Popis: The article proceeds from the theoretical concept of Occidentalism as a symbolic map of the understanding, elaboration, and perceptions of West and Western Europe in particular that were developed on the eastern side of Europe. This general matrix of mutual (mis)representations and national stereotypes between East and West is applied to the selected case of Slovenia and Italy. A brief review of relations and perceptions between the two nations as they have emerged in Slovene newspapers, literature and everyday life practices in the course of time represents the socio-historical and political context of the article. Furthermore the author focuses on the nationalist topics and Slovene perceptions of Italians in contemporary Slovene writing and ethno popular music on the methodological basis of textual analysis of selected historical and current literary works as well as works of ethno popular music in the larger Slovene ethnic space.
