ETIČKI PROSTOR ČOJSTVA I JUNAŠTVA KAO GLAVNO OBILJEŽJE INTERTEKSTUALNOSTI HAJKE I GORSKOG VIJENCA
THE ETHICAL SPACE OF HUMANITY AND HEROISM AS THE MAIN FEATURE OF THE INTERTEXTUALITY OF HAJKA AND THE MOUNTAIN WREATH

Summary/Abstract: If we define the theme of The Mountain Wreath (Gorski vijenac) as an artistic and literary reconstruction of the Montenegrin socio-cultural code, then the novel The Pursuit (Hajka) could also be understood as a certain selfdescription of the Montenegrin collective personality and, moreover, as a mimesis of identical image of this ethnic group presented in The Mountain Wreath. Finally, The Pursuit becomes the guardian of the archaic message of the prototext ot The Mountain Wreath, not its creator. In this case, the illustrative metatextual pattern becomes a powerful means of mythologizing, canonizing, highly elevated ideas of Montenegrin ethos: ethical-philosophicalmystical system of chivalry and heroism, and most broadly, Montenegrin philosophy of heroism, specific in relation to the notion of heroism in general.
