The paper centres on observing the development of a specific heuristic of Orientalism—summarised by Gingrich’s notion of ‘frontier Orientalism’ (1996)—in Slovenian literature and draws the similarities and differences with Edward Said’s noted theoretical paradigm. As this mytholiterary production of ‘imago Turci’ presents a strong basis for contemporary debates on Islam in Slovenian public discourse, the analysis actualises the archaic portrayals of Muslims and observes their reproductions in modern contexts.
