Novi maskulinitet u romanu Privatna galerija
A New Masculinity in the Novel Privatna Galerija

Summary/Abstract: Balša Brković’s novel Privatna galerija aims to contest a literary territory for new identities, in order to articulate the new Montenegrin experiences. This literature offers an alternative to the traditional cultural discourse on masculinity. In this highly conscious metafictive text, there is also an inconsequence, the blind spot. The essentially patriarchal dichotomy of Self and Other in the sex/gender relations remain. Privatna galerija does not threaten the status quo of the patriarchal sex/gender relations. However, it is clear that Montenegrin literature is at the beginning of creating new masculinities that are trying to break out from the patriarchal masculine ideal and, in doing so, making room for men’s practice of change.
