The First Croatian Scientific Journal as a Site of Production and Circulation of Knowledge

The first Croatian scientific journal Arkiv za povjestnicu jugoslavensku (Archives of South Slavic History) (1851-1875) will be analysed according to Philipp Sarasin’s concept of the history of knowledge and the analytical concept of circulation of knowledge (A. Kilcher and P. Sarasin), promoted and employed by the research group at Lund University in Sweden. As proposed by Sarasin, the history of knowledge should examine societal production and the circulation of knowledge. This paper will situate the scope of the first Croatian scientific journal within the mid-19th century political context of the Habsburg Monarchy and Croatia. The foundation of the journal will be examined in the context of the development of other scientific journals in 19th century Europe. The paper will investigate different types and forms of knowledge from the various humanities and the way in which they were produced and presented in the journal. It will examine the circulation of knowledge produced in the journal based primarily on the members of the Society for South Slavic History who accounted for most of the journal’s readers and some of its contributors. Finally, the research will evaluate impact of the journal on Croatian society in the latter half of the 19th century and demonstrate the vital role it played in shaping the Croatian historical sciences in the 19th century.
