ISTORIJA ŠPANSKE SVAKODNEVICE – CRNjANSKI NA TRAGU UNAMUNOVE INTRAISTORIJE

Abstract

Through means of a comparative method we analyze the notion of intrahistory, developed by the Spanish writer Miguel de Unamuno, and its traces in travelogues written by Miloš Crnjanski during his visit to Spain in 1933. Considering this aim, in this paper we firstly define the concept of intrahistory in the context of contemporary thought on history and especially on the history of everyday life, highlighting its relevance in the cognition of common people, which is usually omitted from the history books. Then, starting from the theory of travelogues, we interpret the places of its crossing with the ideas of history of everyday life and a notion of intrahistory. Finally, in travelogues of Miloš Crnjanski we find aspects that indicate approximation of his texts to the concept of the intrahistory of Unamuno through the characteristics of travelogue genre. In the ideas of both authors, the one who tries to discover his country from the inside and the other who tries to discover it from the outside, concentrating on common people, primarily peasantry, and everyday life of rural environments is noticeable, through which, we conclude, both authors tend to discover the essence of Spanish.
