The complexity of this problem is more often related to political, ideological and other reasons than to the actual situation on the ground. The following works can serve as a theoretical basis: Edward W. Said\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Orientalism<\/em>, Marija Todorova\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Imagining the Balkans<\/em>&nbsp;and Nina Raspudi\u0107\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Jadranski (polu)orijentalizam,&nbsp;<\/em>eng.&nbsp;<em>Adriatic<\/em>&nbsp;<em>(Semi)Orientalisms<\/em>. The use of the terms (\u201cSlavi\u201d and \u201cTalijana\u0161i\u201d) in the period when the modern Italian, Croatian and Slovenian nations had already been formed was aimed at justifying Italian conquests of the eastern Adriatic in the first case and denying the existence of the Italian nation in the second case. The term \u201cSlavi\u201d denotes a semi-barbarian, politically and nationally amorphous mass that should be ruled by a \u201chigher\u201d Latin, i.e. Italian culture. The term \u201cTalijana\u0161i\u201d was intended to show that there was no autochthonous Italian national community on the eastern coast of the Adriatic. In the Croatian and Slovenian cases, the term \u201cTalijana\u0161i\u201d was abandoned at the end of the 20th century. It was only at the beginning of the 21st century that the Croatian and Slovenian names for the nations from the eastern coast of the Adriatic began to be used more widely within Italian historiography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-ugradnja wp-block-embed-ugradnja\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"lrSHhDmYU8\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.balkan-history.com\/archives\/4918\">BHA Webinar &#8220;The symbolism of signifiers in historiography and publicist writings: the use of the terms &#8216;Slavi&#8217; and &#8216;Talijana\u0161i&#8217; in the Italian and Croatian examples&#8221;<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;BHA Webinar &#8220;The symbolism of signifiers in historiography and publicist writings: the use of the terms &#8216;Slavi&#8217; and &#8216;Talijana\u0161i&#8217; in the Italian and Croatian examples&#8221;&#8221; &#8212; \" src=\"https:\/\/www.balkan-history.com\/archives\/4918\/embed#?secret=Mg8qtQQV3k#?secret=lrSHhDmYU8\" data-secret=\"lrSHhDmYU8\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":47077,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54007","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novosti"],"acf":{"facebook_opis":""},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/historiografija.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BHA-Webinar-Series.png?fit=820%2C312&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":52580,"url":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/?p=52580","url_meta":{"origin":54007,"position":0},"title":"Conference &#8220;Living in the aftermaths: Trauma, politics and survival in Yugoslavia and successor states, 1945 \u2013 present&#8221;","author":"Branimir Jankovi\u0107","date":"21. travnja 2026.","format":false,"excerpt":"The conference aims to explore how war-related psychological distress was experienced, narrated, debated and reframed in Yugoslavia in the second half of the twentieth century.
