MONTENEGRO IN TRAVELOGUE BLACK LAMB AND GREY FALCON: A JOURNEY THROUGH YUGOSLAVIA, 1941) REBECCA WEST

Miluša Bakrač ; Univerzitet Crne Gore

Sažetak

The subject of this paper will be the presentation of Montenegro
in the travelogue Black Lamb and Grey Falcon by Rebecca West. This
travelogue will be analysed from the literary-historical, literary-theoretical
and imagological perspectives. We will deal with the chronotope of
Montenegro (Kolashin, Podgorica, Cetinje and Budva) and the national
identity of the Montenegrin people from the viewpoint of a travelogue
narrator that does not belong to that nation, as well as the creation of trans-
national identities. We will also pay attention to the construction of ethnic
stereotypes and their (non)duration in time. The paper will also include
a comparison of characters and events depicted in the travelogue with
historical figures and the events on which they are modelled.
“The key assumption of the literary-historical approach to the
travelogue discourse is finding its typical places, shaping specific rhetoric
of the travelogue based on a few backings from the narratology to the
history of mentality.” (Duda 1998, 92) The presentation of Montenegro
in the travelogue Black Lamb and Grey Falcon will be based on Duda’s
assumptions and Bakhtin’s perception of chronotope as “the essential
interconnection of time and space relations” (Bakhtin 1989, 193). We will
also take into account the views of Gerard Genette and Mieke Bal.
