Capitalism beneath the Mythical Beginning: The ‘Discovery’ of America as a Topic of Twentieth- Century Croatian Literature

The paper analyzes motifs of the discovery of America in Croatian literature of the 20th century in the texts of Miroslav Krleža, Nedjeljko Fabrio, Luko Paljetak, Ivan Slamnig, Dubravka Oraić-Tolić, Slavko Mihalić, Tonko Maroević et al., giving a comparative and historical review of its articulation in world literature. Paper methodically combines the literary-historical perspective with the imagology and especially the economic analysis of literary images, showing that the motif of the discovery of America in the 20th century Croatian literature was inextricably linked with the 20th Century imagination of the United States as a bastion of financial capitalism.
