Niče u javnoj biblioteci (o kanonu i o nekoliko makedonskih primjera)
Nietzche in public library (about canon and about several macedonian examples)

Summary/Abstract: The theme of this issue of Sarajevo Notebook is The National Literary Canon. Within the framework of this thematic block, literary theorists and critics from the former Yugoslavia try to analyse the concept of national literary canon and its implications in the post-Yugoslav reality of the Balkans. In doing so they focus their attention on the basic theoretical principles for determining the proper criteria for the identification of canonical writers and on the impact of dominant ideologies and political power centres on the formation of national canons in literature. Macedonian theorist Jasna Koteska gives her criticism of the patriarchal system of recruiting the national bards of literature, and points to the necessity of repeated canon evaluation, whose motto could be: history is not only generals’ history, but also the history of private soldiers.
