This article is based on Škreb’s concept of literature as inseparable from the social and historical context. This anthropological basis is used for the analysis of the crisis phenomenon centred on ...the family system in the novels Unterstadt by Ivana Šojat and Restoran Dalmacija by Jagoda Marinić. In addition to the study of thematic, compositional, and genre features of the selected novels, the aim of the comparative analysis is to see the way in which literature contextualizes crisis in contemporary discourse. By using the theoretical determinants of previous research on crisis, family, and memory archiving, the article explores and compares the causes and indicators of family crisis, as well as reactions to it, thus contextualizing literature. This requires an analysis beyond the classical structuralist analysis and broadens the horizon of the literary work, therefore,the article will use the postclassical or new narratology, which is, in addition to the closed world of the novel, also oriented on the context. For this reason, the approach to analysis is to a certain extent interdisciplinary since the study of crisis, generation, and memory in literature requires a sociological, cultural, literary, and historical approach to obtain the overall understanding and interpretation of a novel in a wider context. Previous research on these novels has not focused on the experience of crisis within the framework of the family system, therefore this article provides new perspectives on the contextual character of the family crisis in contemporary literature, on the direct relation of the family to other social phenomena, and a new perspective in the research of the contemporary generational novel as a hybrid genre form.
During the Early Modern Period, mainly in the time of the Veneto-Ottoman wars in the seventeenth and the eighteenth century, the backbone of Venetian Trans-Adriatic armed forces were units called ...Fanti oltramarini and Croatia cavallo, whose soldiers were recruited primarily from the Venetian acquisitions stretching from Istria to Albania and Greece. In this article, the central topic of research relates to the part the denizens of Split played in the aforementioned military units during the eighteenth century. The article is based on the analysis of sources kept in the Archivio di Stato di Venezia (archival series: Inquisitori sopra l’amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli), containing full lists of military complements of regiments and companies. Based on the extant data, personal data of the soldiers and their physical characteristics (age, stature, colour of hair) are analysed. Analysis of the documents shows that in quantitative sense the denizens of Split made one of the most numerous groups of Croatians within Venetian infantry and cavalry. The analysis also shows that the soldiers from Split served in the units mostly commanded by prominent military commanders, who were by their origin also coming from Dalmatia and Boka, and it is evident that those units (regiments and companies) were extremely mobile and collocated all around Venetian Italian and overseas acquisitions. In the end of the article, it is concluded that problematics of the part played by the Croats in Venetian military units, in this particular case of the denizens of Split, due to the rich sources at our disposal, still leaves enough space for future research and scholarly discussion. As an appendix to the article is given full list of hitherto discovered soldiers from Split in the infantry overseas units of the armed forces of Venetian Republic.

The present study deals with the question of the organization of the stonemasonry production of funerary monuments in the interior of the former Roman province of Dalmatia. The aim of the research ...was to identify a model of stonemasonry production that originated in a mountainous and difficult to traverse area, where the possibilities of water transport of stone material are minimal. The author started from the assumption that production centres formed in some geographical areas during Roman rule, using local limestone sources for their operation. The study includes funerary monuments discovered in present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina and in the western part of Serbia and Montenegro. By combining the methods of macroscopic petrographic analysis of the stone material and typological and spatial analysis, the existence of several production centres was proven. The results of the analyses indicate a very likely that they exploited the local limestone resources. Epigraphic data also made it possible to define their chronological aspect.
Historians often write in general about how a state or administration ‘implemented’ or ‘introduced’ reforms. Of course, an administration does make certain decisions but, in modern times, whole ...groups of officials are responsible for their realisation. This is the duty of the official apparatus. The success of a given reform is dependent not only on the theory prepared in the silence of the cabinet, but also on its implementation in practice. For this reason, it is important to understand who the officials were and what was their position in the Habsburg Monarchy, where the administration had been one of the most important lynchpins of the functioning of the state since the time of Maria Theresa and Joseph II. It was no different in Dalmatia, where, as we shall later see, every reform of the central authorities increased the number of sections and therefore the number of officials. Regardless, the topic of officials who worked in Dalmatia in the period of the second Austrian administration did not draw the appropriate attention of Yugoslav and Croatian historians until now.This paper analyses the development of the officialdom in Dalmatia during the ‘second Austrian government’, from 1814 to 1914, when World War I began. We wish to show how the civil administration changed from the perspective of the officials, who were responsible for the realisation of the administration’s policies. The officialdom had a great influence, and deserves to be given more attention in historiography.
Osobit fokus teksta reprezentativni su slavoluci podizani kao sastavni dijelovi urbane scenografije posjeta cara Franje Josipa I. Dalmaciji i Kvarneru 1875. godine, a koji se sagledavaju kao efemerni ...oblici graditeljske i arhitektonske prakse Europe u 19. stoljeću. Tema se dosad u povijesti umjetnosti nije obrađivala, pa se većina materijala donosi i interpretira prvi put. Temeljni izvori istraživanju sačuvani su fotografski materijali koji zorno dokumentiraju carske slavoluke, dnevnički i putopisni zapisi koji ih spominju i sažeto opisuju, odnosno arhivski materijali koji pojašnjavaju njihovu strukturu i materijale od kojih su sazdani. Nadalje, tekst razmatra i pojavu carevih spomenika, ponajprije njegovih poprsja u javnom prostoru koji su se mogli postaviti kao generički tvornički artikli (tvornica Gilardi–Bettiza u Splitu) ili umjetnička djela renomiranih autora (Ivan Rendić), ali ukazuje i na portretne biste koje se donose kao ilustrativni prilozi putopisnih zapisa. Djela koja se u tekstu promatraju uglavnom pripadaju drugoj polovini 19. stoljeća.
The paper focuses on the interrelation between epidemics and spatial mobility (migration) of people, along with the subsequent development of medical prevention regulations and actions in the ...Croatian historical territories, primarily during the Early Modern Period. Historical epidemics are viewed from the perspective of social history in terms of their great demographic and economic impacts, since the diseases acted as both causes and results of migrations. The research was based on various archival sources, primarily from the State Archives in Zadar and the Croatian State Archives, correlated with the research of secondary literature (desk-study analysis). While evaluating the different measures of control and medical prevention of diseases, mainly the plague, in Slavonia and Dalmatia, the authors searched for several answers. The focus was on the reactions of two different early modern administrative systems to epidemical hazards. As a consequence of state-implemented measures, the mobility patterns of people and goods were changed. Additionally, the research revealed that the development and upgrading of the overall health system in the Croatian lands was highly influenced by these early anti-epidemic measures. Two differently organised early modern systems of population and economy protection (Habsburg and Venetian) were examined as examples of possible state responses to the spread of epidemic diseases. One was based on secluded quarantine stations in Adriatic harbours, such as lazarettos or quarantine buildings in Dalmatia, while the other was organised as a quarantine medical and custom chain of checkpoints along the Slavonian-Bosnian border (the Sanitary Cordon). Despite the different concepts of these more or less elaborate systems of public health measures in the Venetian and Austrian territories – from informing, legal and sanitary regulations, to the introduction of quarantine for the sick and potentially infected people – both countries sought to prevent the spread of epidemic diseases, while at the same time trying to ensure the flow of people and goods with as little obstruction as possible.
Tijekom 19. stoljeća u Hrvatskoj se izmijenilo devetnaest banova i banskih namjesnika, većinom zabilježenih portretima. Budući da na njima nisu često prikazivani s državnim obilježjima te simbolima ...banske časti, rad donosi uvid u tri reprezentativna banska portreta iz vremena Ignjata Gyulaya, Josipa Jelačića i Ladislava Pejačevića. Isti svjedoče o političkom položaju Trojedne kraljevine Hrvatske, Dalmacije i Slavonije unutar Habsburške, a potom i Austro-Ugarske Monarhije te ulozi i ovlastima bana. Djela su istaknutih slikara i čuvaju se u fundusu Hrvatskog povijesnog muzeja u Zagrebu.
Forma i dekoracija spremnika za svetačke moći, njihov smještaj unutar crkve i kontekst njihova nalaza od iznimnog su značenja za razumijevanje običaja pohranjivanja i štovanja relikvija, kao i ...shvaćanje njihove simboličke uloge za uspostavu i organizaciju liturgijskog prostora. U ovoj ćemo kratkoj komparativnoj studiji stoga razmotriti ranokršćanske kamene relikvijare pronađene na području od Istre (Pula, Samager), preko Kvarnera (Rab, Cres), do srednje Dalmacije (Split, Brač), sagledavajući ih u kontekstu pozamašnog korpusa nama poznatih predmeta slične namjene pronađenih diljem kasnoantičkog svijeta, kako bismo neke od prepoznatih i problematiziranih praksi čuvanja i štovanja relikvija tijekom ranokršćanskog razdoblja predočili i protumačili na reprezentativnim primjerima pronađenim u istočnojadranskom priobalju.
U radu će se obraditi štovanje sv. Liberana u Južnoj Hrvatskoj/Dalmaciji s posebnim fokusom na dolinu Neretve kao centru liberanske pobožnosti u Hrvatskoj. Osvrnut ćemo se na svetčev specifičan ...patronat na ovom području koji je mnogo širi od bolesti bubrežnih kamenaca zbog kojih se vjernici obraćaju sv. Liberanu diljem svijeta. Kratko ćemo prikazati kako su epidemije kolere i španjolske gripe u neretvanskim mjestima označile početak liberanske pobožnosti u ovom kraju. U okvirima začetaka štovanja sv. Liberana također ćemo se osvrnuti i na veze hrvatskih župa s nadbiskupijom u Paderbornu te njezina uloga u širenju štovanja sv. Liberana u drugoj polovici 20. stoljeća.
The paper deals with the worship of St. Liborius (St. Liberan) with a focus on the Neretva Valley as a centre of the saint’s piety in Croatia. The saint’s specific patronage in this area is much wider than the kidney stones, which St. Liberan is famous for in the rest of the world. An insight into the birth registers will try to define the time of the cult’s origin in the Neretva parishes. Analysis will show that the endings of epidemics of cholera and Spanish flu marked the beginning of the expansion of St. Liborius’ worship in this area. The connections of Croatian parishes with the diocese of Paderborn and its role in spreading the worship of St. Liberan in the second half of the 20th century will be presented.
