Sažetak
This paper explores and describes the motifs, the style and the poetics of Malkica Dugeč, a Croatian poet living and working in Stuttgart, Germany. The focus of the paper lies in the analysis of figures of speech in Malkica Dugeč’s poetry reading through the prism of Luka Zima’s book “Figure u našem narodnom pjesništvu” (Figures in our Folk Poetry), as well as seen through the prism of contemporary literary historians and theoreticians such as Cvjetko Milanja and Krešimir Bagić. This paper also examines the relationship between Malkica Dugeč’s poetry with the two dominant models in Croatia’s poetry of the second half of the 20th century, the gnoseological and the semiotic model, and the author’s generational stance. In her poems Malkica Dugeč pays particular attention to the role of Croatian language, used not just as a key topic in all of her lyrical work, but also as the main subject of her entire social and political engagement. The research concludes that Malkica Dugeč, as one of the most prominent Croatian poets abroad, is also one of the best representatives of Croatian national literature outside the Republic of Croatia and especially of Croatian emigrant literature. The poet’s strong expatriate stance is heavily embedded in the structure of her poetry, primarily at the level of the chosen motifs, but also in the choice of her style and stylistic figures. All of this is resulting in her relative departure from the current poetic practice of her native Croatian homeland, as well as the entire Croatian literature.
