DEZINTEGRACIJA POETIKE SOCIJALISTIČKOG REALIZMA U RANOM PRIPOVJEDAČKO-ROMANESKNOM DJELU MEŠE SELIMOVIĆA
DISINTEGRATION OF THE SOCIALIST REALIST POETICS IN THE EARLY NOVELS OF MEŠA SELIMOVIĆ

Summary/Abstract: The early narrative-novelistic style of Meša Selimović – observed in his literary work as a paradigm of the entire immanent development of contemporary Bosnian-Herzegovinian and Bosniak literature – represents a part or phase, characterized by specific traits of theme, genre and poetics. Selimović's narrative-novelistic work begins with his early short stories, and ends with the novel Mist and Moonlight (1965), and includes everything that he wrote before the novel Death and the Dervish (1966). While it is obvious that this part of his work was neglected in previous literary canons (Yugoslav, Bosnian-Herzegovinian, Bosniak), and in various aspects of social presentation – primarily due to superficial interpretation of his early short stories, but also because of the obvious grandeur of the novels Death and the Dervish and The Fortress – its importance in the poetic termination of socialist realism in the (central) South-Slavonic interliterary community should be noted, especially within Bosnian-Herzegovinian and Bosniak literature.
