Sažetak
The paper analyses the diaries of two Croatian authors, Dragojla Jarnević
(1812 – 1875) and Ivana Brlić Mažuranić (1874 –1938), and Mani Gotovac’s
autobiographic prose I Miss you in Spring, in Autumn, in Summer and in Winter. The
poetic characteristics of said literary works follow the matrix of female literature,
frequently marked by a traumatic experience. Trauma is manifested by the selfdestructive
tendencies of the literary subject presented in two ways: by the specific
use of linguistic elements and/or, at the level of content, through the authors`
explicit narrative about their self-destructive tendencies. These tendencies were
motivated by the authors` inability to establish a satisfactory relationship with
the existing societal paradigms – symbolically denominated as authorities in this
paper. This predominantly subversive attitude towards authorities, which results
in the self-destructive tendencies of the literary subject, is particularly discernible
in Jarnević and Brlić Mažuranić. These authors also exhibit an inversely reciprocal
relationship between their self-destructive tendencies and their acknowledgment
of the metaphysical domain as a form of authority. Gotovac`s attitude towards the
metaphysical domain is different than that of Jarnević and Brlić Mažuranić; it is a sort
of “experience of faith through infidelity” (Šimundža). The aim of this paper is: 1) to
explore different manifestations of self-destructive tendencies in literary subjects, 2)
to explore the relationship between self-destructive tendencies and the metaphysical
domain, and 3) to enable the possibility of a different interpretation of the subversive
element of female literature by tackling the issue of whether a subversive attitude
towards authorities may be perceived as a latent tendency towards opening a
dialogue with them.
