ХРОНОТОП У ПРИПОВЕТКАМА ВИДЕ ОГЊЕНОВИЋ
THE RELATION BETWEEN TIME AND SPACE IN SHORT STORIES OF VIDA OGNJENOVIĆ

Summary/Abstract: The relation between time and space emerges as a specific poetic setting in Vida Ognjenović’s two collections of short stories The Poisonous Milk of the Dandelion and The Grandfather’s Clock. The works’ chronotope represents an onset in the study of the literary works’ structure as a narrative procedure. In either literal or metaphorically poetic sense the chronotope functionally conditions the characters becoming a constituent part of the story’s particular stylistic and linguistic horizon. In relation to the location of Sremski Karlovci, the town of her youth, Vida Ognjenović introduces time as a meritorious unit for the eloquent qualifications of the presented portraits. Time also is designated as a distinctive category in the developmental outline of the characters on the relations between there and here, then and now, at the moment from which the narration starts. The literal and metaphorical journeys through time and space increase the dynamics of the descriptive and narrative procedure of people fixation as a thematic obsession in Vida Ognjenović’s short stories.
