The literary update on the motif is in line with the modeling strategies of Dalmatian hinterland referring to the vision of “noble savages” (the Morlacchis/Vlajs). They can serve in bringing about the colonisation policy (as was done in the 18th century by the Republic of Venice) as well as in defining complex relationships in this Croatian-Serbian-Italian borderlands.}, doi = {10.4467/25439561KSR.22.016.16368}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/kultura-slowian/article/zapomniany-motyw-dalmatynskiej-mamki-a-modelowanie-wyobrazen-o-dalmacji-w-prozie-milana-begovicia-vladana-desnicy-i-enza-bettizy} }
