Egzil i slika domovine u poeziji Jozefine Dautbegović
Exile and Image of Homeland in Jozefina Dautbegović’s Poetry

Summary/Abstract: In the paper, I tried to elaborate the meaning of exile and homeland, recognizing this as a symbol (and problem) of the whole 20th century literature and culture, but also as one of the most interesting relations in Jozefina Dautbegović’s poetry. Esthetisizing the situation of exile, the poetess showed / proved continuity of nomadism and legitimated historical chronologicum from Jewish refuges and Moses to post-Dayton BosnianHerzegovinian refuges. Direct poetic expression (revised in Polish poetry) emerges as necessity in the mechanisms of writing war trauma and post-war existential and social horror. The homeland (Bosnia) becomes a synonym for eternal war chaos, but also a key concept in the clash of modern and postmodern cultural paradigms.
