Abstract

U ovom radu za čiju je svrhu provedeno terensko istraživanje u Santiago de Chileu, istraženo je djelovanje kulturnih udruženja i književne djelatnosti zajednice potomaka hrvatskih iseljenika u Čileu. Unatoč brzoj asimilaciji u čileansko društvo i posljedičnom gubitku hrvatskog jezika, ustanovljeno je kako hrvatska kulturna društva u glavnom gradu Čilea dijele snažan osjećaj vezanosti za zemlju predaka. Kulturni identitet ovih zajednica konstruira se putem bogate kulturne djelatnosti ovih udruženja. Posebno smo se osvrnuli na suvremenu književnu djelatnost koja se ističe kao osobito plodno istraživačko polje s obzirom na velik broj čileanskih književnika hrvatskog porijekla. Osim svjetski poznatih književnika Antonija Skármete ili Ramóna Díaza Eterovića, u Čileu su istaknuta imena i ostalih čilo-hrvatskih književnika poput Juana Mihovilovicha Hernándeza, Eugenija Mimice Barassija, Astrid Fugellie Gezan, Guillerma Mimice, Patricije Štambuk, Óscara Barrientosa Bradašića, Christiana Formosa Bavicha ili Nikija Kuščevića Ramíreza. Zajednička značajka ovih književnika je nostalgija i ljubav prema pradomovina koje su česti motivi u njihovim djelima. Ova skupina je osim u hrvatskoj književnoj bibliografiji, poznata i u Čileu, ali i u svjetskoj književnoj historiografiji pod nazivom čileanskohrvatski pisci, odnosno „hrvatski doprinos čileanskoj književnosti“, što nam otvara velik prostor za pitanja kanona književnosti izvan domovine.

Abstract (english)

In this paper, for the purpose of which a field research was conducted in Santiago de Chile, were investigated the activities of cultural associations and literary activities of communities of descendants of Croatian emigrant in Chile. Despite the rapid assimilation into Chilean society and the consequent loss of the Croatian language, it has been established that Croatian cultural societies in the Chilean capital have a strong sense of attachment to their ancestral land. The cultural identity is constructed through the rich cultural activities of these associations. We paid special attention to contemporary literary activity, which stands out as a particularly fruitful research field given the large number of Chilean writers of Croatian origin. In addition to the world-famous writers Antonio Skármeta or Ramón Díaz Eterović, the names of other Chilean-Croatian writers such as Juan Mihovilovich Hernández, Eugenio Mimica Barassi, Astrid Fugellie Gezan, Guillermo Mimica, Patricia Štambuk, Óscar Barrientos Brašica, Cristian Formoso Bavich or Niki Kuščević Ramírez. A common feature of these writers is nostalgia and love for their homeland, which are also frequent motifs in their works. Apart from the Croatian literary bibliography, this group is also known in Chile and in world literary historiography under the name of Chilean-Croatian writers or "Croatian contribution to Chilean literature", which opens a large space for questions of the canon of literature abroad.

Abstract (spanish)

En este trabajo, para el que se realizó una investigación de campo en Santiago de Chile, se investigaron las actividades de asociaciones culturales y actividades literarias de comunidades de descendientes de emigrantes croatas en Chile. A pesar de la rápida asimilación a la sociedad chilena y la consecuente pérdida del idioma croata, se ha establecido que las sociedades culturales croatas en la capital chilena tienen un fuerte sentido de pertenencia a la tierra de sus antepasados. Por lo tanto, la identidad cultural se construye a través de las numerosas actividades culturales de la comunidad croata en Chile. Prestamos especial atención a la actividad literaria contemporánea de los descendientes croatas, que se destaca como un campo de investigación particularmente fructífero dado el gran número de escritores chilenos de origen croata. Además de los escritores mundialmente conocidos como Antonio Skármeta o Ramón Díaz Eterović, hay otros escritores chileno-croatas conocidos como Juan Mihovilovich Hernández, Eugenio Mimica Barassi, Astrid Fugellie Gezan, Guillermo Mimica, Patricia Štambuk, Óscar Barrientos Bradašić, Cristian Formoso Bavich o Niki Kuščević Ramírez. Un rasgo común de estos escritores es la nostalgia y el amor por su tierra natal, que también son motivos frecuentes en sus obras. Además de la bibliografía literaria croata, este grupo también es conocido en Chile, e incluso en la historiografía literaria mundial bajo la denominación de los escritores chileno-croatas, o más bien "aporte croata a la literatura chilena", lo que abre un gran espacio a las cuestiones del canon de la literatura en el exterior.
