Il Ducato della Carniola nelle gazzette italiane del secondo Settecento

Tiskani časopisi (gre predvsem za politične časopise in ne toliko literarne ali bibliografske) predstavljajo pomemben fenomen v zgodovini komunikacije, kulture in založništva v 18. stoletju in vsaj deloma odražajo položaj, ki so ga zavzemala mesta in dežele v pretoku informacij starega rešima in zato torej na neki način nakazujejo geopolitične predstave, ki jo je o teh mestih in deželah imelo javno mnenje tistega časa. V luči teh razmišljanj prispevek osvetljuje prisotnost novic, povezanih s ozemljem dežele Kranjske (ki se delno ujema z današnjo Slovenijo) v nekaterih italijanskih časopisih iz 18. stoletja, pričemer je posebna pozornost posvečena zadnjim desetletjem omenjenega stoletja. Prispevek temelji na dveh vrstah podatkov, zbranih s pomošjo različnih metodologij. Po eni strani gre za novice, vzete iz tednika Gazzetta goriziana (1774-1776), najstarejšega lista, ki je izhajal v današnji Furlaniji Julijski krajini in ki je bil sistematično proučevan. Po drugi strani pa gre za novice o Kranjski, najdene na straneh drugih italijanskih časopisov

Printed newspapers (among which there are prevalently political newspapers, not so much literary or bi-bliographical ones) represent an important phenomenon in the history of communication, culture and pu-blishing in the 18th century, and reflect, at least partially, the position of towns and countries within the information flow of the old regime. They show to a certain extent the geopolitical dimension of public opinion of that time on these towns and countries. In the light of these reflections, we discuss the presen-ce of the news related to the territory of the Duchy of Carniola (which partially corresponds to present-day Slovenia) in some 18th century Italian newspapers, in particular in the last decades of the 18 th century. The paper focuses on two types of data collected using different methodologies. First, news taken from “Gazzetta goriziana” (1774-1776), the oldest weekly newspaper published in present-day Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, are studied systematically. Second, we look at the news on the Duchy of Carniola in the pa-ges of other Italian newspapers.
