%X Saˋetak In the Croatian drama of the second half of the 20th century, especially the playwriting from the 1970s and 1980s, characterized by intertextual experimenting with the structure of foreign literature, culture, mythology and history, one can easily identify the tendency of confronting these components with the elements of the Croatian literary and cultural space, i.e. with the traditional 每 both at the level of dealing with the formal (e.g. when using a verse), or with the narrative based on either oral or written literature. One gets the impression that the dimension of the dramatic text leaning on traditional Croatian literature is the result of the loyalty towards the home and the homeland. The use of features, even the ones of (from) the ˋforeignˋ world and its cultural supply are here embedded into the domestic literature. In the frameworks of the so-called postmodernist drama, such elements of shaping and confronting foreign with Croatian are visible in the work of many of our dramatists of the mentioned period: ˋoljan, Slamnig. Kuˋan, Paljetak, Breˋan, as well as in the younger generation of authors: Mujiˋiˋ-Senker-ˋkrabe (triad), Lada Kaˋtelan, Mislav Brumec etc. In this paper the authors focus on two examples, i.e. two Paljetak＊s plays 每 ˋPoslije Hamletaˋ (1993) and ˋOrfeuridikaˋ (1996) 每 through which they want to demonstrate the relationship between the domestic and foreign in the last three decades of the 20th century, frequently characterised by emphasizing the national (and homeland) identity. In the second half of the 1990s, with the tendencies inherited from the earlier years 每 there is an obvious shift towards the era of globalization and ˋvanishingˋ of borders (between the domestic and foreign). Multiculturality thus 每 in the text and society 每 rests on the possibilities of assimilation (which always implies hierarchy, adaptation towards what is ˋvaluableˋ to us), which in literature can occur through hypotext, i.e. when we deal with the (nonidentical) repetition (ˋPoslije Hamletaˋ) or the integration of the Other, that presupposes ˋa differenceˋ to the assimilation (it may eventually lead to reconsidering of the term ˋvalueˋ). Through Derrida＊s absence and the above-mentioned difference, the authors review the status of the dramatic text as the author＊s ˋhomelandˋ where it (the text) has a double status: it is ˋthe hostˋ and ˋthe foreignerˋ
