Abstract
Magazine Savremeni pogledi, edited by Josip Berković, was published in Slavonski Brod in 1935 and 1936. This research puts the emphasis on the performative and transformative dimensions of periodicals: more than the texts on its pages, we were interested in the conditions of its production, controversies that followed it, the impact it had and the intertextual relations it joined. New historistic claim about recording into the physiognomy the works of all the transactions through which it has passed, the rise and fall of its symbolic power and social energy which it absorbed is visible from the polemics that the editor goes into. In subject polemical texts, no literary battles are fought, nor does one „fight” with literary „weapons”, it is a struggle for market domination and the opposition of ideological adversaries. Both types of polemic discourse read a social reality into a magazine, profile the collective as a group producer of its contents and meaning and take part in defining its influence.
