Poetičke mijene i konstante bošnjačke književnosti (prvi dio)
Poetical Shifts and Continuities in the Bosniak Literature (Part 1)

Summary/Abstract: This paper is a third sequel to the study Poetical and Cultural History of the Bosniak Literature, the first two having been published in Pregled magazine (No. 2/2009 and No. 3/2010). In this text, I have attempted to analyze the complex processes of superimposition of various social and cultural systems and,consequently, of literary models, conventions and shapes from the oriental-Islamic to the Western European cultural and civilization circle. Such processes are paradigmatically determined on the one hand by Lotman’s notions of culture and explosion as well as, on the other hand, by a pronounced orientalist discourse which is contained, even today, in numerous texts in which Bosniak literature is viewed as a cultural relict and anachronous Ottoman heritage. That is the cause of neglect of many precious forms of permeation and adoption, adaptations and syncretism of literary texts written in liminal areas, in a microcultural literary community, characterized, throughout the 20th century, by a quest for reliable forms of cultural identity.
