SMRTNO OZBILJNA DRUGOST: NARATIVNO SVJEDOČENJE O PRODUKCIJI GOLOG ŽIVOTA
DEADLY SERIOUS OTHERNESS: NARRATIVE TESTIMONY ABOUT THE PRODUCTION OF BARE LIFE

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with contemporary Bosnian-Herzegovinian short story, in fact deals with selected corpus of narrative texts that testify on the experience of war and the production of bare life – the life which is out of any form of protection. Through selected examples of narrative, this paper attempts to resolve paradox of testimony about the other, in order to find an answer to question whether the testimony about the other is possible, with what kind of terms and techniques, through which symbolic fiction, and in what context narrative testimony has definite meaning. Given the fact that the contemporary Bosnian-Herzegovinian short story, especially after the experience of the war, become aware of own social responsibility, narrative testimony will prove to be a relatively important element in the process of moralization reality, in the process of representing the ethics of responsibility for others and thus in the process of representing a critical attitude towards any kind of a crime.
