This article has analysed samples revealing the positionalities of representing the Bosnian-Herzegovinian “alien” in imperial Austrian literature around 1900. It not only shows the involvement of literary texts in contemporary views on Otherness, but also their frequent hidden colonial agenda in a transnational Habsburg context. Thus, close readings like the ones sketched here also prove the prolificness of applying a Postcolonial perspective even for power relations of hegemony and subalternity within Europe.
