Summary
Neven Ušumović: The Golden Burn
The topics that Neven Ušumović in "The Golden Burn", as part of a broader thematic backbone, takes as an object of interest are precisely those segments of the Croatian tourist complex that are rarely heard about and which are usually pushed under the carpet as unwanted children of the marketing representation of the most vital branch of the Croatian economy. Although his motifs are linked to the Istrian region, the author is undoubtedly searching for universal truths of his thematic framework, which spill over not only to the national level, but also to the global one.
The author's anchoring of the work in the eighties of the last century is also interesting. That "mythological" period of Croatian tourism is the focal point of Ušumović's concept: the highest peak that can be seen from both sides - both from the past and from the future.
