The article is dedicated to one of the most serious incidents between the Venetian and Ragusan Republics: the armed conflict between the Venetian galleys and Ragusan armed ship and fortresses in ...front of Ragusa on 28 July 1630. The first part of the article offers a comprehensive reconstruction of the event itself, represented in very different ways in the Venetian and Ragusan documents. The
second part addresses the immediate aftermath of the event, that is, the reactions of the Venetian and Ragusan governments and various diplomatic initiatives that followed. Finally, the third part investigates the significance and long-term consequences of this incident, questioning the established interpretation according to which it was the beginning of the so-called “Lokrum crisis”, a prolonged diplomatic conflict between Venice and Ragusa. The article is largely based on the hitherto unknown documents from the Venetian archive, which not only bring a wealth of new data, but also reveal a serious methodological issue inherent in relying exclusively on Ragusan documents when reconstructing the diplomatic history of the small state. The appendix of the article is the transcription of the report regarding the incident, written by the commander of Venetian forces, Giovanni Battista Grimani.
Članak se bavi jednim od najozbiljnijih incidenata između Mletačke i Dubrovačke Republike: sukobom mletačkih galija s dubrovačkim naoružanim brodom i tvrđavama ispred grada 28. srpnja 1630. Prvi dio ...teksta posvećen je detaljnoj rekonstrukciji samog događaja jer ga mletački i dubrovački dokumenti prikazuju na vrlo različite načine. Drugi dio bavi se razdobljem neposredno nakon incidenta, odnosno reakcijama dubrovačke i mletačke vlasti te diplomatskim inicijativama kojima je rezultirao. Konačno, treći dio teksta ispituje značenje i posljedice ovog sukoba, propitujući uvriježenu interpretaciju koja ga vidi kao početak tzv. lokrumske krize. Članak se oslanja na opsežni korpus dosad nepoznatih mletačkih dokumenata koji ne samo da donose niz novih podataka, nego također ukazuju na ozbiljan metodološki problem pri oslanjanju isključivo na dubrovačke diplomatske izvore. Na kraju teksta u cijelosti je objavljen dosad nepoznat izvještaj o incidentu, koji je napisao zapovjednik mletačkih snaga Giovanni Battista Grimani.
Cilj članka je ispitati način na koji su predmoderni Dubrovčani razumjeli odnos svog političkog identiteta, tj. pripadnosti gradu-državi, i svog etničkog identiteta, tj. pripadnosti zajednicama poput ...“Ilira”, “Slovinaca”, “Dalmatinaca” ili “Hrvata.” Prvi dio teksta upozorava na dva temeljna načina na koje su Dubrovčani razlikovali ove “zamišljene zajednice”, a to su drugačiji kriteriji pripadnosti svakoj od njih, te različite normativne implikacije ovih kolektiviteta. Drugi i zaključni dio teksta posvećen je međuodnosu političke i etničke pripadnosti, pokazujući da su te dvije vrste identiteta funkcionirale komplementarno i bez konfl ikta.
This article investigates the ways in which premodern Ragusans understood the relationship between two types of collective identity: their civic identity, the belonging to the community of the ...Ragusan city-state, and their ethnic identity, the belonging to different culturally defined communities such as “Illyrians”, “Slavs”, “Croats” or “Dalmatians”. The first part of the text explores how the premodern Ragusans differentiated between these two types of “imagined community”. They were distinguished in two main ways. First, different criteria were applied to determine membership in them, and therefore these two communities were seen as encompassing different, albeit overlapping populations. Second, their normative implications were profoundly different, i.e. the duties of their members and their right to political autonomy were conceptualized in a profoundly different manner. The second part of the text addresses the mutual relationship of civic and ethnic identity, stressing that they were not competing or in conflict, but functioned as complementary to each other. Moreover, the discourse on ethnic identity often served the purposes of the more powerful discourse on civic identity.
The European Tributary States is the first attempt to give a comprehensive overview of the similarities and differences in the Ottoman Empire's relationship to Moldavia, Wallachia, Transylvania, ...Ragusa, the Crimean Khanate as well as the Cossack Hetmanate.
The goal of this study is to reconstruct the images that the Republics of Venice and Ragusa created of each other during the early modern period.By using rich historiographical, literary, and ...diplomatic material, it investigates the mutual stereotyping of these two Adriatic cities between the late fifteenth and mid-seventeenth century.
