Sažetak
A city as a structure woven out of historical, spatial, socioeconomic, and cultural elements constructs its own identity through their constant intertwining. With the passage of time these elements, independent from and depending on each other, are created and recreated, defined, and redefined time and time again, writing history into daily life while building and shaping a city as a space with a recognizable identity. This identity is formed in the interim space between stability and instability seeking support from institutional politics which most often connects the creation of identity with an activity putting its elements into its function together with individual achievements usually created with no strategic intention, and which with the sheer force of their own spirit, create works that shape the identity of urban space and build in their own structures into what makes a city what it is. A city’s identity is created as a fine fabric of personal and collective memory. It is evidence of the existence and the essence of a city. A special place is dedicated to cultural identity, spiritual and material cultural heritage as well as contemporary cultural forms. The Mediterranean spirit of Split is especially recognizable in this area, and this paper focuses on some of its elements: literature as the metonymic area of personal, cultural and mediated memory, the space of reminiscence and oblivion, the space of escape and return, the space of nostalgia, citations and stories, the space that writes the story of the city while at the same time is written by it. Through film, it will be researched to what extent the pioneers of Croatian film, a strong cinema club scene, influential film authors and their opuses, legendary TV series, impressive feature, documentary and experimental films have remained in the collective consciousness of the city of Split and how much they have developed part of its recognizable spirit. Additionally, the paper will focus on researching if there are contemporary representatives of Split’s film identity, who they are, and how big their influence is ; and finally, it will look at design with the focus on researching the role of visual communications, urban equipment, institutional and noninstitutional design in the creation of the city’s identity.
