Abstract

Ovaj rad istražuje percepciju Hrvatske kao zemlje Balkana iz perspektive stranih studenata i studentica na razmjeni. Istraživanje se temelji na konstituiranju identiteta balkanske regije koja se shvaća kao odrednica hrvatskog nacionalnog prostora. Spomenuta povezanost upućuje na značenjske borbe u koje su uključeni i studenti i studentice na razmjeni. Kroz pojmove orijentalizma, koji implicitno nagovještava i pojmove balkanizma, te okcidentalizma, istražuje se način uspostavljanja odnosa moći na području Europe. Intervjuirani studenti i studentice, iako često nesvjesno, unatoč susretu sa novom okolinom perpetuiraju već postojeće predrasude o Balkanu, ne dovodeći u pitanje hegemonijske odnose. Kroz stalne borbe oko značenja pokušava se uspostaviti identitet Balkana kao regije i Hrvatske kao zemlje između Balkana i Europe.

Abstract (english)

This paper explores the perception of Croatia as a country of the Balkans from the perspective of foreign exchange students. The research is based on the constitution of the identity of the Balkan region, which is understood as a determinant of Croatian national space. The mentioned linkage refers to struggles over meanings in which exchange students are involved. Through the notions of Orientalism, which implies the notions of Balkanism and Occidentalism, establishing a relationship of power in Europe is explored. Interviewed students, albeit often unconsciously, and despite encountering new environment, perpetuate existing prejudices about the Balkans, without questioning the hegemonic relationships. Through the constant struggle over meaning, the identity of the Balkans as a region and Croatia as a country between the Balkans and Europe is being established.
