Motivi duše i tijela u Šimićevu pjesništvu
Motifs of soul and body in poetry of Antun Branko Šimić

Summary/Abstract: Significant motifs in Šimić’s poetry pertain to the interpretation of soul and body, that is to comprehension of spirituality and materiality. In all his phases, from late impressionism, through expressionism to social phase, the author was, to a certain degree, preoccupied with dichotomy of those concepts by means of which he (re)presented existential, metaphysical, spiritual and social topics. This paper will show associative sequence of motifs composing basic terms of spirituality and materiality and projecting binary oppositions, such as god/woman, bliss/suffering, dance/illness, peace/struggle, life/death, etc. Through specified motif suggestions the paper will examine author’s attempts in revealing identity marks and situating subject within metatextual and contextual worlds of poetic text.
