Sažetak
Gavran's Nora danas (2005), a contemporary Croatian psychological drama, is analysed from a literary-theoretical emotional point of view. Considering that this is the first scientific work of its kind about either world or Croatian modern and/or contemporary literature that deals with emotional studies as a contemporary literary discipline, a theoretical framework of emotional studies will be presented with an emphasis on Croatian literary science (the first Croatian emotional collection Poj željno was published in 2012). The connection between emotions and literature is immanent (Brković, 2015), and this paper focuses on researching the functionality of the (given) emotional category of the protagonist of a dramatic text in shaping social relations, specifically gender relations and literary manifestations of emotions. The aim is to show the role of typical emotions (anger, fear, sadness, joy) in building the identity of the dramatic protagonists Nora and Tony (anti-puppet and puppet), especially with respect to gender stereotyping. The methodology focuses on the dramatic narrative structure by integrating the methodological frameworks of affective narratology and the theory of conceptual metaphor. By analysing emotions as an expression
of feelings in a literary text (Brković, 2015), strategies of emotion representations and reception of emotions in contemporary Croatian drama, we explore contemporary concepts of literary theory - emotional studies, also touching upon cognitive psychology and neurobiological and philosophical theories of emotions. The newly conceived notion of emotional reversal in this paper seeks to contribute to the terminology of
emotionalism, which is still inconsistent as it is still being developed (Robinson 2004, Keen 2011). A new, emotional reading of a literary text also suggests the key to understanding the fundamental relations of (dramatic) narration within the poetics of contemporary (dramatic) literature.
