Kanon u “međuknjiževnim zajednicama” i interkulturna povijest književnosti (u tezama)

Author(s): Zvonko Kovač / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 08-09/2005

The theme of this issue of Sarajevo Notebook is The National Literary Canon. Within the framework of this thematic block, literary theorists and critics from the former Yugoslavia try to analyse the concept of national literary canon and its implications in the post-Yugoslav reality of the Balkans. In doing so they focus their attention on the basic theoretical principles for determining the proper criteria for the identification of canonical writers and on the impact of dominant ideologies and political power centres on the formation of national canons in literature. Zvonko Kovač, theorist from Croatia, underscores the meaning and necessity of intercultural history of literature in inter-literary communities, which should contribute to understanding, democratisation and further canon building in South Slavic literatures.

Nacionalni književni kanon - mjesto moći

Author(s): Enver Kazaz / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 08-09/2005

The theme of this issue of Sarajevo Notebook is The National Literary Canon. Within the framework of this thematic block, literary theorists and critics from the former Yugoslavia try to analyse the concept of national literary canon and its implications in the post-Yugoslav reality of the Balkans. In doing so they focus their attention on the basic theoretical principles for determining the proper criteria for the identification of canonical writers and on the impact of dominant ideologies and political power centres on the formation of national canons in literature. Analysing the complex case of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Enver Kazaz writes of the canon as a place of political power, but also a weapon in the hands of national ideologies, which, taking maximal advantage of their manipulative potentials, see national canons as vital tools of further segregation in post-war Bosnian society.

Jesu li biljke nešto drugo...

Author(s): Enver Kazaz,Hanifa Kapidžić-Osmanagić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 08-09/2005

The section Dialogue presents a conversation between the Bosnian-Herzegovinian literary critic Enver Kazaz and Hanifa Kapidžić-Osmanagić, university professor and one of the most important figures in the intellectual scene of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Her distinctive views of the world and literature make this an exceptionally interesting dialogue. The conclusion that her entire work is based upon the interaction of cultures remains confirmed in her thought on the necessity of a cosmopolitan approach, expressed in the idea that: …In Bosnia, the positions of leading experts on literature should not be granted to people whose primary orientation is national, who are inclined to nationalism. Such a situation betrays Bosnia and its national complexity. By their knowledge and by their determination, these people should have Bosnian-Herzegovinian, South Slavic, European, international affiliations.
