Post-yugoslav antiwar women's prose Пост-югославская антивоенная женская проза

Doktorska teza Post/jugoslavenska antiratna ženska proza konstituisana je na bazi istraživanja proznih djela spisateljica koje su tematizirale ratni raspad Jugoslavije od 90-ih godina 20. vijeka do danas. Logiku ovog izbora potvrđuje angažirano razumijevanje nauke u uspostavljanju nove naučne paradigme, kao i transnacionalni pristup zasnovan na inoviranoj metodologiji i teorijskom konstruktu koji imaju za cilj da u interdisciplinarnom i intersekcionalnom duhu rasvijetle fenomen rata. Predmet istraživanja određuje žensko iskustvo rata oblikovano u proznim žanrovima pisma, dnevnika i romana. Iz bogatstva nacionalnih književnih korpusa viđenih iz perspektive i okrilja post/jugoslavenskog konteksta odabrane su navedene forme jer se u odnosu na njihove poetičke karakteristike najpotpunije reprezentira fenomen artikulacije ženskog subjekta i srodni procesi formiranja sopstva i identiteta. Značaj teme se identificira ne samo teorijskim proširenjem korpusa, već i valoriziranjem autorki sa margina nacionalnih korpusa. Interpretacijom proznih djela autorki afirmiraju se drugačije vizije i ženska strana priče o ratu koja dovodi u pitanje zvanične društvene narative, štaviše ideologije koje su proizvele ratove. Istovremeno, na taj način u središte naučne pažnje se dovodi i pitanje angažmana i etike u pisanju, te pacifizma, humanizma i empatije prema drugima u svjesnoj feminističkoj prizmi kroz koju se promatra svijet i kultura rata. Doktorski rad je koncipiran u dimenzijama savremenih metodoloških i teorijskih pristupa, analizi poetike odabranih proznih formi, uspostavljanja paradigmi žanrova i na koncu odabranih pojedinačnih knjiga spisateljica predviđenih za temeljitu interpretaciju. Iz različitih teorijskih i interpretativnih pozicija u tezi se analizira zbirka pisama Vjetar ide na jug i obrće se na sjever (1994) autorki Biljane Jovanović, Rade Iveković, Maruše Krese i Radmile Lazić, potom Sarajevski dani, sarajevske noći: dnevnik i pisma 1992. - '94. (1994) Elme Softić i na koncu roman Rio bar (2006) Ivane Sajko. U polju autobiografskih istraživanja pisma i dnevnika primjenjuju se savremene čitalačke strategije pisanja o životu i ego-dokumenta, dok se u romanu ispituju feminističko- političke sfere oblikovanja teksta u odnosu na efekte ratne traume po ženski subjekt u dimenziji alkoholizma, posttraumatskog stresnog poremećaja i svete figure Djevice Marije. Cilj doktorske teze se ogleda u zadatku rekonstrukcije života obične žene u uslovima rata podređene ideološkim ciljevima. Tumačenjem transnacionalnog konteksta stradanja postići će se sklapanje mozaika humanističke antiratne priče, te svojevrsna univerzalnost iščitana iz traumatičnog efekta ratova na pojedinku. Dobiveni rezultati istraživanja će uticati na formiranje drugačijeg polja znanja uključivog u smjeru novih naučnih studija, otkrivanja autorki i različitih žanrova tekstova o ratovima.Doctoral thesis Post-Yugoslav antiwar women’s prose was constituted on the research basis of prose written by women authors who have thematized the violent breakup of Yugoslavia from the 1990’s to the present day. The choice of subject arises from an engaged understanding of science in establishing new scientific paradigms, as well as from the trans-national approach founded in modern metholody and theoretical constructs which aim to shed light on the phenomenon of war in an inter-disciplinary and inter-sectional way. The research subject is defined by women’s experience of war, in the shape ofs shaped in prose genres such as letters, diaries and novels. Those forms were chosen from the breadth of the national literary corpora viewed from the perspective and framework of the post-Yugoslav context, as the articulation of the female subject and the related processes of constructing one’s sense of self and identity are most fully represented with respect to the poetic characteristics of these forms. The importance of the topic lies both in the theoretical expansion of the corpora and in the valorisation of women authors from the margins of the national corpora. The interpretation of women’s prose affirms different visions and a female side of the story about war, which questions not only the official social narratives, but the very ideologies that caused those wars. At the same time, this places ethics in writing, along with pacifism, humanism, and empathy towards others, at the centre of scientific attention in a conscious feminist prism through which the world and the culture of war are viewed. The doctoral thesis was conceived in the dimensions of contemporary methodological and theoretical approaches, the analysis of poeticism of the selected prose forms, the establishment of genre paradigms, and, finally, in the selected individual books of women authors chosen for thorough interpretation. The letter collection Vjetar ide na jug i obrće se na sjever (1994) [The Wind Goes to the South and then Turns Northward] of authors Biljana Jovanović, Rada Iveković, Maruša Krese, and Radmila Lazić, then Sarajevski dani, sarajevske noći: dnevnik i pisma 1992-'94 (1994) [Sarajevo Days, Sarajevo Nights: diary and letters 1992-'94] by Elma Softić, and finally the novel Rio Bar (2006) [Rio Bar] by Ivana Sajko are analysed from various theroetical and interpretative positions in the thesis. The books undergo contemporary reading strategies of writing about life and egodocuments in the sphere of autobiographical genres (letters and diaries), while the novel is analysed through the feminist-political sphere of textualizing the effects of war trauma on the female subject through alcoholism, posttraumatic stress disorder, and the figure of Holy Virgin Mary. The aim of the doctoral thesis is to reconstruct the life of an ordinary woman, subjected to ideaological goals, during wartime. By interpreting the trans-national context of loss, the thesis assembles a humanist antiwar story mozaic and alludes to the universality oftraumatic effects of wars on an individual woman. The research contributes to an emerging field of knowledge, which can further develop through new scientific studies, the discovery of women authors and various genres of texts about wars
