Description
Book SynopsisThis study of contemporary literature from the former Yugoslavia (Post-Yugoslavia) follows the ways in which the feminist writing of gender, body, sexuality, and social and cultural hierarchies brings to light the past of socialist Yugoslavia, its cultural and literary itineraries and its dissolution in the Yugoslav wars. The analysis also focuses on the particularities of different feminist writings, together with their picturing of possible futures. The title of the book suggests an attempt to interpret post-Yugoslav literature as feminist writing, but also a process of conceptualizing a post-Yugoslav literary field, in this study represented by contemporary fiction from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia.
Trade Review"A book full of detailed descriptions and analyses that are highly relevant to how post-Yugoslavia deals with the future. An insightful read for people who are not interested in easy and ready-made answers." Jasen Philipps, www.kritisch-lesen.de, 13.04.2021, translated from German
