Summary  

Josip Kosor's dramatic work is well known to both Croatian and European readership and theatre public. First of all, common reader is well acquainted with the author's so called 'rural dramatic cycle' - especially his most 'specific' and the most appreciated modernistic play, Flame of Passion. This paper will try to interpret - using the critical concepts of literary anthropology, intercultural studies and theatre sociology - the so called 'Parisian phase' of his literary work, his intercultural dramas In Caf du Dme and Rotonda. After positioning his dramas in their cultural, historical and literary context, after analyzing their performative background, we will try to (1) discover the so called 'extraliterary alusiveness' that is present in Kosor's dramatic cycle, (2) read out some of the concepts of social, gender and, especially, ethnic stratification, as well as their function in producing cultural stereotypes about American and non-European, especially Far-Eastern world of the early twentieth century.
