Скок у слободу идентитета у Мишимином роману Златни павиљон
Leap into the Freedom of Identity in Mishima’s Novel Golden Pavilion

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the work is to show how the leap into freedom is possible only by preserving identity through tradition and literature. After it is ascertained what the leap into freedom is actually, giving the example of Yukio Mishima’s novel Golden pavilion, we will see the emphasized difference between pompous modernism and trapped tradition, which is, with the existance of modernism, being oppressed. The hero of the novel, thus, makes an effort to find the medium which would connect him with idem-identity of deceptive Golden pavilion. This pavilion is, in fact, the symbol of technology and the world which is based on it. Technology offers utopian image of the world but with the consequence of deleting the past, history, tradition. The aim of the paper is, thus, to show that by finding and recognizing the identity, the leap into authentic freedom is possible, only by following the idea of transcendence, in dialectic correlation between historic and nonhistoric.
