Powieść Borislava Pekicia Jak pogrzebać wampira w kontekście sporów o heroizm w serbskiej prozie o drugiej wojnie światowej
Abstrakt
The article attempts to deal with the evolution of a paradigm which brings war heroism in Croatian and Serbian fiction into question. The analysis focuses on the novel of Borislav Pekić How to Quiet a Vampire (1977), but is contextualized within earlier literary poetics. The 1950s bring about a new model of a war hero who is temporarily hesitating but in the end returns to his earlier path (the path of revolution). There is a new tendency in the 1960s: they decisively give up their role in the war and revolution which leads them to insanity. The 1970s, which is exemplified by the novel of Pekić, attempt to break the deadlock caused by the previous defeatism by re-discovering man’s social nature. This, however, opens up completely new problems.
