Strategies of Colonisation and (non)Resistance – Discursive and Formative Infiltration of Media into the Transitional Croatian Literature
Abstract
The work detects and analyzes the change in contemporary Croatian literature poetics during the transition from socialism to capitalism. Although postmodern poetics was present in pre-war Croatian literature as well, post-Yugoslav or transitional literature in Croatian prose approaches the characteristics of postmodernism as the cultural logic of late capitalism, and its discourse is thereby greatly formed by the emerging media, from stylo-thematic macrostructures to stylo-linguistic microstructures.
