The presentation deals with  representation of space in literary texts of the 17th century Ragusan authors. Following spatial turn in contemporary humanities and social sciences, literary space is approached as a social and cultural product. Focusing on exemplary literary works, it will be shown that literary spaces in the given texts invoke multiple meanings, which are generated by different discourses (historical space, social space, (geo)political space, religious space etc.). Implying multiple demarcations, representation of space in the texts of the Ragusan authors implies the different concepts of collective identities. Preferential space(s) of identity/alterity reveals the auto/raguso/centric perspective and, especially, the 17th century political (and ideological) discourse of the Ragusan aristocracy.
