Sažetak
The paper analyzes the documentary novel Beara by Ivica Đikić, which thematizes the genocide in Srebrenica through the lens of Colonel Ljubiša Beara, a key figure in the organization of mass executions in July 1995. Đikić tries to understand what motivated Beara to perform such a task. In the paper, Đikić’s novel is viewed in the context of literary representations of the Srebrenica massacre and as part of a wider tradition of documentary literature, and based on the theories of Zygmunt Bauman and Hannah Arendt, the phenomenon of the banality of evil and bureaucratic rationality in genocides is explored. The paper also deals with the wider literary and cultural echoes of the genocide in Srebrenica, emphasizing the role of literature as a medium of collective memory.
