BORDER FASCISM IN THE VENEZIA GIULIA: THE ISSUE OF “PROXIMATE COLONY” IN SLOVENIAN LITERATURE

Abstract

I testi letterari sloveni riconoscono nel fascismo di frontiera il discorso del colonizzatore, lo "citano" oppure si riferiscono ad esso, lo mettono in discussione e lo rifi utano. Il personaggio letterario sloveno, che lo sguardo fascista-italiano vorrebbe plasmare come personaggio colonizzato e sottoposto, rifi uta tale identita sostituendola con l'autostereo- tipo sloveno di resistente: che si oppone all 'imposizione dello status di colonizzato e con cio conferma il fascismo di frontiera come strategia del regime colonizzatore, basata sul modello di colonia in vicinanza. Con una lettura postcoloniale di alcuni testi letterari sloveni selezionati e con la presentazione del modello di colonia in vicinanza (R. Donia, S. Vervaet) l'articolo cerca di aprire la possibilita di percepire il fascismo di frontiera nella Venezia Giulia, attraverso le rappresentazioni letterarie slovene come zona di contatto di due culture di confi ne, alla luce di questo specifi co rapporto coloniale tra centro imperiale e periferia, abitata da una popolazione non italiana e ostile al fascismo come colonizzatore.

Slovenian literary texts which refer to the border Fascism, recognize its fascist discourse as colonial. They "quote" it and refer to it, they put it under the question and they deny it. A Slovenian literary character, constructed as the colonial subaltern in the fascist-Italian view, rejects this image in the name of Slovenian auto-stereotype of a revolter: the literary character rejects the very possibility of being treated as a colonized subject and thus actually confirms the border Fascism as a set of colonization strategies characteristic of the concept of proximate colony. The article is an introduction to postcolonial reading of selected Slovenian literary texts and also an introduction to the concept of proximate colony (R. Donia, S. Vervaet). Slovenian literary representations, i.e. the literary "contact zone" of two border cultures of Venezia Giulia off er a chance to reflect the border Fascism policy from the perspective of colonial relations between the imperial centre and the periphery, inhabited mostly by the disloyal non-Italian population.
