Abstract

The authors who marked the Baroque literary production of Kotor, their poetic, aesthetic and noetic commitments formulated in accordance with global ideas of the times in which they arise on one, and according to the characteristics of the existential climate to which they belong, on the other side. It is not unusual that in such a cultural ambience in which to mix the expressiveness of a Croatian idiom and western influence, there is a conceptual plurality, which insists on the interaction between literary texts and culture and leads to interference of various semantic content, indicating a high degree of assimilation of different cultural values. This applies particularly to the traditional story of the Blessed Ozana, known as another protector's town of Kotor, besides St Tryphon. It represents an entire cultural reality, but also a kind of symbolic sublimation of the fundamental cultural values of the area of Boka Kotorska. The first poets from Kotor were astonished by Blessed Ozana of Kotor, which had already, for life, become a kind of ideological, cultural and literary phenomenon: the noblemen Ivan Bona / Boliris / (whose work Vita Della Beata Osanna to Cattaro was lost) and Vicko (Vicenzo) Bolica Kokoljic (The Life of Blessed Ozana). She has been an inspiration to numerous authors since the 16th and was mentioned in many historical sources and documents. Except in Boka and Dalmatia, the cult of the Blessed Ozana or Ozana Crnogorkinje spread in the sixteenth century to Italy, France, Spain, Germany and the Netherlands, although the Vatican released the confi rmation of her beatifi cation only in 1927. In the document, the declaration of Ozana Beat - blessed, it was stated that it is respected granted not only because of the life she had lived - according to the Christian principles, but also because of her commitment to point to the possibility of the unity of the Orthodox and Catholic Christians giving her own example. Shaping the character of the Blessed Ozana of Kotor in the form of a strong semantic core in the system of Montenegrin collective memory, the results show that literary texts are not only about the culture they belong to, but that they represent a kind of transmitters of culture which, by their nature, shape the cultural matrix and thereby affect social values and expectations, and their own identity and space.
