Zazivanje ćudovišnog: Ućinci apostrofe u kvorumaškome pjesništvu
Invocation of the Monstrous: Consequences of Apostrophe

Summary/Abstract: "Quorum's" poetry was partly formed as an answer to the question of aporias of representation. This simply refers to anti-essentialist supposition that language cannot presume or maintain the wholeness of reality without delay, deficiency or remainder of any sort. Deconstruction steadily emphasised this attitude pointing out that there was no source of representation which had not already been grasped. According to Derrida, the presented is always in necessity of the presentation. "Quorum's" poetry transcribes this postulate as a part of its literary tactics so that it shakes up an entire series of logocentric formations starting with stable identity, unquestionable poetic or political truths to the point of authentic "transfer" of reality either to contemporary electronic media or to literature itself.
