Viskovićeva „Republika“ i institucionalizacija Hrvatskoga društva pisaca
Visković's "Republika" and the institutionalization of the Croatian Writers' Society

Summary/Abstract: This paper interprets the appearance of neorealistic writing, poststructuralist literary theory and development of left oriented political thought in the magazine „Republika“ during 1990's, when it's editor was Velimir Visković. The chosen material and it's belonging context are interpreted through Lyotard's postmodernistic concept of metanarrative – narrative research models with simulative characteristics. The choise of this interpretative model proves how interpretation of literature through media criterium uncoveres political background of literary texts. Furthermore, paradigm of poetical and political development of „Republika“ through editorial unmasking of metanarative ideologems is profiled as political conflict between right and left political option, i.e. between publisher and editor of the same magazine. This conflict resulted with disintegration of the Croatian Writers' Association (DHK) as publisher and magazine concept of „Republika“ and formation of the Croatian Writers' Society (h, d, p) and it's new magazine variation „Književna republika“.
