Sažetak
During the numerous years of his creativity, Dragutin Tadijanović (1905 - 2007) thematised and included a wide range of poetic motifs in his work. Being a poet who carefully recorded the places and time of his poem’s nascence, making them almost as important as the text, he made it possible for future historians and literary theorists to analyze his poems as a specific autobiographical discourse. Also, an insight into Tadijanović’s biography gives a hint that city is of great significance for his life and therefore his creativity. In this sense, the paper aimed to recognize, analyse and discuss the function of European cities appearing in his poems. Although almost entire Tadijanović’s poetry could be read in the collections Collected Poems (2005) and Green Fruit (2006), for the purpose of this research only the former collection was consulted. Namely, there has not been any single poem in the Green Fruit collection that would meet the criteria of the theme of the paper. To achieve the mentioned goal, the following was performed: (1) we have identified the poems in which a European city was the place of nascence of the poem and/or a theme, i.e. a motif; (2) we have extracted specific European cities from Tadijanović’s poetry; (3) we have plotted the relationship between the states to which the cities belonged, given their representation in the poems; (4) we have analysed the poet’s experience of each particular city, with regard to his age and themes as well as the motifs of his poems.
