Neo-Romantic concepts of imagination in Croatian National Revival writings and in Croatian War of Independence poetry
Abstract
The paper attempts to shed light on the concept of imagination and its formative
role in imagining collective identities such as gender, religion or nation in
literary, journalistic and programmatical texts written by Croatian revivers, as
well as in the poetry of the Croatian War of Independence. Here, the concept of
imagination is conceived as a field criss-crossed by contradictions selectively
used by the revivers and contemporary Croatian poets in the 1990's, in order
to achieve certain political goals. According to need, they use it to reconcile
resemblances with differences, general with particular or else for the purpose
of generating hegemonistic symbols or organic unity of culture/nation, they
erase divisions, ignoring and abolishing othernesses.
