Riječki i osječki glazbenici: komparativna studija urbane toponimije u lokalnom, regionalnom, nacionalnom i europskom kontekstu

Urban toponymy analysis in no longer related only to linguistics or geography, but also to various studies in social sciences and humanities. It can be an efficient research method in measuring social and cultural tendencies of a certain area. It is the author’s opinion that it can be a very successful research method in musicology, as well. Osijek and Rijeka are both among bigger cities in Croatia and are considered centres of their respective regions. Both cities have important geopolitical position, that put Rijeka into the Mediterranean cultural milieu, and Osijek into the Central-European cultural milieu. Since urban toponyms reflect social and cultural tendencies of cities, this paper aims at examining the differences in everyday city life by comparing the selected urban toponyms (e.g. street names of famous musicians) in Rijeka and Osijek. The research will include a quantitative and a qualitative analyses, by categorizing the number of urban toponyms named after renowned local, regional, national and European musicians in both cities, in order to establish to what extent the two cities consider themselves a part of European, national, regional or local cultural milieu. A particular attention will be paid to the question of whether there is a visible liaison between the Mediterranean (Rijeka) or Central European (Osijek) cultural circle. Considering that Rijeka and Osijek are similar urban entities, we anticipate that the liaison between the Mediterranean (Rijeka) and Central-European (Osijek) cultural milieu, will be visible in urban toponyms named after the famous musicians. We also expect to find similar distribution of local, regional, national and European toponyms in the city toponymy.
