Traganje za književnim identitetom (Poetika sjećanja i kritička samorefleksija)
In Search of Literary Identity (Poetics of Remembering and Critical Self-Reflection)

Summary/Abstract: Neglected and denied of its own defining quality within the literary – historical realm of self-defining, the Bosniak literature until recently contained, in works of most prominent authors, an ever obsessive theme of seeking the collective identity that is shaping in various forms of cultural and memory representation in every newly produced text as troublesome self-awareness of a world caught at the crossroads of cultures and worlds, “where surges of history clash”. From that direction, even though peculiarities of Bosniak literature’s poetic identity are important, even in the traditional description of diachronic literary – historical string certainly, however much significant is recognition of cultural and memory loci, formats and figures of literary tradition, confidently recognized in modern literature as the basic cultural foundations and archetypal texture of modern literary discourse. Therefore, we are having today shifting and alongside various critical and literary paradigms by which we always reread again the significance of tradition within the text of our own culture, where recognizing these values and constants possesses great importance within their inter-textual renewal, which transforms the representativeness of literary – historical range into a dynamic, polyphonic and polycentric mosaic of palimpsest recreating esthetically alive potentials of tradition.
