Die Zeitschrift ,,Rec": ein moglicher Blick auf die serbische Prosa der 1990er Jahre (original) (raw)

Abstract

The establishment of the journal Word, which is to be seen as the core of the dynamics of Serbian fiction during the 1990's, was initiated by the ideological polarization at the Serbian cultural and literary scene of the time. The analysis of fiction texts, within the particular context (1994-1999), indicates that the official ideology, especially nationalism, marked one significant strand of Serbian literature in the last decade of the 20th century, which, from the present point of view, does not seem to be the most dynamic and vital one. Although mainstream in the 1990's, postmodern fiction exists predominantly in texts that parody postmodern poetics, thus giving a new life to the exhausted narrative paradigm. In analogy with this process, some young and female authors produce different fiction which could be named new mimetic fiction: texts are written in the confessional and realistic mode, in the form of diaries or notes, introducing various topics connected to the process of post-socialist changes. Keywords: ,,Rec" (1994-1999), Serbian fiction, postmodernism, ,,new mimetic fiction", post-socialist transformation .

Alexander Herzens friihe Prosa im literarischen und kulturellen Kontext der ,,natural'naja skola" Summary The article shows, how Alexander Herzen, following Heine's ,,Reisebilder'', develops a new poetic and journalistic style of writing, which specifically corresponds to the literary and cultural norms of the ''Natural School". At the same time, his early prose works demonstrate the difficulties which a young noble and radical intellectual had in reconciling his revolutionary mind-set with his convictions about the individual's right to liberty and material independence. Herzen defended these convictions above all, not only against the Czarist autocracy and Western Europe's civil society, but also against the peasants' communal organization in a future socialist Russia.
