Abstract

Sveopći položaj hrvatskih zemalja na samoj polovici 19. stoljeća bio je iznimno otežan. Prisutnost elemenata koji su proizašli iz Metternichova sustava još je više pospješila razjedinjenost koja se pokušavala dokinuti, između ostalog, razvojem kulture i jezika u okvirima preporodnog razdoblja. U tom se kontekstu javlja hrvatski publicist Ante Kuzmanić kao pokretač prvoga časopisa na hrvatskom jeziku u Dalmaciji – Zore dalmatinske. S tim u vezi ovaj rad proučava oscilacije političke scene u razdoblju neposredno prije pokretanja časopisa, kako bi se lakše shvatile ekonomske i kulturne promjene koje su kao takve imale izravan utjecaj na Zoru. Nadalje, u tekstu se daje pažnja pitanju jezika, odnosno faktoru koji je u temelju odmaknuo razmišljanja preporoditelja kontinentalne Hrvatske i Dalmacije, a isto tako bio ključan lajtmotiv časopisa. Osim pitanja jezika, Zora je preko svojih tekstova plasirala razne ideje koje su se ticale ujedinjenja hrvatskih zemalja, što je neminovno utjecalo na integraciju hrvatske nacije. Kako bi se takvo razmišljanje potvrdilo, u radu je korišten integracijski model češkog povjesničara Miroslava Hrocha, preko kojega je interpretirano značenje Zore dalmatinske.<br />Overall situation in the mid-19th century in Croatia was somewhat difficult. The strong presence of the Metternich System gave impetus to the continuation of the fragmentation of Croatian regions that was hoped to be stopped by further development of culture and language. In that context, it is important to mention the Croatian publisher Ante Kuzmanić as the founder of the first magazine in the Croatian language in the region of Dalmatia – Zora dalmatinska. This paper studies the oscillations of the political scene with the goal to understand the impact that the changes, considering economy and culture, had on Zora dalmatinska. Furthermore, in regard to the language as a rather dividing factor when it comes to reformers from continental Croatia and Dalmatia, this paper also looks into that part bearing in mind that the language is a fundamental leitmotif of the Zora. Ultimately, understanding how big of an effect the magazine had on the idea of unification of the Croatian regions, there is a part dedicated to the integration of the nation. To be more accurate, a model of the national integration presented by the Czech historian Miroslav Hroch was used while interpreting Zora dalmatinska with hopes to display the importance of the magazine considering the integration of the Croatian nation.
