Sažetak
Map analysis of the early modern Croatian borderlands reveal two levels of meaning. The first one is related to the specific relation of the state authorities to the border region, their particular interests and understanding of its importance. The other one reveals common socio-cultural images of the borderlands by characterization and differentiation of social groups, related systems of beliefs, as well as environmental perceptions of the borderlands as depopulated and devastated area and the prevailing understanding of the „real“ Croatian territory as opposed to the new (actual) delimitation. There are three expressive socio-cultural images of the Croatian borderlands and a number of relationships that are expressed here: the old and the new border as the real, the historical border opposed to the new (temporary?) border ; the difference in the system of beliefs – Christian Croatia opposed to Moslem Croatia. The image of the territory of Tukish Croatia, therefore, includes an awareness of religious identity and distinction as well.
