POETIKA PUTOVANJA U DJELU ANTUNA GUSTAVA MATOŠA
POETICS OF TRAVELING IN ANTUN GUSTAV MATOŠ’S LITERARY OEUVRE

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the fact that Matoš spent nearly half of his creative life in exile, in numerous, often anxious encounters with the new life conditions in foreign countries and cultures, encounters with nuances of “different” in literatures and cultures from which Matoš derived his knowledge and experience. Regarding the fact that Matoš often wrote observing and percieving the other with the eyes of an “eternal stranger”, emigrant and newcomer, flâneur and traveler, we decided to apply the imagological approach to the aspects of Matoš’s interaction with French, Italian and Serbian cultures, respectively. We were determined to conduct this research from the perspective of comparative imagology, dealing with the delicate “consequences” of the Matoš’s life abroad, primarily in the context of aforementioned cultures that determined him artistically and intellectually.
