Abstract

This paper presents the problem of poetry classification, on the basis of the poem Jesenje veče [Autumn Evening] written by Antun Gustav Matoš. The mentioned poem, in school readers, is referred to as an example of landscape poem although in the accompanying tasks it is demanded of pupils to identify the presence of the author himself in the poem and explain the symbolism. That is, it is expected from pupils to think, contemplate and read the text – in one word, reflexion is required, by which the landscape becomes only the textual indicator of something else. Hence, this paper presents the possibility of a different classification of the poem, focusing on its reflexive elements, indicating extratextuality, shift from landscape, but above all a need to understand the text, contrary to its classification into a category.

Keywords

classification; extratextuality; landscape poem; reflexive poem
