Status autora u Dubrovačkoj trilogiji Feđe Šehovića
Status of the author in Dubrovnik Trilogy from Feđa Šehović

Summary/Abstract: (New)historical novels Bitter taste of the soul (Gorakokusduše), Freeing the devil: Chronicle (Oslobađanje đavola: Kronika) and Introduction to the fortress: The Bible for unbelievers, (Uvod u tvrđavu: Biblija za nevjernike) in the literature of literary science also known under the name Dubrovnik trilogy, Croatian and Bosnian writer FeđaŠehović wrote in the eighties of the last century under the pseudonym Raul Mitrovich.Writing under the pseudonym would be no totally estranging process of literary production that Šehović pseudonym choice does not match the name of one of the characters (the compiler of the manuscript) in the concluding novel of the trilogy, thus setting the intertextual and outertextual borders as unspecified and fluid. Shaping the destiny of the characters (especially the characters that carry the role of “author” of the record) and conventions of an inscription found (in the context of intertextual relations) they are components of novelistic structure representing guidelines for questioning the status of the author within these Šehović novels. The issue of authorship in this paper will be observed on the entanglement of popular Barthes’s thesis on the author’s death (1968), which, among other things, grows out of the context of intertextuality as the general characteristic of each text, and Foucault’s attempt to, with syntagma author-function, rather than once again confirms death / disappearance of the author, “locates the positions where it fulfills its function” (1969).
