Triestine Literature Between Slovenia and Italy: A Case of Missed Transculturalism?
Keywords:
Slovenian literature, Italian literature, literary periphery, cultural identity, transculturalism, Kosovel, Srečko, Slataper, ScipioAbstract
This article examines a body of literature between Slovenia and Italy in the early twentieth century. This literature will emerge as particularly modern due to the paradigm of its regional peripherality. Srečko Kosovel and Scipio Slataper, however, were not to realize transcultural projects at the regional level, notwithstanding their pro-European agendas.References
