Transnational Approaches and fin de siècle Modernisms: The Case of the Croatian Modernist Movement

In recent decades, numerous historical approaches have been proposed and advocated with the aim of surpassing the narrow national perspective in history-writing. They are most often subsumed under the name of ‘transnational approaches’. Epistemologically, they are grounded in such concepts as ‘entanglement’, ‘intercrossing’, ‘métissage’ etc. In this paper, the development and the basic epistemological premises of transnational approaches are first briefly examined with regard to the double imperative of reflexivity and surpassing methodological nationalism in historical research. In the second part, some key elements of transnational approaches, especially cultural transfer and exchange study, are shown on the example of research of the fin de siècle Croatian modernist movement, i.e., the Mladi movement as a case study. Finally, some thoughts are put forth regarding the possibilities of transnational research of fin de siècle modernisms and modern movements in general.
