МА­ЛАЈСКИ ПАНТУН У ФРАН­ЦУСКОМ РУ­ХУ
MALAY PANTOUN IN FRENCH

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the Malay pantoun, or pantoum, specific poetic form originating from Malaysia and Indonesia, which are geographically and culturally very distant from European and American soil, and therefore from their literatures. We start with the definition of the form itself, discuss its peculiarities, its penetration into the European literary tradition, and focuss on its distribution in French literature, as well as in FrenchCanadian literature. During the research, we noticed that in the French literary circle this specific poetic form was accepted with some adaptations to the Romance cultural and linguistic heritage, while contemporary French-Canadian poetry contains examples of return to malay roots of this poetic form, therefore to its essence.
