Sažetak
Based on ethnographic insights into life in a small island town community and its specific historical context, this paper aims to discuss connections between islandity and urbanity. Vis is situated on the furthest Croatian island in the Adriatic sea, also called Vis. It has special historical and cultural significance and, as a result, the status of being a town despite only having 1700 inhabitants. The specific historical circumstances of socialism in the second half of the 20th century meant that the whole island was a Yugoslav army base, which influenced life in this island town, ‘islanding’ it on many different levels. Closed to any foreign visitors for five decades, the community of Vis is just recently developing international tourism and (re)interpreting its identity with the aim of such development. Narrations on the island’s contemporary and past urban experiences led to the mapping of island life in connection with specific historical events and geographical surroundings. They reaffirmed the anthropological understanding of a town as a process and recalled the importance of focusing on the relationship that individuals have with town life.
