Abstract
Although the Christian formation, which Gašpar Bujas
has mentioned, has been identified as a style of writing with its
specific religious worldview, it has not been detected as such in
the histories of literature. Discussions about it are carried on,
in which Christian elements are sought in particular literary
works. It makes sense, because, otherwise, a Christian history
of literature should be written, and it would cover all aspects of
literature in the West. However, the article has in its scope several
paradigmatic collections of poetry that from Christian point of
view, or in dialogue with it, thematically treat the mentioned
tradition. At it analysis is directed at completely unknown aspects
of younger generation, which dominantly started to constitute
during the nineties. Respecting various contexts of the generation
(social, anthropological, theoretical) on the one hand, and tradition
that is involved in their discourse on the other, the author tries to
identify the tradition and humanistic constant that the so called
post-modern culture has not or not substantially deconstructed.
We are talking about the following authors: Jozefina Dautbegović,
Lana Derkač, Rosario Jurišić Vrgada, Stjepan Lice, Radovan
Tadej, Mirko Ćurić. Leaving aside the values of every single poetic
experience, the article tries to present general cultural elements
coming from the Christian worldview circle.
