48. „We were neither Croatians, nor Illyrians nor Slavs, but imperial royal frontiermen“. On the Phenomenon of the Border in August Šenoa and Miroslav Krleža.

Starting from the thesis that, apart from their capacity for description, literary texts also show the potential to construe reality, this contribution focuses on selected narrative, essayistic and poetological texts by canonical authors such as August Šenoa and Miroslav Krleža. In so doing, the article focuses on the demonstration and literary representation of border phenomena in Austria-Hungary (Šenoa) and their gradual change in the post-imperial age after the Great War (Krleža). Calling into question the imperial narrative on the Military Frontier, image of the Ottomans in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and connected national and homogenizing discourses infused by processes of othering, the article analyzes changes in the understanding of the border as well as their ideological implications, with special regard to the thesis that borders are construed as an impossible feat of separating the self from the Other.
