Ратови, трауме и идентитети у српском роману 1991–2021. (I)
Wars, Traumas, and Identities in the Serbian Novel 1991–2021 (I)

Summary/Abstract: This paper briefly introduces the general attitudes that some of the most prominent Serbian writers formulated about war and trauma, as well as national and supranational self-understanding. In the second part of the paper, on the examples of contemporary novels, the author deals with the “circular-evocative” paradigm as one of the magistral choices in the literary treatment of personal and/or collective war traumas. It is based on repetitive recognition of past events and their meanings in the present situations as a kind of collectively understandable, circular identity pattern.
