“Ja sam geograf uspavanog kraljevstva”. Psihopoetika knjige Kontrolna riječ (2018) Vere Pavlove
“I am a geographer of the sleeping kingdom”. Psychopoetics in Vera Pavlova’s Proverochnoe slovo (Control word) (2018)

Summary/Abstract: This paper proposes a new approach to the concept of psychopoetics, i.e., the psychological aspect of poetic manifestation based on the relationship between the psyche and the world. This approach identifies an allegorical relation between the cosmos and the soul, which goes back to Freud’s idea that the soul treats impressions from the outside as differences from a symbolic relation between the universe and the psyche. This method was developed by Jung in order to look for correspondences between the inside of the human being and the context. Symbolical psychopoetics is exemplified with Vera Pavlova’s 2018 anthology of poetry and prose Proverochnoe slovo (Control Word). The anthology consists of poetry and short prose writing, which in different ways imagine the relation between the soul and the world.
