TY - JOUR TI - #domovina, czyli hashtagowanie ojczyzny AU - Wróblewska-Trochimiuk, Ewa TI - #domovina, czyli hashtagowanie ojczyzny AB - Hashtags, originally introduced in Internet Relay Chat, then popularized in Twitter, have become the most used way to tag short messages in social networks. They are also used on Instagram since this facilitates searching, classification and clustering over visual materials. The text focuses on the hashtag domovina (homeland) and shows how Croatian users of Instagram understand and visualize the idea of homeland. I distinguished main strategies of understanding of homeland: by connecting it with national symbols, confession, landscape, cuisine and – unexpectedly – selfie. I find that Instagram group using the hashtag domovina is a new type of political community. In the last part of the text I state that images containing tag domovina create the thematic collection and that they form a new type of image that I called modern polyptych.   VL - 2017 IS - Volume 12, Issue 1 PY - 2017 SN - 1897-3035 C1 - 2084-3933 SP - 73 EP - 86 DO - 10.4467/20843933ST.17.006.6282 UR - https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/studia-litteraria-uic/artykul/domovina-czyli-hashtagowanie-ojczyzny KW - hashtag KW - domovina KW - ojczyzna KW - Chorwacja KW - Instagram KW - poliptyk.
