Nebojša Lujanović

Abstract

Starting with basic postulates of semiotics, interesting possible interpretations of personal names in Miljenko Jergovic’s stories are revealed to us. Inside a mode of discourse presented as constant conflict and change in the representation of meaning, these names are to understood as stable carriers of meaning in which the important motif of the curse occurs. The curse appears as the only constant in Jergovic’s chaotic world of hybrid identities and insolvable conflict.
