„Images of America from the Austro-Hungarian Periphery. The Example of Croatian Travel Narratives of the United States.“

Given the huge impact of emigration from the Croatian lands in Austria-Hungary at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the article looks at the two prime examples of the textual engagement with the new spatio-cultural phenomenon of "America" (the United States) to which many people from Dalmatia, one of the most backward provinces of the Empire, gravitated at the time. The text further considers strategies of representation and self-construction that the narrators (Ante Tresić Pavičić and Vlaho Bukovac) use in the accounts of their travels in and experiences of the United States creating a palimpsestic narrative in the space between the center and the periphery in an arising global constellation.
