Sažetak
The subject of this paper is the negotiation of national and linguistic identity among Italian-speaking Croats in Austro-Hungarian Pula, based on discourse analysis of newspaper texts from the period. As the main port of the Austro-Hungarian navy, Pula (now in Croatia) became a culturally very mixed city, with the dominant groups being Italian, German and Slavic (Croats, Czechs, Slovenes etc.). The political situation was very complex: national awareness and political activity in the Italian and Slavic groups steadily grew, which led to frequent conflicts and presented a threat to political stability and to the authority of the central imperial power in the city. A Croatian-speaking bourgeoisie and intelligentsia was only gradually developing and the proponents of the national movement sought to win over to their cause people of Croatian ethnic origin who had adopted the traditionally prestigious Italian language and culture and spoke no or very little Croatian. The paper will attempt to analyse how this Croatian-Italian cultural ambiguity was discursively negotiated in multilingual and Italian-language newspapers which advocated the Croatian national movement.
