Sažetak
The interpretative focus of this contribution is on the antemurale Christianitatis myth, which is one of the most durable historical mith-symbol complexes typical for the heterotopic cultures of the European periphery. Its first part highlights the epistemological status and imago-generative quality of historical myths within the theoretical framework of historical imagology. In the second part, the analysis focusses on the multiple uses, functions and meanings of this antemurale Christianitatis myth within Croatian culture over a long historical period. Special attention is paid to detecting how it simultaneously functions both as a rich repository of auto- and hetero-images as indispensable means for symbolic construction of collective identities and as a vital part of Croatian social imagery and cultural memory. Together with its structural and functional features, the modalities of intertextual, interdiscursive and intermedial circulation of antemurale Christianitatis myth are also examined. In this way, light is shed on the extraodrinarily high ideological and political potential of the antemurale Christianitatis myth which could be reactivated at any time, for example as a consequence of migration pressures on the Balkan route.
