Pursuing the Magic of Words in the Twentieth-Century’s Croatian and Serbian Literature
Abstract
The essay titled „Pursuing the Magic of Words in the Twentieth-Century’s Croatian and
Serbian Literature” discusses transformations of the awareness of the avant-garde and postmodernism
from the perspective of its relation to magic thinking. The essay advances
a vision of poetic language and the main figures of the avant-garde’s imagination, especially
the aesthetic conceptualizations of the messianic archetype. The avant-garde thinking
about the world of unity (of the world-man-language) is utopian and not infrequently
magic-esoteric. Postmodernism deconstructs symbolic language; it does not share the avantgarde’s
belief in the existential and creative power of imagination and the word. The virtual
culture of postmodernism reduces the value of the language sign and the referential function
of language; it disenchants the conceits of the magic word.
