TRANSKULTURNOST IN KULTURNA HIBRIDNOST V KONTEKSTU MIGRACIJ: PRIMER MESTA TRST. (Slovenian)

Transculturality is the key notion of this text. It is understood as an anti-concept against nationalistic representations of cultures as unique, homogeneous, separate entities, as a basic plan that creates a different picture of the situation of cultures and relationships among them: these are not considered as limited on the inside and on the outside, they are characterized by mutual interaction and intertwining. Transculturality, especially typical for the modern and present time of globalization, is effective both at the macrolevel of cultures and at the microlevel of individuals. It leads to the ‘Third space’ (Bhabha), in which borders are being cancelled, polarities are being moved and possibilities for hybrid identifications are being created. It is a space that is typical for an existential situation of people (especially migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, but also others) who have been thrown out of their habitual social and cultural environment and are defined by the feeling of homelessness and a tendency of looking for a ‘secure port’. The contribution approaches these themes with the help of biographical, literary and other texts and using the example of the city of Trieste. The development of this city is not thinkable outside globalization processes and the phenomenon of accelerated migrations and varied cultural traditions that have characterized them. The importance of ethnic-religious communities (nations) for the growth of Trieste into an international commercial emporium and also its transcontinental connection with America and the imagination of Trieste as the ‘European Philadelphia’ will be addressed as well.

Il presente contributo, focalizatto sullo sviluppo della città di Trieste, si confronta con i fenomeni della transculturalità, delle migrazioni e del »Terzo spazio« (Bhabha), nel quale i confini vengono cancellati, le polarità si spostano e si creano le possibilità di identificazioni ibride. Si tratta al contempo di uno spazio caratteristico per una condizione umana esistenziale, tipica principalmente per migranti e richiedenti asilo che sono stati costretti a lasciare l’ambiente sociale abituale e vengono definiti dalla sensazione di non aver casa e dalla tendenza di cercare un »porto sicuro«. La tematica viene affrontata con l’aiuto di testi biografici, letterari e altri. L’articolo sottolinea che lo sviluppo di Trieste non può essere compreso all’infuori dei moderni processi di globalizzazione e delle diverse tradizioni religiose e culturali che gli hanno dato l’impronta.

Prispevek se s fokusom na razvoj mesta Trst sooča s pojavi transkulturnosti, migracij in »Tretjega prostora« (Bhab- ha), v katerem se zabrisujejo meje, premeščajo polarnosti in vzpostavljajo možnosti hibridnih identifi kacij. Gre hkrati za prostor, ki je značilen za eksistenčni položaj ljudi, še zlasti priseljencev in eksilantov, ki so izvrženi iz privajenega družbenega okolja in jih določa občutje ne udomovljenosti ter težnja po najdenju »varnega pristana.« Članek se tematiki približuje s pomočjo biografskih, literarnih in drugih besedil in poudarja, da si razvoj Trsta ni mogoče misliti zunaj modernih globalizacijskih procesov ter raznolikih verskih in kulturnih tradicj, ki so mu dale pečat.
