Dukić, The Turks picture in Croatian literary culture until18th Century
I. regionality
The adjective " Croatian" in the title of this essay is in a sense an anachronis , !ecause theCroatian nation is only in the course of the second half 1th Century !uilt , and only at that
tie is the narrative a!out the #istory of the Croats constructed $hich of iigration to the
%driatic &ea , a!out the " glorious " tie of the edieval state and the " &ad story " of
political fragentation in the early odern period to conteporary national " re!irth " is
sufficient . In the 18th century is the area of today's Croatian state !y the !orders of the forer
(uropean and %sian great po$ers carved up ) %t this tie there are Istria and Dalatia in the
(astern %driatic part of the *enetian +epu!lic up to its deise in 1-- / Du!rovnik is a
relatively since the 10th century autonoous, tri!utary political unit $ithin the ttoan
(pire/ &lavonia has !een the #a!s!urg recon2uest at the end of 1-th century and after a!out
1-3 years of ttoan rule in the #a!s!urg 4onarchy incorporated , $here the so5called
6anal Croatia iethat part of the Croatian half des7ngarisch 5 Croatian onarchy , that of $as not con2uered
the ttoans is since 19-th.
The dialects as $ell as the literary language and literary cultures of the &lav :opulation in this
area have different and relatively autonoous developed , so that one of the later ethnocentric
standpoint this literary situation as referred to regionalis . In the early odern period , d .
# . in the 18th century , one can distinguish four Croat regional literatures )
1. The ost developed Du!rovnik literature in the literary ;tokavski <anguage, $ith
respecta!le +enaissance and 6aro2ue poets eg D=ore Dr=ic' , &isko 4encetic' , 4avro
*etranovic' , >ikola >aljeskovic' , 4arin Dr=ic' , Dinko +anjina , Doinko ?lataric' , Ivan

3. The eisting since the last third of the 10th century kajka$ische <iterature fro the

her deise in the id5 1th century it is ainly through translations of coedies and novels
fro the @eran literature as it $ere oderni=ed .

6asically, the Turks picture is the ost a!undant of tourist iage Croatian literary culture
throughout the early odern period, naely ainly in the function of the iage of the eney.
In the 18th century can !e #o$ever, notice that the interest in the topic Turks copared to the
t$o previous centuries has fallen. :ossi!le reasons ay !e the decline of ttoan po$er after

III . Who are the Turks in Croatian literature of the 18th Century ?
The ter "Turk" has in the Croatian literature of the 18th century t$o eanings )
1 &oldier of the ttoan ary . In this eaning, the $ord coes into epics a!out the $ars
against the ttoans !efore .

regionali=ed , restricted eaning the ter "Turk" in the ajor canonical $orks of the forer
Croatian literature %. Bacic' 4iosic' , 4% +elkovic' , . @ra!ovac used .
6asically, the interest is for the Turks in the Croatian literary Culture of the 18th century in a
sense !ecoe provincial. The interest applies only to the great conteporary $ar events, the
peranent Christian54usli !order skirishes and in a very liited &cope and $ith an
already stereotyped content of history Turks and the ttoan (pire. In this period, there is
siply no Gorks, neither in Croatian nor in the <atin language, the interest for the ttoan
culture per se or for the heartland of the ttoan &ho$ epire, as in the t$o preceding
centuries, for eaple, at <udovik Crijevic' Tu!eron Coentarii de tepori!us suis,

lot of space after 1E33, there are ostly notes a!out change of rulers and soeties very
etensive descriptions auchu the ttoan5Christian $ars, $hich in principle as a
su!stantive conditional genre eature ust !e interpreted. In the t$o additions Gork in the
18th century you can still find less inforation !ecause the Teresian $ars or the Central and
Gestern (uropean political events Turks have the thee even further displaced. The $ork

IV . Stereotypes about Turks
%n analysis of the literary representation of a collective entity a :eople, nation Is the ain
task of the literary iagology. The Interpretation of the results of such an analysis is alost
inevita!ly a narrativisierte +e F construction typical iages F ideas, in the synchronous and
diachronic aspects, internal differences $ithin a single literature, genre5related, content andfunctional characteristics undJglichst coparisons are taken into account $ith other
relevant individual literatures sollten. In the Croatian early odern iaginaries or in availa!le
Tet aterial, soe stereotypes a!out Turks have developed, the ediu5 to other &outheast
(uropean and early odern Christian Cultures are characteristic. Turks F ttoans are
priarily as a con2ueror, aith eneies and perpetrators of violence sho$n. These three
negative reason Ideas are often linked narratively) % description of the ttoan Con2uest of
the Christian state is often like a catalog of acts of violence constructed, $ith a sy!olic
se2uence, the lighter of the " secular "violence to the ore severe cries against the Christian
<eads faith)
)opis paljenja i uništavanja) aruli!" olit#a suproti#a Turko$
&uch eaples are for the first period of the Christian5 ttoan conflicts in the 1th and 10th
centuries, characteristic , especially for the <atin anti5Turkish speeches and epistles or for the
Croatian political ccasional poetry 4. 4arulic' , 4. *etranovic' and soe anonyous
%uthors . In later centuries , as the golden age of the ttoan Con2uests is long gone , this
cople of ideas reains logically as a coponent of the ideological , identity foring "
culture of ree!rance and politics of eory " , especially for the popular historiography
characteristic.
The three concepts entioned can !ut under a specific also assue positive connotations

The Christian "frKhturkologischen" Griters $ho is interested in the ttoan culture itself
$ho often have the organi=ation of the Turkish ary courage, ilitancy and asceticis of the
Turkish soldiers as $ell as the hierarchical and praised a 7ntertLnigkeitsgeist e!ossed
structure of the ttoan state =. 6. <udovik Crijevic' Tu!eron and 6artol Hurevic'. The
other, positive evaluative side of faith eney stereotype is the idea of the @od5fearing
4uslis $ho can serve as a odel for the Christians even $ith <. Crijevic' Tu!eron and 6.

T$o good canonical eaples fro the Croatian early odern literary Culture 4arko
4arulic' for the first and %ndrija Bacic' 4iosic' for the second stereotype. The Turks aretherefore not at %ndrija Bacic' 4iosic' just as faith eney attackers, !ut also as !rave, highly

courageous soldiers sho$n. 6ehind a valued positively such +epresentation is the patriarchal
value syste of !order guards at the Dalatian ttoan5*enetian !order, after the
unnecessary Duels egdani as a sport and the predatory raids on the other state territory as
soething noral, everyday, even during the official peace period $ere considered. The last
poe in. Bacic's 6ook +a=govor ugodni $as even dedicated eclusively to 6osnian hero,
aong $hich include the 4usli !order guards. Mour &lavic rigin and language, or their conversion to Isla $as ephasi=ed.
In the Croatian literary culture of the 18th century $e find again a relatively unifor, !ut
copared to the 1th and 10th centuries su!stantially altered cople of ideas a!out Turks.
This notion change can !e eplained !y the change in the political situation. (ven the
conteporary Croatian $riters consider the unsuccessful second Turkish siege of *ienna in
108E and the su!se2uent <eopoldinische +econ2uest of southern #ungary as a turning point
of the ttoan :o$er in (urope =. 6. @ra!ovac and Bacic'. The old, previously only
sporadically epressed hope for an early deise of the ttoan po$er, ie for eaple, on the
epulsion of the Turks fro (urope after the !attle of <epanto in 1-1 and after the Aanissary
re!ellion in 1099, is to since 108E an anti5Turkish stereotype =. 6. in A. Brpotic'. &aid
soe$hat siplified, has the Christian sense of inferiority into a feeling of superiority turnedagainst the Turks. In the literature on the Turkish $ar 1-885 1-9 reaches its clia this. In
the forer partly for propaganda intoned, poetic $orks that the +ussian and #a!s!urg Depict
victories over the ttoan ary, one often finds the otif of :ity for the defeated Turks,
especially $ith the affected civilian population A. Brpotic', 6. 6osnjak, A. 4alevac. eric'.
%lthough the said otif in the older Croatian literature, in the defeats of Turks can !e sho$n,
see, it is only $ith its fre2uency in late 18th century to a stereotype. This can !e eplained in
three $ays)
firstly as a reflection the real political situation and perhaps of conteporary artial la$N,
secondly, as an epression of the ne$ sensi!ility and
thirdly, as a strategy of indirect &el!stlo!s. In each
6ut the case is this stereotype a "shock a!sor!er" for the !lack and $hite aiology. The sae
is true for the figure of the "old $ays") % $ise, elderly Turk advises his younger fello$s in
vain to avoid the fight $ith Christians. These stereotypical figure also appears in several early
odern Croatian $orks in $hich Turkish defeats or crises of the ttoan Gere discussed
(pire %. Bacic' 4iosic', %. Ivanosic'.
The ne$ characteristic of the 18th century sense of superiority against the Turks has a
negative judgental and only later , in 1th century doinant stereotype of Turkish cultural
inferiority concreti=ed . %n early eaple of this stereotype can !e found in 4atija %ntun
+elkovic's canonical $ork &atir iliti divji Covik . This &lavonian Griter and during the &even
Mears' Gar !et$een %ustria :russia 1-0 5 1-0E $as arrested in rankfurt an der der and
$ith the @eran (nlightenent achieveents in education , agriculture and #ousekeepinghas failiari=ed critici=ed in his $ork , as spokesan for the theresianisch 5 Aoseph's
oderni=ation , the forer &lavonian society .
(verything he perceives as conservative, priitive and econoically daaging, he referred to
the etaphorical epression "Turske skule" literally "Turkish schools"/ actually, "Turkish
custos", $hich the +eains of the ttoan everyday culture in &lavonia and the forer
6osnian 4usli culture are eant. The sae stereotype can also !e found in the epic $orks
of A. Brpotic', Batarine II i put u Criea and Aose II :jesa voevoda austrijanski i
rosijanski. In this essay only the ain stereotypes a!out Turks $ere short descri!ed. or
copleteness, one can add that in the Croatian literary culture of the 18th century a fe$ ore

The Turks picture in Croatian literature of the 18th century can !e descri!ed as a phase in the
history of the Turks iage, fro 1th to 1th century enough to understand . Its ain features
are)
