FOLKLORE REPRESENTATIONS OF THE VAMPIRE AND THEIR TRANSFORMATIONS IN THE NOVELS VAMPIR PANTELIJA BY DANICA MARKOVIĆ, VAMPIRICA BY BOŽIDAR KOVAČEVIĆ AND VAMPIROVIĆ BY IVAN PAVIĆ

Summary/Abstract: The research deals with folklore representations of the vampire in the Serbian literature. By reconstructing the vampire motif, we shall point out the traditional elements that appear in the representative works from the beginning of the 20th to the 21st century. Examples of the transposition of this motif in the Serbian short stories are Vampir Pantelija by Danica Marković (1992), Vampirica by Božidar Kovačević (1928) and Vampirović by Ivan Pavić (2017). By analysing the motif of vampire focusing on the origins, physical characteristics, and methods of vampire destruction, the paper indicates genre conditionality of its representation and in some places divergence from the traditional image of the vampire. At the same time, the paper points out possible perspectives of interpretation in the approach to this literary motif, and the method of the study is founded on the reconstruction of the folklore template, based on the extensive corpus of folk belief and theoretical works.
