IN ENGLISH: Research on Bourdieu’s “homology” thesis and Peterson’s “omnivore” hypothesis, as well as research on cultural cosmopolitanism, are integral to academic considerations of the interrelationship between class and cultural tastes. This paper contributes to such work by examining cultural tastes in Croatia, a context that occupies a peripheral position in the global cultural system. Multiple correspondence analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis were applied to survey data. We find that the main class distinction is between those who simultaneously express a cosmopolitan orientation and a taste in elite culture, and those who dislike both elite and non-Croatian cultural products. There is no group of “highbrow” univores in our sample, but rather those higher up the class hierarchy display different types of omnivorous tastes. A novelty of the study is identifying a multiplicity of more univorous cultural tastes. Our results point to complex cultural repertoires in which multiple forces of social structuring overlap. -------------- IN CROATIAN: Istraživanja Bourdieuove teze o "homologiji" i Petersonove o "omnivorima", kao i istraživanja kulturnog kozmopolitizma, sastavni su dio akademskih razmatranja međuodnosa klasnih položaja i kulturnih ukusa. Ovaj rad pridonosi tim razmatranjima istraživanjem kulturnih ukusa u Hrvatskoj, kontekstu koji zauzima periferno mjesto u globalnom kulturnom sustavu. Analiza višestruke korespondencije i hijerarhijska klaster analiza primijenjene su na anketnim podacima. Nalazimo da je glavna klasna razlika između onih koji izražavaju odnosno ne izražavaju kozmopolitsku orijentaciju i ukus u elitnoj kulturi. U uzorku ne postoji skupina isključivih "elitnih" univora, već oni više pozicionirani u klasnoj hijerarhiji pokazuju različite omnivorske tendencije: selektivne, eklektične i tradicionalne. Novost rada je identificiranje i različitih univorskih kulturnih ukusa. Naši rezultati ukazuju na složene kulturne repertoare u kojima se preklapaju višestruke dinamike društvenog strukturiranja uključujući one generacijske.
