Tracing the Romantic creation of character in Croatian poetry of the end of the 20th century. From vampire to consumer
Abstract
One of the distinctive traits of Romantic literature was its frenetic feverishness
and frightening otherness, the embodiment of which was, among many other
beings, the vampire. This character in neo-Romantic contexts was sometimes
invoked by the representatives of Croatian poetry of the late twentieth century.
However, in its different currents it performed a different task. War and martyrdom
poetry collected in the anthology U ovom strašnom času used the specter
for the creation of a portrait of the enemy, while using the familiar clichés of
Renaissance variant of Croatian romanticism. Branko Maleš’ vampiric themes
merge into an indivisible whole with references to contemporary consumerism
and co-create an ironic self-portrait of a postmodern neo-Romanticist.
Maleš reaches for the themes of romantic strangeness and deconstructs them
in a ludic manner.
