THE STRATEGIES OF LITERARY HISTORICAL AVANT-GARDES

Prvi dio teksta sumarno apsolvira tematiziranje prostora tzv. povijesnih avangardi, njihova dehijerarhijskoga i destrukcijskoga odnosa prema ukupnoj civilizaciji. Razgradnja semantičkoga znaka i stvarnosti i tzv. konkurencija diskurza povijesnih avangardi, otvara prostor ambivalentnoga tumačenja ukupne avangardne prakse. Stoga se i čitanje poetskoga teksta Josipa Severa zbiva u najmanje dva ključa: kao stereotipizacija postupaka povijesne avangarde i njihovo fragmentiranje unutar vlastita diskurza, te postmoderni postupak komunikacije sa susjednim diskurzima kao tekstualnom, a ne organskom matricom smisla. Kroz tako pročitanu praksu tradicionalizacije povijesnih avangardi i aktualizacije u jednom diskurzu postavangardnoga brisanja pjesničkoga subjekta, Josip Sever vlastitom pjesničkom praksom bitan je prijelaz, ili prag od pjesništva egzistencije, prema pjesništvu jezika u hrvatskom poetskom iskustvu.The first part of the paper gives a summary of the thematisation of the space of the so-called \u27historical avant-gardes\u27, their dehierarchical and destructive relationship towards the civilisation as a whole. The decomposition of the semantic sign and reality, and the so-called \u27discourse competitiveness\u27 of historical avant-gardes makes allowances for ambivalent interpretation of the whole of avant-garde praxis. Thus, Josip Sever\u27s text can be read on two levels: as a stereotypisation of historical avant-garde procedures and their fragmentation within their own discourse on the one, and as post-modern communication with the neighbouring discourses seen as textual rather than organic sense matrix on the other. In such an interpretation of thetraditionalisation of \u27historical avant-gardes\u27 and the actualisation within the discourse of post-avant-garde \u27erasure\u27 of the poetical subject, Josip Sever\u27s poetical praxis represents an essential transition, or step, from the poetry of existence towards the poetry of language in Croatian poetical experience
