptions had been the Second World War and the revolution that had altered the up to then type and structure of Croatian culture, among others. After the initial search for new positions at the end of the Forties and in the Fifties, the process of new institutionalization of Croatian culture – regardless of the strictly controlled conditions – received a new impetus that resulted in the Sixties with, among other things, a tremendous increase of new magazines coming out in all Croatian regions and on all levels. It was a new triumph for printed media that had its peak after the early Seventies, due to the arrival of new media along with growing competition, but also as a type of new social subversion (Hrvatsko proljeće / Croatian Spring Movement). Magazine KAJ was established in this context in 1968 and has been published to date, and with its relatively sound structure reflects, regulates and initiates many elements of national culture in the changing phases of various social and political and cultural paradigms. The goal of this paper is to point to the basic characteristics of such phases/changes by analyzing KAJ and to once again show, that no other media is just a mere passive information carrier, and this includes the magazine media as well, but a productive, interactive factor of social reality.
