Sufijsko-simbolistička paradigma u poeziji Muse Ćazima Ćatića
A Paradigm of Sufi Symbolism in Poetry of Musa Ćazim Ćatić

Summary/Abstract: In recent Bosnia and Herzegovina literature, Musa Ćazim Ćatić is positioned as the first Bosniak poet of modern literature. His poetry diachronically belongs to three periods, first of which includes poems dominantly influences by folk poetry. Second period involves poems which combine rules of poetry of romanticism and modern literature and the third is modern poetry in the true sense of the word. His poems are uncritically described as religious, Sufi poetry, which should not be surprising because the poet is a successor of Bosniak literary heritage of Ottoman period, Ottoman Divan poetry. The paper tries to prove that there is a unique poetic principle of the poet’s work exclusive of the period when he was writing and if religious motives are present in his poems or not. The poetic principle is called a paradigm of Sufi symbolism, which sustainability can be found in similarity in ideological and philosophical outcome of Sufism and symbolism and in stylistic procedures in both poetries.
