The Process of the Transformation of Models : Influences of Austro-Hungarian Urban and Architectural Models in the Southern Parts of the Monarchy

The presentation discusses the role that the dominant cultural/urban/architectural models played in the formation of a city's urban identity. It focuses in particular on the very process of implementation of a model - its mechanisms and dynamics, i.e.: the reason why a certain model gets appropriated and used ; how the model becomes necessarily transformed in the process ; and how this change in form in turn provokes a desired shift of meanings. The analysis proposes that it is precisely this 'overstepping of the outlines of the model' - both in terms of form and its meaning - that might harbor consequential clues. It is, namely, possible to claim that it is precisely in this peculiar detachment, in this fissure, in this distance between the model and its actualization that the source of a city's distinctive identity might be hidden and found. Accordingly, it might be argued that the search for identity might proceed through an analysis of the intricate game with the other rather than repeated excavations of the self ; in other words, that the essence of identity might reside in the very process rather than firm and stable definitions. The dynamics of this process is analyzed on the example of urban and architectural models implemented by Austria-Hungary in the southern parts of the monarchy. By focusing on this specific set of models, the discussion is able to simultaneously address a whole range of issues raised by the 2002 Mostar symposium, such as the complex relationship between the dominant and subordinate cultures, the questions of urban and cultural identity and authenticity, and the overwhelming issue of globalization and heritage. Namely, as the multiethnic, multicultural, multi-linguistic Austria-Hungary represented &#8211 ; in its part of the world, and in its time in history &#8211 ; a sort of global, overarching culture, then the efforts of defining and maintaining identity within that particular global entity might be suggested to offer instructive insights for our own current dilemmas in terms of globalization versus specificity. Since the goal was primarily to analyze this process, as it was introduced, instead of presenting a whole overview of Austria-Hungary's urban models and their respective reverberations, the presentation focused on the analysis of one single example. With the effects of this process palpably discernible in its urban fabric, the case on which it was discussed was the urban development of the late 19th and early 20th century Zagreb. Consequently, some deeper, structural similarities between the cases of Zagreb and Mostar were proposed and discussed. The presented practice of juggling with the forms and meanings of the dominating cultural paradigms is suggested to be a unique property of the so-called 'peripheral regions, ' as Prof. Ljubo Karaman defined them in the 1930s. What was essential here is precisely this critical and creative freedom to play with the historically contingent models. The point was not in rejecting the dominant paradigms - in which case their potentially beneficial attributes would be abandoned and lost - but in provisionally accepting them, and modifying them just to the point when they would start expressing the suppressed cultures' own deeper tradition and messages. This specific property of peripheral regions to turn potentially annihilating, leveling concepts to serve their own inherent particularity might therefore be viewed as an invaluable and highly instrumental gift. As a recurrently proven and confirmed technique, it may even prompt us to check its strength and elasticity in face of the approaching overwhelming global tendencies.
