"KO HOĆE DA ŽIVI, NEK’ MRE" - SARAJEVSKI ATENTAT I DVIJE PJESME IZ KNJIŽEVNOSTI MLADE BOSNE
“HE WHO WANTS TO LIVE, SHOULD DIE” - SARAJEVO ASSASSINATION AND TWO POEMS FROM YOUNG BOSNIA LITERATURE

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the role of culture, especially literature, in conceptual and ideological preparation, implementation and, particularly, the later textual memorialisation of the Sarajevo Assassination. Special attention was paid to the so-called Young Bosnia literature and its tradition, especially to two poems: Prva proljetna pjesma [The First Spring Poem] (1914) by Ivo Andric and Umiranje [Dying] (1914/1915?) by Gavrilo Princip. These two poems are two extremely important early examples of the memorialisation of the Sarajevo Assassination and the Young Bosnia generation in what is the literary practice of the Young Bosnia and its tradition. Both texts reveal some of the essentially important Young Bosnia self-representations, but also some of the important aspects related to the issue of the conceptual and ideological preparation, implementation and later memorial textualisation of the Sarajevo Assassination and the Young Bosnian movement.
